Small Batches

Small batch prototyping bridges the gap between one-off prototypes and full-scale production, offering manufacturers an efficient way to test, validate, and launch new products. It involves producing limited runs of functional parts—often in quantities from a few units up to several hundred—using methods such as CNC machining, vacuum casting, 3D printing, or low-volume injection molding.

This approach is ideal for companies that need cost-effective short runs without the heavy investment in large-scale tooling. By producing small batches, businesses can evaluate real-world functionality, refine designs, and respond quickly to market feedback before committing to mass manufacturing.
