Reverse Osmosis Water Dispenser
Company: Water Island
In conjunction with President and CEO, Dean Robinson, also named Entrepreneur of the Year by President Ronald Reagan, we developed six prototype reverse osmosis water dispenser units.
The challenge: Design units that would perform three of the five steps of the reverse osmosis process while allowing the dispensing of water into two one-gallon jugs or one five-gallon and a one-gallon jug simultaneously.
We accomplished the challenge and did so by taking up less than a 4-sq. ft. footprint of space in a grocery store.
In addition to the housing, over 40 component parts were produced by ShapeMaster. We then assembled each system which served as a supply unit to the produce case, baker proofers, drinking fountains, ice machines and other locations throughout the grocery store.
The cabinet is made entirely of ABS thermoplastic molded over a one-piece tool, demonstrating just how creative we can be. The texture is fine and allows for easy cleaning, yet offers a look that hides small scratches and fingerprints.

Tomato Stem Icon
Company: Pizza Restaurant
A flying tomato serves as the icon (or logo) for a local pizza restaurant. The challenge: Construct a tomato stem out of molded plastic (vs. former models of fiberglass) for use on top of their red pizza delivery vehicles. The fiberglass stems they had used in the past faded and they preferred something more realistic as the fiberglass versions had customers asking if the icon was a chicken foot!
Due to the size of the delivery vehicles, the tomato stem and leaf assembly needed to be over 40-inches in diameter. At that time, our equipment was not capable of forming something so large. Thus, we opted to form six individual leaves to first create the leaf assembly and then created the stem by forming two halves and bonding them together. The leaves were bolted together and the stem was bolted to a bracket attached to the leaves. Since the leaf assembly was bolted together, we were able to modify it later when our client decided to adapt the tomato stems to be used as patio umbrella toppers.

Custom Electronic Enclosures
Company: General Industry
We originally designed these cases for electronic enclosures and they have since become a popular item for hobby and miscellaneous production applications. We currently make two sizes, including a business card sized box which was originally developed as a hand-held joy-stick type enclosure. Many companies are using this box for products in commercial and consumer markets. The top of the card box overlaps the bottom, which give it adjustability in overall height if needed. The top can be fastened by adhesive, plastic rivet or sheet metal screw. Our larger box features dimensions that will hold a 5.25" item, from 1.5" to 2.125" in height.
Both boxes are available in small quantities, white or black ABS with a wall thickness of .050". The standard exterior surface is a fine texture; however, a smooth surface is available as well. We also offer custom hole, slot or square hole punching, drilling or routing with all stock electronic cases or trays.

Tin Ceiling Renovation Project
Company: Insurance Office in Historic Building
An insurance company purchased a building to restore for their new offices. When the drop ceiling was removed they found the original tin tile ceiling; however, a number of tiles had been destroyed or removed during a prior remodel. This left them disheartened. Then, they discovered ShapeMaster, and agreed to send us one each of the metal tins that were required to reconstruct the ceiling. We made plaster molds to replicate the metal tins and set them up for vacuum forming. We molded white polystyrene high impact paintable plastic for the tiles which could be easily trimmed by laborers in the reconstruction process to ensure an exact fit. A wonderful story that ended in a beautiful restoration.

Custom Motorcycle Accessories
Company: Suzuki M50
We are passionate about Suzuki M50 motorcycles and thus began designing and manufacturing parts for M50 bikes. Our custom chin spoiler was created to replace the stock Suzuki radiator cover. Following the curved design of the M50, our custom chin spoiler results in that sleek look you have always wanted, creating a little “attitude” on the front of your bike. Manufactured of ABS molded plastic, our chin spoiler features either a silver mesh or honeycomb grille finish and comes painted in flat black, gloss black, or wet sanded and ready for the paint color of your choice. Add flames, decals, or bolt on neat metal items to make your own statement. The air flow is great and you’ll experience no problems with overheating. Simply bolt on the black powder coated custom metal bracket we include and in less than 15 minutes your bike looks hotter than your neighbors and cooler than any other M50 on the road, until they too buy a ShapeMaster custom chin spoiler!
Product tests have been performed at speeds up to 105 mph on rough roads, including crazy peg dragging. You won’t find a better designed product!

Crows for Fundraising Project
Company: Danville, Illinois Theater
We designed these crows to help raise money for a local area theater where icons such as Dick and Jerry Van Dyke and Gene Hackman have performed. The Danville, Illinois area has a problem with crows and they wanted to incorporate the much hated crow as a drawing card for the town to rally help for the theater and to have a parade. Scarecrows walked down the street, and local businesses painted up and decorated large crows to display in front of their businesses on heavy concrete stands. The crows were wonderful to look at and helped raise the needed money for the theater.
