I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

3D printing has been around for decades for businesses to rapid prototype their designs, but in the last few years the technology has become affordable enough for hobbyists and small businesses to purchase and produce their own plastic goods. The home and commercial 3D printing industry is projected to be worth over $3 billion by 2018. Tools Toys and Trinkets plans to be a competitive business in this industry with our printing and laser cutting services. In addition to producing quality plastic and electronic goods for sale in our shop and online, we will also allow others to use our machines to print or cut their own custom designs for a nominal fee plus cost of materials. We plan to begin full scale 3D printing operations by early 2015, selling products online and also in a physical store in downtown Astoria.

Mission Statement: We aim to be the go to place in town for unique, quality products made to order with a personal touch.

Objectives:

• To raise funds and awareness for mental illness and recovery.• To develop an efficient, safe, reliable and fun system to quickly produce quality

products.• To have excellent customer relations to get repeat business.• To have the means to do research and development into better 3D Printers, robotics,

games, alternative energy and assistive technology.• To support and respect local and online designers with their research and projects.• To compete with local and online businesses in an honorable manner and forming

partnerships where possible and mutually beneficial.• If we are sufficiently successful we would like to provide supported employment to

people with physical and or mental disabilities and give everyone a fair chance at self sufficiency and success.

Keys to Success:

• By utilizing open source designs as well as our own imaginations, we will have an almost unlimited amount of products to offer and should have something for everybody.

• Our machines are inexpensive, easy to use and are capable of printing their own replacement parts which will give us excellent uptime and production capacity.

• We will have the ability to produce items on demand, often with same or next day service.

• We will have our physical store as well as an online store to give us a large potential sales base.

• We are very motivated, dedicated and extremely passionate about and take great pride in what we are setting out to do.

• We will be capable of personalizing almost any item we have available for printing or engraving, giving the items a unique touch.

• Our on site recycling capabilities will allow us to keep our costs low and keep waste materials to a bare minimum.

• While Astoria is a small town, it is a very popular year round tourist destination with the strongest traffic being in the mid to late spring until early to mid fall.

II. Description of Business:

Tools Toys and Trinkets, LLC will be new and unique 3D printing and laser cutting retail and manufacturing nonprofit located in Astoria Oregon and online that is capable of creating an almost unlimited variety of goods manufactured with Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and PolyLactic Acid (PLA) plastics in almost any color as well as simple electronic and mechanical devices and components utilizing open source hardware and software wherever possible. We can make plastic tools and jigs, toys, flower pots, statues, storage containers, custom lamp shades, refrigerator magnets, jewelry, and also replacement parts for toys and many appliances. In addition we are capable of creating building and home mockups for construction companies and contractors as well as provide rapid prototyping services for local businesses and designers. We will be capable of producing high quality items on demand with quick turn around time. Our 60 watt laser cutter can cut and engrave up to 1/2” thick materials and is equipped with a rotary tool to engrave cylindrical objects. In addition to our normal production services, we will be capable of recycling or repurposing almost any type of clean plastic material on location as well as most unbroken glass containers, cardboard, unwanted and or broken electronics and even bad recordable discs. All proceeds beyond what is needed to pay our team and maintain and grow our business will be donated to local chapters of mental health organizations.

Company Ownership/Legal Entity:

Tools Toys and Trinkets will be owned and operated by Eric Renfro and Sam Breitenbauch and will be registered as a Limited Liability Company, or LLC once we have paid the $100 annual license fees and filled out all of the required paperwork.

Location:

We have not yet acquired or decided upon a location at this time, but would prefer it to be in Downtown Astoria.

Interior

We should not require more than 2500 sq. feet for our store and could likely make it work with less space as well. We would need to install an exhaust vent for the laser cutter and get the store wired for the internet through Charter Communications. We may also need to enclose a section for our work area. We will also be installing energy efficient lighting to save on utility expenses. We have a rough idea of the floor plan and where everything will go. In the front windows we will have Video monitors that will loop time-lapse videos of our machines in action producing our products. We will display our items on shelves, on the walls and probably also hang some on the ceiling. We want to create a pleasant and fun atmosphere as well as put our own products to use for display, work and or storage wherever possible.

Hours of Business

9:00 AM - 9:00 PM (Monday-Saturday) 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM (Sunday) Art Walk Saturdays: Open House with refreshments. 5-9 PM Closed on major holidays as well as last Sunday of the month for machine maintenance, updates and calibration.

