It&#;s also worth bearing in mind that large-scale production demands a significant level of inventory in materials and equipment. So manufacturers are likely to insist on larger minimum order quantities. This isn&#;t the case when working with low-volume manufacturing specialists such as Bluefrog &#; who can execute orders, using state-of-the-art processes like high-speed CNC machining and tooling, RIM and Vacuum casting, 3D printing and laser cutting of polymers and metals, much faster and with much less up-front investment.

For instance, our product design agency, designed, developed and manufacture a specialist power tool for Carto Strip. The Carto Strip is used for removing waste from die cut sheets of solid carton board and corrugated fibreboard and replaces the time-consuming process of manual stripping. The machine is ergonomically designed for safety and comfort allowing users to reduce stripping time by 85% in comparison to traditional practices.
As the project moved from design to production Bluefrog Design utilised in-house digital manufacturing technologies &#; including 3D printing, CNC machining and laser cutting &#; to produce extremely rugged parts manufactured in low volume batches of 20 with a yearly forecast of 80 units. With all the assembly and testing carried out by Bluefrog Design, Carto Strip are able to offer a high-value product cost-effectively to market with minimal tooling, meeting the robust demands of the carton industry.

Changes in technology continue at an eye-watering speed, putting industrial designers and developers under constant demands to innovate fast enough to bring a product to market before the competition. After all, this can be the key factor in enjoying a successful launch. Low-volume manufacturing produces the perfect way to make enough sellable stock without creating the disadvantage of a massive inventory. Optimised supply chains also ensure parts are ready very quickly, which means a genuinely expedited route to market.
But low-volume manufacturing isn&#;t the end of the story. It&#;s actually the ideal means to steadily build up to full-scale production. Indeed, the process is often known as &#;bridge manufacturing&#; for that very reason. As volumes increase, the best manufacturing practises can be identified and streamlined, saving money, improving quality and minimising risk without compromising success.
