What processing methods are available for different quantities of batch orders?

The batch machining of the parts actually has the small batch processing and the large batch processing, the processing methods used in the different machining quantity is also not consistent.

Small batch processing will directly select CNC processing technology such as lathe, milling machine, planer and grinder according to the design characteristics of the parts themselves. The simple process is blanking - programming - machining - punching/tapping/grinding – post processing. CNC Machining small batch parts has a greater efficiency and delivery advantages, which can be rapid response.

Large quantities of parts processing may choose rapid mold, injection molding, die casting mold, cold stamping mold and metal mold, which also need to decide which mold to make according to the material and performance of the parts themselves. The advantage of making one mold is obvious price due to large quantity.

But which quantity segment belongs to small batch processing or large batch processing, most parts processing factories are difficult to define clearly, and many times customers will be based on the high and low cost to determine the final use of which processing technology.
