Abstract A prototype shop manager at a global cleaning, sanitation and service company thought outside the "bottle" - er, "box" - when he defied conventional reason and rotationally molded a liquid soap dispenser in record time for testing on a production line halfway around the globe. Most model makers would have blow molded the small, amphora-shaped soap bottle that weighs less than one ounce. However, this process could have required as much as 15 weeks of preparation. Since time was of the essence, Ecolab, Inc. - a global cleaning, sanitation and service company (Mendota Heights, MN), utilized the rapid cut tooling (RCT) process to form an aluminum mold, which was then sent to a local company where the soap containers were rotationally molded. Thirty completely seamless prototypes were made in just 4 days. XX
