High Quality Low Volume Manufacturing

What is Low Volume Manufacturing?

It has a production volume of 50 to 100,000 parts; it is also the bridge from rapid prototyping to full production. In other areas, they use small-batch production methods for market testing. Otherwise, it's an ideal way to manufacture and get products to market quickly. At the same time, you are responding to design modifications and shortening manufacturing cycles.

Although the CNC machining process for small batches may be different, the manufacturing of small batches remains the same. The process is also independent of the tools or materials used.

CNC custom machining usually refers to low-volume CNC machining for production purposes performed according to customer-specific specifications and individual needs, while meeting precise quality, on-time delivery, and cost-effectiveness and affordability.

The benefits of CNC machining align well with the low-volume production requirements of custom parts, including precision, repeatability, and process flexibility, as well as a wide choice of materials, all of which help bring products to market faster.

Low Volume CNC Metal and Plastic

Traditionally, CNC technology has been called a precision machining method. Over the years, the demand for its services has grown. Its use and applications extend to a new range of materials. Now, the technology can be used to machine metal and plastic parts.

CNC Metal Parts

CNC machining technology has become a viable method of manufacturing custom machined parts. Its versatility and precision can quickly simplify the machining of metal parts. Setup includes adjustable clamps as standard, with machine positioning tools used to compensate for inconsistencies.

Widely used low-volume CNC methods are lathe turning. Key advantages are high precision and the ability to machine any metal type, from common steel to different grades of stainless steel. In addition, it can machine metals with poor machinability, such as titanium alloys. Differences occur in tool life or cutting parameters and feasibility.

CNC Plastic Parts

The use of plastic materials is part of CNC development. Therefore, the birth of CNC plastic processing technology now occupies an important field of small batch CNC precision machining and plastic parts manufacturing.

CNC plastic prototyping has become increasingly popular due to industrial grade polymers. This led to the invasion of the plastics industry, which is now unstoppable. The above is attributed to three reasons; plastic parts are cheap to produce, lightweight and durable. Also, plastic parts are cheap to manufacture as compared to metal parts.

Plastics can be machined by countless high-precision methods such as injection molding, printing or machining. However, CNC machining is well suited to making parts with complex geometries and smooth surfaces. Moreover, it achieves tight tolerances and can produce any specific surface finish in every detail.

Customized Low Volume CNC Machining

Currently, there is a definite trend taking over modern manufacturing areas. Problems with batch settings are decreasing every day. Therefore, the line between rapid prototyping and low-volume CNC machining is growing rapidly.

Why Choose Low Volume CNC Machining?

During the production of industries, there are many parts can't be mass produced by machines, as these parts are limited by the material, process, cost, quantity etc. In this way, we need some special processes to do low-volume or small-batch machining. Some of these processes might involved in manual processing. Generally, small batch production is realized by CNC, rapid mold and vacuum silicone mold etc. However, the low volume CNC machining is much faster compared with those machining methods. As long as the the computer code is correct and complied with right design, the accuracy of finished products will be very high, and the deviation will be very small. That's reason why we choose low-volume CNC machining.

The quantity of low-volume CNC machining could range from several pieces to hundreds pieces. Basically, it is processed by CNC directly. Low volume CNC machining methods generally including CNC turning, CNC milling and CNC lathe-milling machining etc. The representative industries are aviation, aerospace industry, automotive, robotic industry,  shipbuilding industry, construction machinery industry, machine tool industry, etc.

Low volume manufacturing service can save time and material costs for our customers, and it will also speed up the launches of products.
