CASE Custom Molds, Inc.Custom Molds, Inc., manufactures custom-.docxcowinhelen
CASE: Custom Molds, Inc.
Custom Molds, Inc., manufactures custom-designed molds for plastic parts and produces custom-made plastic connectors for the electronics industry. Located in Tucson, Arizona, Custom Molds was founded by the father-and-son team of Tom and Mason Miller in 1997. Tom Miller, a mechanical engineer, had more than 20 years of experience in the connector industry with AMP, Inc., a large multinational producer of electronic connectors. Mason Miller graduated from the Arizona State University in 1996 with joint degrees in chemistry and chemical engineering.
The company was originally formed to provide manufacturers of electronic connectors with a source of high-quality, custom-designed molds for producing plastic parts. The market consisted mainly of the product design and development divisions of those manufacturers. Custom Molds worked closely with each customer to design and develop molds to be used in the customer’s product development processes. Thus, virtually every mold had to meet exacting standards and was somewhat unique. Orders for multiple molds would arrive when customers moved from the design and pilot-run stage of development to large-scale production of newly designed parts.
As the years went by, Custom Molds’s reputation grew as a designer and fabricator of precision molds. Building on this reputation, the Millers decided to expand into the limited manufacture of plastic parts. Ingredient-mixing facilities and injection-molding equipment were added, and by the mid-2000s, Custom Molds developed its reputation to include being a supplier of high-quality plastic parts. Because of limited capacity, the company concentrated its sales efforts on supplying parts that were used in limited quantities for research and development efforts and in preproduction pilot runs.
Production Processes
By 2010, operations at Custom Molds involved two distinct processes: one for fabricating molds and one for producing plastic parts. Although different, in many instances these two processes were linked, as when a customer would have Custom Molds both fabricate a mold and produce the necessary parts to support the customer’s research and design efforts. All fabrication and production operations were housed in a single facility. The layout was characteristic of a typical job shop, with like processes and similar equipment grouped in various places in the plant. Figure 2.21 shows a layout of the plant floor. Multiple pieces of various types of high-precision machinery, including milling, turning, cutting, and drilling equipment, were located in the mold-fabrication area.
Fabricating molds is a skill-oriented, craftsman-driven process. When an order is received, a design team, comprising a design engineer and one of 13 master machinists, reviews the design specifications. Working closely with the customer, the team establishes the final specifications for the mold and gives them to the master machinist for fabrication. It is always the sa.

CUSTOM THERMOFORMING
Highly cosmetic, pressure-formed parts that meet strict quality
and functional requirements within tight timelines are a special-
ty of a Massachusetts thermoformer, which often teams up with
its sister company to solve customers’ engineering quandaries.
By Mark Shortt
Mayfield’s Custom Thermoforming Process
• Thermoforming starts with a flat sheet of plastic.
Mayfield’s machinery is capable of using a sheet size
up to 0.500-inch thick and up to 72 x 90 inches.
• The flat sheet is mounted into clamps and loaded
into an oven. After a specified heating time, the sheet
is removed from the oven and is ready to be formed.
• The hot sheet is located over or under the forming
tool and the tool is brought up to the sheet. A seal
is made around the sheet, and a combination of
vacuum and pressure causes the hot sheet to form to
the shape of the mold. After forming has taken place,
the sheet is held in place until the cooling process
has finished.
• A formed part is removed from the clamping and is
ready for the trimming processes. Trimming is done
via saw cutting, drilling, hand routing, and 3- or
5-axis CNC machinery.
• A finished part is cleaned and ready to be packed in a
polybag.

