Why Choose Low-Volume Manufacturing?
For engineers, product managers, and procurement teams, successful small-batch production depends on two key factors: reducing trial-and-error costs and ensuring a smooth transition to high-volume manufacturing. Our low-volume CNC manufacturing service( 50 – 1000+ Parts) addresses these needs, while providing good value, speed, and flexibility for your projects.
Fast Market Testing
Low-volume manufacturing is a good bridge tooling/production option for market testing, pre-launch validation, or pilot runs before investing in expensive high-volume molds. It allows you to test the real-world performance of your custom CNC parts, collect user feedback, and adjust your design, without the financial risk of full-scale tooling.
Cost-Effective with No Tooling Burden
Our low-volume CNC machining eliminates the high cost of hard tooling and molds, a common barrier to small-batch production. We start directly from your CAD files, with no costly tooling needed, so you can produce only the number of parts you require. This helps reduce upfront costs and avoids wasting budget on tooling for designs that may need changes, lowering overall trial-and-error costs.
Easy Iteration
Low-volume manufacturing offers design flexibility that allows for easy iterations. Unlike high-volume production, where mold modifications are costly and time-consuming, our small-batch CNC process lets you adjust designs easily between batches. Whether optimizing functionality, fixing small flaws, or adapting to user feedback, you can refine your custom parts with minimal cost and downtime, reducing the risk of costly design errors in full-scale production.
Our Low-Volume CNC Manufacturing Tolerances
We provide high-precision machining capable of holding tolerances down to ±0.005mm for critical features. This level of accuracy ensures that components strictly adhere to your dimensional specifications and assembly requirements.
| Category | Description |
| General Tolerances | Unless otherwise specified, standard tolerances for metals are ± 0.127 mm (± 0.005″) in accordance with ISO 2768-m. Tolerances for plastics and composites are generally ± 0.254 mm (± 0.010″) due to material properties. |
| Min Wall Thickness | Metals: 0.8 mm Plastics: 1.5 mm |
| Minimum Feature Size | 0.5 mm |
| Threads & Tapped Holes | M2 / #2-56 (Minimum) We can also machine custom threads. |
| Surface Finish | Unless post-processing is requested, parts are supplied with an as-machined surface of Ra 3.2 μm (125 μin). Visible tool marks may be present. |
| Edge Condition | Broken Edges (Deburred) |
| Maximum Part Size | CNC Milling: 4000×1500×600 mm; CNC Turning: 200×500 mm |
| Minimum Part Size | CNC Milling: 5×5×5 mm; CNC Turning: 2×2 mm |
Free Engineering Support & DFM
We don’t just machine; we verify. Every order includes a comprehensive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) review. We’ll flag sharp corners, deep pockets, or thin walls that might increase cost or risk, helping you optimize your design before cutting metal.
Bridge the Gap Between Concept and Production
Move from prototyping to low-volume production seamlessly. Because we use the same equipment for prototypes as we do for production runs, your transition will be smooth, with no surprises in quality or tolerance.
