What is Low-Volume Manufacturing
In order to decide whether a low-volume manufacturing service is right for your production needs, it is important to first understand exactly what low-volume manufacturing is. At the surface, the term is relatively self-explanatory.
Low-volume manufacturing is a specialised service that offers mass-production quality parts in a small volume, generally limited to 100,000 parts or fewer – depending on the manufacturing technique used.
Although mass production is still the best choice for high-volume needs, low-volume manufacturing has become increasingly popular across a number of industries.
It is relatively easy to understand the basic definition low-volume manufacturing, but what are the benefits of this service? Let us explore this question deeper in the following section.

No matter if it is a Low or High Volume Production, Galaxy3DM solution that can meet needs is a good solution.....
3 Types of Manufacturing - Additive, Subtractive, and Forming
ADDITIVE Manufacturing
SUBSTRACTIVE MANUFACTURING
ADDTIVE&Subtractive Hybrid PROCESS
Forming&CASTING
Manufacturing
ADDITIVE VS SUBTRACTIVE MANUFACTURING: Two Sides of the Same Coin
SUBSTRACTIVE MANUFACTURING
| PROCESS | MATERIALS |
|---|---|
| CNC machining (turning, drilling, boring, milling, reaming) | Hard thermoplastics, thermoset plastics, soft metals, hard metals (industrial machines) |
| Electrical discharge machining (EDM) | Hard metals |
| Laser cutting | Thermoplastics, wood, acrylic, fabrics, metals (industrial machines) |
| Water jet cutting | Plastics, hard and soft metals, stone, glass, composites |
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
| PROCESS | MATERIALS |
|---|---|
| Stereolithography (SLA) | Varieties of resin (thermoset plastics), high-strength, rigid, flexible, elastic, heat-resistant, castable (wax-like) |
| Selective laser sintering (SLS) | Engineering thermoplastics, such as nylon |
| Fused deposition modeling (FDM) | Standard thermoplastics, such as ABS, PLA, and their various blends |
| Material jetting | Varieties of resin (thermosetting plastics) |
| Binder jetting | Gypsum (full color), metals |
| SLM or DML | Soft and hard metals |
| EBM | Soft and hard metals |
LOW VOLUME MANUFACTURING
For Example,VCM, RIM,LSR,RTM,CNC,SMC,Sheet Metal,ALU Tooling
Advantages:
- Reduce cost with no minimum orders, less expensive tooling
- Provide rapid access to emerging markets
- Allow for faster design changes and more design flexibility
- Shorten production lead times
- Provides a bridge between initial prototypes and high-volume production
HIGH VOLUME MANUFACTURING
For example, Injection Molding, DIE Casting, CNC
Advantages:
- Produces more parts at a faster pace
- Reduce unit costs and cycle time for the manufacturer
- Accurate and consistent, high-quality mass production of parts
- Production can often be automated with solid, reliable machinery, even during non-work hours
- Minimal post-production work
-
Advantages of Low Volume Manufacturing Applications
- Low Volume Manufacturing can save time and money.
- Experience projects on a physical level very early.
- Communicate projects effectively, because it helps clients and partners to visualise.
- Minimises first investments for one-time production.
- Marketing can start before mass production.
- Strengthen Design Flexibility,Building a Bridge, Beating the Competition
-
Important Factors using Low Volume Manufacturing
- In case of low production quantity, costs per unit might be higher than using conventional methods.
- Some applications cannot be realized with the original material.
- Low-Volume Manufacturing might reveal many hidden problems before the production starts.
