When designers, engineers and businesses take product development into consideration, many of them see prototyping and mass production as the primary goal posts. But there are times when low-volume manufacturing is the optimal choice for those who need modest quantities of finished parts, ranging anywhere from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands. By using a professional prototyping and manufacturing service like BESTA, our customers gain the ability to acquire the exact amount of parts they desire, no matter what the final count might be.
At BESTA, we will be there to help you along every step of the way, from the initial product design review and quotation to quality inspection of your newly manufactured parts. In addition to specialising in prototyping and mass production, we are also specialist when it comes to low-volume manufacturing. Contact our expert team today to get a free project review and initial quotation. If you need a prototype to verify your design first,
please review our rapid prototyping services.
In order to decide whether a low-volume manufacturing service is right for your production needs, it’s important to first understand exactly what low-volume manufacturing is. At the surface, the term is relatively self-explanatory. Low-volume manufacturing is a specialised service that offers mass-production quality parts in a small volume, generally limited to 100,000 parts or fewer – depending on the manufacturing technique used.
Investment Casting is a very cost-efficient way to make medium and high volume metal parts in aluminum, steel, stainless steel, brass, etc. Combine with additive manufacturing, the pattern can be made without making tooling. That means we can also cast complex metal.
Many prototyping and low-volume service companies normally reject low-volume extrusion projects, but these fit our capabilities very well.
BESTA offers a range of precision CNC machining services, including milling, turning, EDM (electrical discharge machining), surface grinding and more. With our precision 3-, 4- and 5-axis CNC machining centers, combined with other advanced capabilities and our experiences.
Although pressure die casting is typically used for large-run manufacturing, BESTA has taken it upon itself to offer this service for low-volume production as well. Like injection molding, we use certified machines and pressure casting dies to create parts from molten metal.
If you need low-volume production of durable and end-use metal parts, you can also utilise sheet metal fabrication.BESTA's sheet metal fabrication service includes bending, punching and cutting standard gauge metal for both prototypes and low volume production.
BESTA offers high quality aluminum prototype tooling and hardened steel tooling for both low volume production needs of plastic parts. When using our plastic injection molding technology, you can select from a wide range of plastic resins, as well as customized colors and finishes.
