The challenge: High tooling costs for small production runs <\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n

Maico Nordic<\/a> faced a classic challenge in small-batch production: the customer wanted a special version of an existing component, but the existing injection moulding tool could not be modified. A new tool would cost EUR 34,000, and with a production need of only 500 units, it was neither financially nor time-wise sustainable to proceed with traditional manufacturing.<\/a> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n