Experience, an attribute that medical device OEMs
value highly in their suppliers, is something that Mayfield
Plastics offers in abundance. Mayfield, an ISO 9001:2008
registered manufacturer of custom thermoformed parts,
has been active in the medical device thermoforming
space for over 40 years. During that span, the company
has partnered with medical device customers to design
and manufacture parts used in everything from medical
lasers to X-ray equipment, bone density scanners, CT scan
machines, and MRI machines. Other applications have
included medical carts, dental equipment, and custom
medical device packaging, such as clamshell containers
for patients’ belongings, first aid kits, and syringe trays.
Since 2006, the company has been operating a
60,000-square-foot facility in Sutton, Massachusetts, where
it works with major medical OEMs to make a variety of
housings, bezels, enclosures, panels, and medical packag-
ing, as well as medical trays and material handling prod-
ucts, among numerous others. With the coming together
of Mayfield Plastics and its sister company—Holyoke,
Massachusetts-based Universal Plastics—under the single
ownership of Jay Kumar in 2013, Mayfield’s customers
now have access to the full resources of both custom
thermoforming companies. Universal Plastics, known for
its in-house design capabilities, offers multiple in-house
services in addition to thermoforming, including painting,
EMI/RFI shielding, and assembly.
“Dual site capabilities allow us to meet all of our custom-
ers’ needs, provide excellent customer service, and guaran-
tee exceptional quality,” said Pia Kumar, Mayfield’s director
of corporate development, in an e-mailed response.
Mayfield’s custom thermoforming processes—thin and
heavy gauge forming, vacuum forming, pressure forming,
and twin-sheet forming—are able to convert a sheet of
plastic into a highly detailed finished product with consid-
erably less tooling investment than other plastic molding
processes, such as injection molding.
“As a supplier to OEMs, Mayfield Plastics’ biggest
strength is our proven track record in high quality, custom,
complex medical device product manufacturing,” said
Ms. Kumar. “Mayfield Plastics offers an extensive resume
in medical device parts manufacturing, and our expertise
lies in manufacturing a custom product suited to the cus-
tomer’s specific performance or functional need.
“Our medical device customers are looking to us to
design and/or manufacture a highly cosmetic part that
meets exacting quality and functional requirements,” she
continued. “The look and feel is highly specific to the
branding and image the customer is looking to portray
because usually, the parts we are manufacturing are highly
visible and critical to the aesthetic look of the overall medi-
cal device.”
Paul Davidson, sales engineer for Mayfield Plastics, said
that when bringing a medical product to market, medical
industry OEMs typically express concerns over two main
issues: the aesthetic appeal and cosmetic aspects of the
product, and the need for rapid turnaround.
“Typically, we’re seeing products that have been in
development for a while, and now they’re finally just get-
ting around to doing the exterior, the housing pieces,” he
said in an interview. “So we end up being the one that has
to hustle along trying to bring the project to completion.
And, of course, a lot of these medical devices are pretty
sophisticated and sell for a pretty high price point. So, to
go hand-in-hand with that, they’re usually looking for a
very modern, very high cosmetic level, with good aesthetics
and a good design concept behind it.”

The thermoforming process that’s most likely to be
chosen for Mayfield’s medical equipment projects is pres-
sure forming, a process tailor-made for highly cosmetic
parts. Pressure forming enables much sharper detail to be
achieved on thermoformed parts by increasing the form-
ing pressure well beyond that which is used in traditional
vacuum forming.
“Pressure forming allows you to form the parts into a
female mold, and the mold can actually be textured, just
like an injection mold would, so you can emboss the texture
into the part during the forming process,” said Davidson.
“It allows you to form tight corners and do some modern
design features, like ribs and style lines, which seem to be
in vogue these days.”
Kumar said that Mayfield Plastics offers all the services
that its medical device customers need, from product con-
ception to market launch. The company’s in-house design
engineers offer complete product design support and can
partner with the OEM customer to design the part. Its in-
house tooling department provides control over the entire
process, allowing Mayfield to provide speed to market
and guarantee the tight timelines that are so important
to medical device OEM customers.
On the manufacturing front, Mayfield provides a variety
of services—from secondary operations to accepting blan-
ket orders that allow for KanBan type stocking programs for
Just in Time deliveries—that enable the company to oper-
ate as a turnkey, single-source contract manufacturing part-
ner. The company operates 3-axis and 5-axis CNC equip-
ment for precise trimming of formed parts, and its roster of
secondary ser-
vices includes
complex assem-
bly, as well as
in-house finish
painting, RFI/
EMI shielding,
custom pack-
aging, exact
color match-
ing, and drape
forming. And
consistent with
its ISO certifica-
tion, Mayfield
has a rigorous
Quality Con-
trol department
that employs a
CMM to verify
tooling against
3-dimensional
models before
releasing the
tooling for production. After production, parts are in-
spected for conformance to quality standards.
“When a new customer comes to us, they want to know
that they are working with a company with experience,
a company that understands the highly cosmetic and
functionally exacting requirements of this market,” said

