Manufacturing Services
Molded offers two manufacturing services – rapid manufacturing is best suited in case part quantities stay low and is often associated with prototyping, on-demand manufacturing is a good fit when your product design requires more degrees of freedom or special types of materials.
Besides differences between two services provided, there are also important similarities:
Fast turn-around times in all active markets
Provided services cover your complete product cycle
All capabilities are in-house with highest quality standards
Rapid manufacturing
This service is ideal when rapid development in short period of time is crucial and part quantities stay low
Rapid prototyping
As fast as commercial-grade 3D printing with higher precision, more repeatability, and more scalability
Validate your prototypes with production-grade materials
Reduce financial risk before investing in high-volume tooling
Quality
Automated design analysis enables product optimization before manufacturing even begins
Simulation and flow analysis for risk mitigation guaranteeing high product quality
Inspection reports available on request
Materials & geometries
With this service we support only a selective set of materials and more strict geometries than the on-demand service in order to guarantee turnaround times
Medical and food grade materials are supported with this service
Complete list of supported materials, grades, geometries and finishes can be found here.
On-demand manufacturing is ideal if part quantities tend to get higher, lower price per part is important and fast replenishment during entire product cycle is a must
On-demand manufacturing
Maximum shot guarantee
Supply chain
Mitigate risk of global shipping delays by having on-demand supply within 3 days
Prevent back-orders in case of demand volatility; procure parts on-demand
Reduce inventory costs and other logistical expenses with a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) of 250 pieces
Engineering
Our engineers are involved at an early stage to advise on material selection and product design
Ensure manufacturability, mitigate risks before investments, and reduce price per part
Combine on-demand manufacturing with any of our engineering services
Materials & geometries
On-demand service supports the use of high-performance thermoplastics, which are ideal for replacement of metal or other CNC machined products
