Low Volume Injection Molding & Bridge Production
When your program is not yet at million-part volume, dedicated hardened-steel tooling is hard to justify. We run aluminum and soft tooling that delivers molded parts in days and bridge production up to 100k — so you validate in market before committing capital.
How We Keep Low Volume Affordable
The same engineering team and quality system as production — without the NRE of a hardened-steel program.
Bridge & Low-Volume Production
10 to 100k parts where dedicated high-volume tooling is not yet justified — bridge runs, pilot lots, and spare-part top-ups.
- Aluminum & soft tooling
- No six-figure NRE
- Weeks not months
- Easy design iteration
Rapid Tooling
Molded parts from a machined aluminum mold in days, so you validate form, fit and function before committing to hardened steel.
- 5–15 day tool turn
- Pre-hardened & aluminum
- Same resin as production
- DFM locked early
On-Demand Reorders
Reorder the exact same part on a pull basis — tooling stays on file and the process window is documented.
- Tooling retained
- Lot traceability
- Consistent process
- Short lead time
When Low-Volume Molding Beats CNC or 3D Printing
Cross the line where molding wins on unit cost, cosmetics, and material choice.
| Scenario | Best process | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 50 parts, ABS, cosmetic | Low-volume molding | Class-A surface, real resin |
| 500 parts, PA-GF, sealed | Low-volume molding | Insert/overmold in one shot |
| 5 parts, one-off fixture | CNC machining | Tooling not worth it |
| 10 parts, concept only | 3D printing | Fastest to hold in hand |
