Low Volume Production with Injection-Molding Quality using DLP Technology

Traditional high-volume manufacturing is under pressure. Geopolitical conflicts, material shortages, pandemics, transportation disruptions, and the growing need for customization are all straining supply chains and inventory management.  

To stay competitive, businesses need innovative solutions - and low volume manufacturing is increasingly popular. 

For low volume production, additive manufacturing offers a cost-effective solution, addressing some of the limitations of traditional manufacturing: 

  • Avoid the high costs and long lead times associated with tooling. 
  • Print on demand, supporting small volume manufacturing. 
  • Create complex designs in a single print, reducing assembly time.
  • Bring production in-house, mitigating supply chain disruptions. 

FAQ

High-mix low-volume manufacturing involves producing a diverse range of products in small quantities. It’s particularly beneficial for companies that need to offer a variety of customized products without the  costs associated with traditional high-volume manufacturing. As consumers prefer more customized or personalized products, and companies look for reducing costly inventory, the need for economically viable high-mix low volume manufacturing methods has been growing. 

Low volume manufacturing refers to the production of parts in small quantities. It is often used for prototyping, custom parts, and short-run productions, providing a cost-effective alternative to traditional high-volume manufacturing.

Low volume manufacturing offers many advantages over traditional high-volume manufacturing because it eliminates the need for expensive tooling, reduces upfront costs, and offers greater design flexibility. It allows for on-demand production, minimizing inventory and waste. Additionally, it enables faster prototyping and quicker response to market changes, making it a more efficient and cost-effective solution for small volume production.
