Process selection
CNC machining, industrial FDM, or a combined approach is chosen from geometry, performance, quantity, and economics.
Repeatable parts without mass-production overhead
Low-Volume Production Manufacturing
Low-volume programs need more than a prototype process repeated several times. Stratum reviews quantity, revision control, inspection, material, packaging, and repeat-order needs to choose a practical production path for each component.
Common applications
Built for functional manufacturing requirements.
Every project is evaluated against the supplied geometry, application, material, quantity, critical features, and acceptance criteria.
- 01Pilot and pre-production runs
- 02Service and replacement-part batches
- 03Specialized equipment hardware
- 04Production fixtures and shop-floor tooling
- 05Low-demand product components
- 06Bridge production while dedicated tooling is developed
Engineering review
What shapes the manufacturing plan.
Useful quotes depend on the functional requirements behind the model. These factors are reviewed before a process is committed.
Revision control
Models, drawings, and agreed requirements should identify the production revision.
Consistency
Setup, material, orientation, and inspection planning are defined around repeatable functional output.
Future demand
Expected reorder frequency can influence tooling, documentation, and inventory decisions.
RFQ to delivery
A direct, technical workflow.
Metal and engineering-polymer options are available across the CNC and industrial additive processes. Specific grades and production suitability are confirmed per project.
Review material categories →- 01

Retain agreed part and process information for future RFQs.
Project questions
Before you send the RFQ.
What counts as low-volume production?+
There is no single quantity threshold. The appropriate process depends on part size, complexity, material, inspection, and the economics of the complete order.
Can you produce a prototype before the batch?+
Yes. A prototype or first-piece review can be included when it is appropriate to the project and agreed in the quote.
Can you support repeat orders?+
Yes. Stable CAD, drawings, materials, and acceptance requirements help support consistent repeat orders.