Kumar. “Along with Mayfield’s track record of successfully
working with major medical device OEMs, our in-house
engineering, design services and tooling are important
differentiators for customers. Because Mayfield Plastics is
able to provide comprehensive, end-to-end manufactur-
ing services, customers are guaranteed that consistency of
quality and that control on every element of the process
will remain with them.”
Like Kumar, Davidson credits Mayfield’s in-house
design, engineering, and toolmaking expertise as a dif-
ferentiator that enables the company to specialize in the
type of complex, custom products required by its medical
device customers. Toolmakers on staff bring more than
100 years of cumulative experience to their work. And
by combining its engineering staff with that of Universal
Plastics, its Holyoke, Mass.-based sister company, Mayfield
offers the mechanical and manufacturing engineering
talents of six engineers.
“What you find these days is that a lot of companies are
running lean and mean, and they don’t have the expertise
in the thermoforming business to know how to properly de-
velop parts for thermoforming,” Davidson said. “Also, they
just don’t have the staff necessary to devote the manpower
to getting designs done themselves. So being able to just
bring in a concept, or bring in some kind of an overview
of what they’re looking to do, and then hand it off to our
crew to finish up the design and come up with a detailed
product, is pretty important.”
The company’s full-service, in-house design services
include more than design assistance. Clients might come
to Mayfield with a framework that they’re looking to have
covered, Davidson said, or with a napkin sketch that needs
to be developed into a thermoformable part that requires
the creation of mounting points and cut-outs.
“We can actually take the customer’s concept and do a
design concept from that, and then develop it into a 3D
CAD model,” he said. “And we can send them the CAD
model so they can do a test up with their equipment before
we finalize the design. So, as far as thermoforming goes,

it’s a full-service design house, actually, right in house.”
A major medical equipment OEM customer recently
approached Mayfield with a design concept for a new
housing assembly for a new product. Operating on a lim-
ited budget, the customer was looking to achieve a very
specific overall appearance for the unit, which needed to
be a highly cosmetic, complex, multi-piece assembly with
many accessory components. Working together with the
customer, Mayfield was able to develop and execute on an
approach that met all of the exacting design and cosmetic
requirements while still coming in on budget and on time.
“Our in-house sales engineers and designers partnered
with their designers to develop a solution consisting of a
combination of pressure formed panels, with a texture
painted finish, [and] several access panels fabricated from
smoked acrylic,” said Kumar. “This included a large main
acrylic panel with several bends that needed to be precisely
fabricated to match the contours of the mating, pressure
formed end panels.” Ultimately, Kumar said, Mayfield pro-
vided its customer with a turnkey solution within the timeline
of their new product launch.
Ellen Sora, an account executive with Mayfield, said
that the company is able to provide what medical device
OEM customers value most in a supplier—“years of experi-
ence, the knowledge, the engineering background, and a
well-known history of making parts similar to what they’re
looking for,” she said.
Davidson agreed, adding that “they’re looking for you
to be cost competitive—not necessarily the lowest cost, but
it’s a combination of cost competitiveness, experience,
reliability, and capability, and I think we offer a very good
balance with those items.”
Mayfield’s location in Massachusetts is also advantageous
for medical device customers, many of whom are based less
than an hour away in the Boston-Cambridge metropolitan
area, well known as a magnet for medical research, inno-
vation, and entrepreneurship. About 65 to 70 percent of
Mayfield’s customer base comprises medical device clients,
Sora said.
“Close proximity certainly helps,” she said, adding that
“a lot of our customers like face-to-face visits and meetings,
to be able to sit down and actually discuss and work on their
projects together as a partnership.”
Davidson said that close proximity is helpful for other
reasons, too.
“A lot of companies these days like to pre-qualify their
vendors, so they like to do site surveys before they’ve chosen
someone as a supplier, and being in close proximity certainly
makes that easier,” he said. “We find that if the customer
is designing their own parts, being able to work with their
designers and come in and answer questions, and look at
the units on their floor and talk to them hand-to-hand, face-
to-face, in terms of what their design concept is, how the
panels are going to mount, how it’s going to mate up with
surrounding sheet metal components, what areas need to be
covered, where you need clearance—all that kind of thing is
much easier to accomplish when you can do it face-to-face
rather than trying to do it long distance.”
