Low-Volume Manufacturing
Market expects more customized products
than ever before, product developers turn their attention from large-scale
production to low-volume manufacturing. Small business is more likely to
reach a prototyping stages. TEAM Rapid, we are pound of ourselves in helping
customers with both large and small orders business. CNC machining, 3D
printing, vacuum casting and rapid tooling are the common Low-volume Manufacturing Methods. Team Rapid has more than 10 years experiences in
low-volume manufacturing. We are able to produce high quality parts at
competitive prices.
Low-volume manufacturing refers to
production at 100 to 100,000 parts quality level. As large volume production
usually requests high investment in tooling and set up, it is risky. Low-volume
manufacturing is less risky and flexible way to produced parts which offers
chance to shorten production lead tome and save production cost.
In automotive market, low volume manufacturing
might be fabricating a rapid tool that produce 50k-100k parts. In medical
field, it might be a rapid tool that produces 1000 parts. In prototype stage,
it may be a rapid tool delivers 50-100 parts. CNC Machining, 3D Printing,
vacuum Casting are also low volume manufacturing options.
Before running into mass production, making
low-volume products is an easy way for designers to check design, assembly and
manufacturabiliy. So, low-volume manufacturing is much more cost-effective than
full scale production as it reduces the total cost of production. Small batch
production narrows the gap between prototype and production. It allows
customers to put the end products to the market faster and any potential
problem can be found, then, quick corrections will be act before mass
production.
When customers choose us for their low-volume manufacturing supplier, rapid turnaround is always key point for them to consider at the prototyping stage. At TEAM Rapid, our CNC machining lead time is normally 2-8 weeks. And our 3D printers are able to print a prototype of a design in a very short time frame. Our experienced team of engineers is familiar with low-volume manufacturing process.
