Low-Volume Manufacturing Service

Formioo offers low-volume manufacturing services for custom plastic and metal parts across prototyping and bridge production stages. Prototype design can be completed in as little as two days.

One-stop Solution Provider for All Your Low-Volume Part Production

Formioo is a professional injection molding manufacturer in China, providing low-volume manufacturing services for custom plastic parts with high precision and fast turnaround. Equipped with in-house mold fabrication, rapid tooling systems, and a full fleet of injection molding machines, we are capable of producing low to mid-volume parts, typically from 50 to 5,000 units, while maintaining tight tolerances and consistent quality.

Our low-volume injection molding service is ideal for prototyping, bridge production, and early-stage product launches. We help customers shorten development cycles, reduce tooling investment, and iterate designs quickly. From DFM analysis and material selection to surface finishing and secondary machining, our team offers full technical support to ensure your parts meet both functional and cosmetic requirements, without the cost burden of mass production.

Formioo produces thousands of low-volume molded components each month, supporting clients in automotive, medical, consumer electronics, aerospace, industrial equipment, and product development sectors. Whether you’re validating a new design or fulfilling limited production runs, we provide flexible capacity, fast lead times, and stable supply tailored to your needs.

Our Low-Volume Manufacturing Capabilities

Formioo offers flexible low-volume manufacturing solutions by combining injection molding, CNC machining, 3D printing, and rapid tooling. These technologies allow us to produce high-quality parts in quantities ranging from a few dozen to several thousand, ideal for prototyping, bridge production, and pre-market testing. We work with a wide selection of thermoplastics such as ABS, PC, PP, PA, PBT, and high-performance materials like PEEK and PPS, as well as aluminum and engineering-grade resins for hybrid processes.

 

To meet both visual and functional standards, we provide various surface finishing options, including polishing, texturing, painting, silk screen printing, pad printing, laser marking, and vapor smoothing. Depending on the process and material, we can achieve dimensional tolerances of ±0.05 mm for injection molded parts and up to ±0.01 mm for CNC-machined features. All parts undergo quality inspection using CMMs, digital calipers, and visual checks to ensure repeatability and consistency across small batches.
