Alternative to injection molding
Injection molding is powerful at scale, but tooling, sampling and inventory can be the wrong economics for early products, niche components and spare parts.
FDM batch production
3D print batch production for technical plastic parts
When you need 10, 50, 100 or 500 plastic parts, injection molding can be too expensive and too slow. We manufacture functional FDM parts with repeatable process control and engineering materials.
Manufacturing without tooling
When does FDM batch production fit?
FDM is especially useful when the design may change, the volume is too low for tooling, or the part is needed quickly.
- Small and mid-size production runs.
- No injection mold investment.
- Easy iteration between batches.
- Article ID for repeat orders.

- Swedish production for European customers.
Repeatability
Once a part is approved, we can save material, print orientation and production data for more consistent re-ordering.
Design for FDM
We review CAD before production and suggest changes when they can improve strength, cost or lead time.
Common questions
Answers that move the project forward
What volumes fit FDM batch production?
Often 10-500 parts, depending on size, material and requirements.
Can you replace injection molded parts?
Sometimes, especially for lower volumes, spare parts and functional production aids.
Which files do you need?
STEP is best for review. STL works for printing. PDF drawings help with tolerances.
