Batch & Bridge Production · Kitchener–Waterloo

Ongoing part supply, handled.

Saved print profiles, per-batch QC, and volume pricing for repeatable small-batch and bridge production — the scalable lane between prototype and full injection tooling. It runs quietly in the background so your supply keeps flowing.

Between prototype and tooling

Production volumes without the tooling bill.

When you need parts repeatedly but injection-mould tooling isn't justified yet, batch and bridge production fills the gap — saved profiles for consistency, per-batch QC, and volume pricing that improves as you scale. Ideal for launches, spare parts, seasonal demand, and bridging the wait for tooling.

Volume pricing

Unit cost drops as you scale.

Illustrative tiers — exact pricing depends on part size, material and finish.

How it works

Set it up once — then it just repeats.

□

1. Lock the profile

Material, settings and finish finalised and saved as your production profile.

⚙

2. Run the batch

Parts produced across the farm to a consistent standard.

✓

3. QC & pack

Each batch checked against spec, then packed for delivery.

↻

4. Reorder

Repeat in a click — no re-setup, predictable lead times.

Production partner

What you get when we run your parts on repeat.

One-off orders and a standing production programme are different relationships. Once a part is approved and the volumes are steady, the way we quote, schedule and check it changes with them.

↓

Pricing set against volume

Per-part cost is worked out from your annual quantity and run size, not re-quoted from zero every order. The rate improves as the programme grows rather than after you ask.

⏱

Scheduled production slots

Your runs are booked into the calendar ahead of time, so lead time becomes something you plan around instead of something you find out when you order.

▣

No inventory sitting still

Call off what you need, when you need it. No minimum to hit, and no capital tied up in a shelf of parts that might not move this quarter.

●

One person on your account

The same engineer who knows the part, its tolerances, and why it was changed last time — not a queue and a ticket number.

✓

Locked, repeatable process

Machine, material, orientation and settings are recorded on the first approved run and reused on every one after, so batch fifty matches batch one.

◎

Inspected every batch

Critical dimensions checked against your drawing on each run, with the results kept on file — so a question about a shipment has an answer.

Common questions

Batch production, answered.

What quantities make sense for batch production?
Anywhere from tens to thousands of parts. If injection tooling isn't justified yet, batch and bridge production gives you production volumes without the tooling cost.
How consistent are the parts batch to batch?
Very — we save your production profile (material, settings, finish) so every run matches, and each batch passes QC against your spec.
How does pricing work at volume?
Unit cost drops as quantities grow, with tiers applied automatically. Exact pricing depends on part size, material and finish — contact us to set up a run.
What is bridge production?
Bridge production keeps your parts in supply while injection-mould tooling is being designed and built — so a launch or program doesn't stall waiting on tooling.
Can you hold a profile for repeat orders?
Yes — that's the point. Once set up, reorders are fast and predictable with no re-setup.
The next rung

And when the volumes outgrow printing?

Bridge production is the step before tooling, not a dead end. When your numbers justify an injection tool, we re-engineer the part for moulding, write the spec the shops quote against, and stay on it through first article approval — while we keep printing your parts so supply never stops.
