Batch manufacturing.

Continuous production only makes sense when volume can justify the tooling investment. Below that threshold — for prototypes, bridge production, pilot runs, seasonal products, or long-tail spares — batch manufacturing gives you moulded parts at sensible unit cost without the tooling commitment.

The route depends on the batch size. A hundred parts a year is best served by compression moulding on a simple tool, or by casting for very small numbers. A few thousand a year justifies dedicated compression tooling with a modest cavity count. Ten thousand a year usually starts to make single-cavity LSR viable.

For customers scaling up from prototype to full production, batch is often the right first step. Prove the design at real volume without a continuous-production tool commitment; migrate to continuous once the volume forecast is confident.

For customers with a stable part they only need occasionally — a spare, a service part, a long-tail SKU — batch is often the right permanent answer. We hold the tool, run the batch when you order, and don't tie up your money in continuous scheduling.
