Low-Volume Production

Low Volume Production parts enable manufacturers to bring products to market without the time and expense of production tooling. In many specialized industries such as aerospace and medical equipment, annual production volume does not justify the expense of production tooling. Low Volume Production parts from Solid Concepts allow manufacturers to ship products earlier and to produce high-quality products at a lower overall cost. With Low Volume Production parts, design modification can be incorporated at a fraction of the time and cost associated with changing production tooling.

Solid Concepts produces Low Volume Production parts using SLS, CNC, and Cast Urethane technologies, depending on the specific requirements. Low Volume Production parts can be produced in as little as five working days.

Solid Concepts' customers use Low Volume Production parts to:

• Ship products when production tooling is delayed
• Produce high quality products in limited quantities
• Accelerate the delivery of product revisions
• Produce customized products

Low Volume Production parts are an ideal production solution for many specialized industries

• SolidView
  SolidView® software allows you to view, rotate, measure and communicate design intent with non-CAD users—starting with our free 3D CAD viewer—SolidView/Lite.
• SLA & PolyJet
  SLA® & PolyJet™ provide accurate concept models and master patterns in record time. Complete in-house finishing capability for production-like prototypes.
• SLS
  SLS® (selective laser sintering) produces rugged Nylon 11 and Nylon 12 prototype and production parts and is ideally suited for Direct Digital Manufacturing.
• FDM
  FDM (fused deposition modeling) produces both prototype and production parts from ABS plastic, polycarbonate, and Ultem materials.
• CNC
  CNC prototypes, parts and master patterns are ideal in applications where the material property or size requirements make other prototyping techniques unsuitable.
• Cast Urethane
  Cast Urethane (a proprietary advanced casting technology and advanced formula polymers) produce strong pre-production and short-run production components.
• Composites
  Composites (fiber reinforced plastic) technology produces large, rigid, accurate panels with excellent strength-to-weight ratio and surface finish. Chose between CompositeCast™, Hand Lay-up FRP and VARTM.
• Tooling
  Tooling from Solid Concepts provides quick-turn tooling options for Chinese tooling & production, export tooling from China, and domestic tooling, all with domestic project management.
• Molding
  Injection Molding from Solid Concepts brings you the best of both worlds by providing Chinese pricing and lead times along with Solid Concepts quality and domestic project management.
