Small-batch manufacturing

Small batches, made consistently

When you need tens or hundreds of a part — not millions — printing avoids tooling costs and lets you change the design between batches. We focus on consistency: the same approved file, settings and inspection every run.

Who it's for

  • Product businesses with short-run items
  • Hardware teams between prototype and injection moulding
  • Companies replacing small machined or moulded plastic parts

How it works

  1. 01

    Share the part and volumes

    Quantities per batch and how often you'll reorder shape the price.

  2. 02

    Sample first

    We recommend a small sample batch to agree on appearance and fit.

  3. 03

    Lock the production profile

    Approved file version, material, colour and settings are saved.

  4. 04

    Produce and inspect

    Each batch is checked against the agreed criteria before shipping.

What to send us

  • Part files
  • Batch quantity and expected reorder frequency
  • Acceptance criteria (critical dimensions, cosmetic surfaces)
  • Target unit price, if you have one

Honest limits

  • Capacity is finite — large or urgent batches are scheduled honestly, not overpromised
  • Above certain volumes injection moulding becomes cheaper per part; we'll tell you if you've reached that point
  • FDM parts vary slightly between prints; critical features may need design allowances

Materials

Batches run in a single approved material and colour lot where possible to keep appearance consistent. Compare materials.

Questions

Do you offer volume pricing?

Yes. Quotes include quantity breaks, and recurring agreements can lock pricing for approved parts.

Can you package or label parts?

Basic bagging and labelling can be discussed during quoting.
