Small batch manufacturing

Production quality parts in the quantities you actually need, without mold costs.

// Why small batch

The gap between a prototype and manufacturing in a factory

Injection molding makes sense at ten thousand units. It makes no sense at two hundred, where the mold alone can cost more than your entire first production run. Small batch 3D printing fills that gap. We produce runs of 10 to 500 identical parts on a calibrated print farm, with no tooling, no minimum order, and no penalty for changing the design between batches. For a product still finding its market, that last part matters most: your revision costs nothing but the new file.

Mold + moldingPrint farm

Every run starts with a first article. We print one part, you approve it, and the full batch is produced on those exact settings and measured against that reference. Your profile stays on file afterward, so a reorder six months later matches the first run precisely. We handle assembly, inserts, fasteners, labels and retail ready packaging when you need them, and we will tell you honestly when your volumes have grown to the point where molding becomes the cheaper path. Several of our batch customers started as prototyping customers the week before; the handoff is the whole point.

// FAQ

Good to know.

Is there a minimum order?

No. Batch pricing starts at 10 pieces.

When is molding better?

Usually above a few thousand parts. We'll tell you honestly if it is.

What is a first article?

The first part off the run. We print one, you approve it, and the whole batch is produced on those exact settings and measured against it.

Can I change the design between batches?

Yes, with no penalty. There is no tooling to scrap, so a revision costs nothing but the new file.

Will a reorder match the first batch?

Yes. Your print profile stays on file, so a reorder months later runs on the same settings and matches the first run.
