1. Cost efficiency
Small-batch production must be cost-effective. With our experience and state-of-the-art machinery, we can speed up your small-batch production and thus contribute to cost efficiency.
2. Production quality
Even for small-batch production, we can utilize processes such as two-component injection molding or insert molding. This ensures the highest quality in small-batch manufacturing.
3. Flexibility in manufacturing
We can plan for flexibility in production to accommodate the various applications of your plastic parts. We can accommodate this even for small batches in series production and continually adapt to your injection molding needs.
4. Complete process chain
We are not just your small-batch manufacturer; we handle the entire process of producing your injection-molded parts. This greatly facilitates communication and collaboration between us.
5. Industry-agnostic
Whether in the automotive, medical, or electrical engineering sectors, our machines and equipment are used by companies across a wide range of industries. This allows us to guarantee the highest quality in small-batch production for your industry as well.
At what order quantities does mass production become cost-effective at plastium?
We recommend that our customers opt for production starting with small to medium-sized runs, where tooling costs are spread across the total quantity. The specific materials and properties you require, as well as the size and complexity of the parts, determine the minimum quantity at which series production of your components becomes cost-effective—we would be happy to provide you with a no-obligation quote.
What factors should I consider when choosing materials for my mass-produced product?
Numerous factors related to the product being manufactured—such as hardness, load-bearing capacity, weight, conductivity, biocompatibility, or fire safety requirements—are incorporated into the final product and thus also affect tooling costs. As specialists in this field, we are happy to familiarize you with the latest innovations in the industry, which could become viable options for your current project.
What exactly does the rapid tooling process entail?
Small-batch production can significantly reduce production times through the use of rapid tooling processes. With this method, mold inserts and injection molds are manufactured much more quickly, allowing for the timely production of prototypes and pre-production runs. Plastium is here to support you in this process, helping you further increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Is 3d printing a useful addition to mass production?
With our high-performance 3D printing, you can quickly hold physical models in your hands that serve as the basis for your small-batch production. Using 3D printing, you can verify the basic requirements for your future plastic parts. For your pre-production and pilot runs, however, the transition from 3D printing to full-scale plastic injection molding is essential.
What does sustainable plastic production look like?
The combination of environmental and economic considerations is crucial for sustainable product development in the plastics industry. Sustainable plastics production can be promoted through the use of natural refrigerants in refrigeration technology. At Plastium, we use modern technologies and approaches to align with our customers’ sustainability goals.
