What Is Low-Volume Manufacturing?

Low volume manufacturing is a specialized service offering full production-quality parts but in volumes usually limited to 100,000 pieces or fewer, depending on the process used. This is an increasingly popular option for many product categories, allowing for a more limited investment in tooling and materials while providing quick access to markets, rapid response to shorter product life cycles and as a bridge between initial prototypes and high-volume production.

How can low-volume manufacturing help you and your business? 

• Create a bridge between a few prototypes and full-scale production
• Reduce cost with no minimum orders, less expensive tooling
• Provide rapid access to emerging markets
• Respond quickly to shorter product life cycles
• Allow for faster design changes
• Shorten production lead time
