Low Volume Tooling

Low volume tooling refers to the process of creating tooling or molds for the production of a relatively small number of parts or components. This is in contrast to high volume tooling, which is used for the mass production of large quantities of parts.

Low volume tooling is often used in situations where the cost of high volume tooling is prohibitive, or where the production volume is not high enough to justify the cost of high volume tooling. Low volume tooling can also be used to quickly produce small quantities of parts for prototyping or testing purposes.

What Is Low-Volume Manufacturing

Low-volume manufacturing refers to the production of a relatively small number of products or parts, typically between 50 and 10,000 units, using traditional manufacturing processes such as injection molding, CNC machining, or casting. It is an ideal solution for companies that need to produce small quantities of products, prototypes, or components for testing, marketing, or initial production runs.

Compared to high-volume manufacturing, which is used to produce millions of products at a low cost per unit, low-volume manufacturing is more flexible and can quickly adapt to changes in design or product specifications. It is also more cost-effective than high-volume production for small runs, as it avoids the high tooling and setup costs associated with large-scale production.
