Low Volume Production Without Tooling Costs
An injection mould only pays off at high volumes. Until then, 3D printing is the way to get a batch of parts out without the one-off investment that would stop the project before it starts.
Calculate the batch priceWhen low volume printing pays off
Put simply, when the quantity is too large to make by hand and too small to justify a mould.
- You need tens to hundreds of parts and a mould would never pay for itself at that volume.
- The design may still change and you do not want to commit to tooling that cannot absorb a change.
- The batch will repeat irregularly and holding a large stock makes no sense.
How it works with us
-
1
Upload the model and choose the quantity. The calculator prices the whole batch straight away.
-
2
We recommend a material based on where the parts end up, and review the model for details that would make printing needlessly awkward.
-
3
We print to an accuracy of 0.1 to 0.3 mm depending on the chosen layer height. Every piece in the batch runs from the same settings.
-
4
We dispatch within five working days and deliver to Czechia, Slovakia, Germany and Austria.
Which batches this suits
First production run
The ramp-up stage, where details are still being refined and tooling would be premature.
Parts for your own product
Components assembled into a finished product and made in small quantities.
Technical and in-house fittings
Holders, jigs and covers produced in dozens of pieces for your own operations.
Low volume production: frequently asked questions
How many pieces can you handle?
We normally work in tens to hundreds of pieces. For larger volumes, get in touch and we will agree on a schedule.
Will every piece be identical?
The whole batch is printed with the same settings and the same material. Accuracy ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 mm depending on the chosen layer height.
What if the design changes between batches?
The change lives in the model. Unlike an injection mould, no tooling has to be reworked - you simply send the new version.
