There is a lot that goes into launching a product, you need a specialized team that will handle all the tasks and activities from start to finish. But, if you are a beginner or novice and are planning to launch the first product, you’ll notice how expensive the injection molding procedure is.
For those who opt to work with an integrated company, the overall budget cost will significantly increase as you will have to settle with a specialized firm that will handle the entire operation from design to final production.
The total cost and expense that goes into the entire production process will raise these questions: Is 3D printed model essential? is the CAD model really necessary? To answer every little question that you may have, we are going to look at the derived benefits that you should expect from the incorporation of low-volume production into the manufacturing process.
Delivery of a high-quality product
Through casting of prototype molds, will enable you to pinpoint any design flaws or defects in the original design. This will enable you to come up with solutions before the rolling-out of mass production.
With the creation of the prototype, designers and engineers will be able to run a series of test which will enable you to get better results thus significantly reducing the time spent troubleshooting. During the prototype design phase, you’ll be able to select the right material to be used in the production process.
Saving a lot of money used in production
During low-volume manufacturing, you will get a new outlook of the whole production process allowing you to rethink the entire manufacturing strategy with new resins and materials that have been tested and proven to be durable.
Every stage of low volume manufacturing has to go through testing and approval thus minimizing wastage.

Improving your market techniques and strategy
After all the test runs have been done on your end-product, as a manufacturer you will be able to now market your product. Having a working prototype on hand, your marketing department can begin to advertise your product to a specific target base by following the approach that is best suited to your goals and objectives thus boosting the overall success of your project.
Taking your business to the next level by poling in investors
Let me let you in on a little secret, nothing makes a big impact on investors than having a working prototype. During the early phases of development, thanks to low-volume manufacturing; you now can create a working prototype that resembles the final product which enables you to pull in more investors who will finance your entire project.
Securing the necessary finances will enable you to increase your production capacity taking you to a whole new level. Keep in mind that in an open market, those who take more risks will reap huge rewards.
