SVC-07
Small Batch Manufacturing
Runs of tens to hundreds of parts, with documented settings, batch inspection, and consistent finishing.
When to use this service
- You need production quantities below injection-molding economics
- A pilot run must validate the market before tooling investment
- Ongoing low-volume demand: spares, accessories, niche products
- Bridge production while hard tooling is being made
What you get beyond the part.
Repeatability engineered in
Locked process parameters, batch travelers, and per-batch inspection.
No tooling cliff
Revision N+1 costs a file change, not a new mold.
Scale-up path
When volumes justify molding or machining, the design and documentation are ready to transfer.
How the work runs.
STEP 01
Production review
Validate the design for repeatable manufacture; lock the spec.
STEP 02
First article
Pilot unit inspected and approved by you before the run.
STEP 03
Batch production
Run with locked parameters and in-process checks.
STEP 04
Inspection & finishing
Batch-level dimensional verification and finishing.
STEP 05
Fulfillment
Packed, labeled, shipped, or scheduled as a recurring run.
Scope
Ideal for
- Startups
- Research programs
- Pilot production
- Replacement components
- Niche products
Typical applications
- Pilot production runs
- Bridge manufacturing
- Recurring spares programs
- Low-volume commercial products
- Custom hardware for research
Asked before, answered plainly.
What quantities count as 'small batch'?
Typically 10 to 500 units per run, depending on part size and material. Above that, we'll talk honestly about whether molding or machining serves you better.
How do you keep parts consistent across a run?
The process is locked after first-article approval: same material lot where possible, same machine settings, and dimensional checks sampled through the batch.
