Risk-Free Low-Volume Manufacturing for All Your Needs

Bringing a new product into the market or bringing an old one into a newer market? Low-volume manufacturing is quick and affordable solution geared at mitigating product development risks associated with introducing new products to new markets. 

Unlike the high risk and high capital requirement associated with high-volume production that can run into hundreds of thousands or even million units, low-volume manufacturing is a popular philosophy in general manufacturing that has helped several new products navigate the risky journey of idea to product quickly and affordably without compromising on quality standards.

At Firstmold, we achieve low-volume manufacturing with any one or a combination of two of four technologies namely CNC machining, Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing), Rapid Tooling and Polyurethane Vacuum Casting. Firstmold has no minimum order requirements, and can deliver anything between 1 to 1000 units in as quick as 1 to 7 days, and can make low-volume parts that are accurate to 0.005” in dimensions and tolerances.

Enhanced Quality Assurance for Low Volume Production

At FirstMold, it is quality over high-volume runs that we are committed to, ensuring that even small-batch orders are held to rigorous standards. It does not mean that low-volume production compromises quality. Each of our projects is dealt with its detailed and diligent examination procedures. The non-destructive and modern tools that we embrace include a coordinate measuring machine and some other non-destructive testing techniques that result in great accuracy in every part that is fabricated by our firm. Whether the company is producing 10 units or a thousand, the quality control department will ensure that each piece is as near to the designed pattern as possible to reduce the number of faulty items that may be produced and in turn increase customer satisfaction.