Products and Services: We will be producing quality 3d printed and laser cut plastic items from Thingiverse, Instructables, Hack a Day and our own original designs such as tools and jigs, toys, flower pots, statues, storage containers, custom lamp shades, refrigerator magnets, jewelry, and also replacement parts for toys and many appliances. We will also create laser cut and engraved signs, murals, mirrors, dioramas, etc. These will be desirable because they can be customized as far as the sizes, colors and other attributes are concerned. Another selling point is that these items will be manufactured and hand assembled locally. Some items may be sold fully assembled or in a kit form for less money. We will have a small initial line of products that we regularly produce as well as a catalog of items that can be made on demand and will adjust our lines based on the popularity of the products. We will also provide affordable rapid prototyping services for any local business or individual who requires them. We will respect and support local and online designers and will provide full credit to them whether it is required or not. While we will be fully capable of producing just about anything, there are a few things we will not create. We will not manufacture functioning firearms, nor any other thing significantly more dangerous without adult supervision than hobby rockets and Nerf-like weapons. We will also respect copyrighted and trademarked material and not offer such things for sale unless permission is given by the copyright and trademark holders. The only possible

exception to this will be for store decorative purposes, or the item makes a good demonstration piece for technology demonstrations. Inventory Control and Security:

We will have a security system consisting of cameras and alarms to discourage shoplifting and vandalism. All completed items will be labeled and entered into our inventory system so we know what is on hand and what is selling. We will never make more items than we think we can sell. Items that don’t sell well will be discontinued from regular production and recycled, however the items may remain in the catalog for production on demand.

Suppliers:

We will be buying our plastic filaments from Makerbot industries; http://www.makerbot.com, Solidoodle http://www.solidoodle.com and other materials from Ebay sellers. We will be using Sparkfun, Jameco, Mouser, Gadget Gangster, DigiKey and others for electronic components. We will purchase our jewelry kits from various Ebay vendors. We plan to contract exclusively with US based printed circuit manufacturers for our printed circuit board needs.

Manufacturing:

We will be manufacturing most of our items and tools in-house save for any complex electronics. Our facilities will consist of four 3D printers, two CNC etching,cutting and milling machines, various computers, two soldering stations and drill presses, various common tools, dremel tools, sanders, paints and a 60 watt CO2 laser cutter.

3D model data will be converted into G-code and sent to the 3D printer which will lay down molten ABS or PLA plastic, layer by layer until the object is finished. Once cool, any supporting material is removed and if needed the object may be ground down or sanded to the desired final appearance. Any electronic portions will be soldered by hand if needed or simply plugged into the item requiring them. Our laser cutter works in much the same manner with the computer sending vector graphics data to the laser cutter which reproduces the design onto the chosen material. We will be selling our items directly to the public in our store and online.

We will ship items USPS, FEDEX and UPS.

Management:

Eric Renfro has an Associates degree in computer graphics with an emphasis on 3D modeling. He also has 12 years of manufacturing and assembly experience which includes loading printed circuit boards, soldering and building mechanical assemblies such as robotics. He is also very familiar with the workings of computers and will be maintaining them as well as our business’Local Area network. Eric also has experience operating a cash register, taking inventory and placing orders as well as shipping and receiving goods. He will be using that experience to design and implement a safe, reliable, efficient and fun manufacturing and sales environment where everyone is as capable as anyone else at any task required. Sam Breitenbauch is experienced in building and painting physical models and will also be trained in operating our manufacturing equipment and perform maintenance.

Eric Renfro is the general manager and Sam Breitenbauch is the assistant manager. We will provide full training to any additional employees and we will have an employee handbook

with detailed illustrated documentation of all the rules and procedures. We will always be open to our employee’s and our customers’ ideas and suggestions.

Financial Management and Funding:

By January 3, 2013 We will have a Business account set up at a local bank for saving money towards our purchases. At least $1080 a month will be deposited into the account from Social Security PASS funds and additional personal savings and donations from our gofundme.com fundraising page. We will also be applying for any grants and loans that we may qualify for.

We expect to be able to build or purchase the majority of our equipment by late 2013 and will likely be able to get a business license, rent and remodel store space in downtown Astoria, buy insurance, utilities, phone and internet by the end of 2014 or early 2015.

