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.

Use Low-Volume Production to:
  • Ship products when production tooling is delayed
  • Produce high quality products in limited quantities
  • Accelerate the delivery of product revisions
  • Produce customized products

  • 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.
  • Prototypes
    PolyJet™ & SLA® provide accurate concept models and master patterns in record time. Complete in-house finishing capability for production-like prototypes.
  • SLS & DMLS
    SLS® produces rugged Nylon 11 and Nylon 12 prototype and production parts. DMLS utilizes metal and alloy materials to create strong metal parts without tooling.
  • 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.
  • 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
    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.