Total startup costs and one year operations are approximately $125,907.00. To break even in year one of phase two operations, we would need to have $10,492.25 in monthly sales after taxes and fees. After year one, the break even point will be $8,987.83 in monthly sales.

We expect to become profitable in our second year of operations by having regular sales and promotions, and by keeping tight control over our inventory of materials, only buying as needed with the right balance of price vs. quality. We will strive to keep our waste and scrap to a minimum to maximize our revenue and supply chain. All of our anticipated maintenance and repair issues are capable of being resolved by ourselves so there is little need to call repairmen as far as our computers and printers are concerned. By keeping detailed records and books we will be able to notice and correct for any emerging trends that may be beneficial or detrimental to our bottom line.

III. Marketing:

Market Analysis:

Our target markets are children, adults young and old, hobbyists, gardeners education, tabletop and board gamers, tourists, artists and collectors. There are probably several hundred to thousands in the community who would purchase our products as well as thousands of tourists every year. We believe our business is lucrative and innovative. We will determine the market for our products once we can get a tent at the Astoria Sunday Market and see what things sell the most. We will also have an online store running as well and run the best advertising campaign we can afford. We should be able to capture a large market for our services because there is currently no local competition.

Market Segmentation:

11

Page 12: Tools, Toys & Trinkets, LLC Tools, Toys & Trinketstoolstoysandtrinkets.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/7/7/13773959/newbusi… · “Anything you can imagine...Made Just for You” Tools,

We believe the market for our products is divided into six distinct segments with toys and hobbyist products most likely to be our biggest sellers. We can quickly adapt our production should there be a larger than expected demand for any of the other categories and meet any need.

Market Segments

Competition:

No other local businesses to my knowledge are doing anything exactly comparable to our business. While we will be selling items that can be purchased cheaper elsewhere, we believe that the personal touches we can add will be seen as worth the extra cost. We would have to compete with online sales and perhaps international imports from shapeways.com and Ponoko.com, but we live in in area that likes to support local businesses and the fact that our items will be made locally gives us a good advantage. We also have a strong tourist presence during the spring, summer and early fall which should give us extra traffic during those months. We will best be able to compete with the online printing services by offering unique, exclusive products that we will design that will be unavailable from other vendors. We are very tech savvy and already keep up with all innovations and changing trends, so we will constantly try to match or exceed what competitors are doing.

Pricing:

Our pricing policy is based on material, labor and overhead plus markup. Due to the considerable extra costs involved with the glow in the dark ABS plastic, there will be a one dollar premium for large prints using that material.Our prices shall be reasonable, but possibly slightly higher than the competition in some areas, but we believe that our ability to personalize and customize almost any item would still make our items desirable. We will keep detailed records on our sales, inventory, expenses and other overhead to make sure we’re profitable. We will also minimize waste by doing it right the first time.

Advertising and Promotion:

We plan to advertise by placing flyers downtown, as well as buying some radio spots on KMUN and possibly other stations. We plan to also take out ads in the Daily Astorian and Hipfish monthly magazine. We hope to also get good word of mouth once we are established through doing high quality economical work with our products. Our initial advertising budget will be around $500 a year. Once we begin production of our products we will begin thinking about the best ways to package them. We will make a great effort to be environmentally conscious with our packaging materials as well as being aesthetically pleasing.

Environmental Impact:

We plan to minimize our energy usage footprint by using low power consuming computer equipment, LED lighting systems and possibly supplementing grid electrical power with solar and wind energy. With our Filobot Reclaimer, we will be capable of recycling over 90% of our scrap plastic, bad builds or unsold inventory in-house. Any leftover wood and acrylic from wood and acrylic projects will be saved and used for other projects to keep wood and acrylic scrap to a minimum. We will work with the local restaurants to acquire empty glass bottles for bottle engraving products. We will also find a recycling center that will take our scrap electronic boards after they have been stripped of reusable components. Any scrap paper we have will be shredded and recycled into packing material. We will also consider implementing a trade in program. For example, after 30 days a customer has decided they no longer need or want a product purchased by us, or it has become broken. We will take the item back and depending on the size and composition, we will offer 5-25% off of a different item. We may also offer a certain percentage off of items if they bring in anything that we could recycle, repair or repurpose.
