Short series

Short-run manufacturing is a fundamental strategy for companies that require small volumes of parts without incurring the costs and time of mass production. It is an excellent option as an intermediate process between prototyping and mass production. This approach allows not only to validate designs and perform functional tests, but also to launch products to the market with greater flexibility and speed. At Gestión de Compras, we have a wide range of technologies and industrial processes that guarantee a balance between quality, efficiency and cost, offering our customers a solution tailored to their needs.

The choice of the right manufacturing process is crucial in the production of short series, as it determines the dimensional accuracy, the quality of the finish and the economic viability of the project. For this reason, we work with various technologies that allow efficient manufacturing without the need to invest in costly permanent tooling.

Depending on the type of part, the material and the final application, different manufacturing processes are used to optimize resources and guarantee a high quality product:

Vacuum Casting is a technique widely used in the manufacture of plastic short series. It allows the reproduction of parts with high fidelity in details and with mechanical properties similar to plastic injection, without the need for expensive steel molds. This technology is ideal for the manufacture of advanced prototypes and limited production runs of polyurethane housings, aesthetic components and functional parts.

Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) is a highly effective option when large parts with low weight and high mechanical strength are required. The possibility of combining polyurethanes with fiberglass reinforcements allows the manufacture of high-performance components used in the automotive and industrial machinery industries.

CNC machining is another key technology in the production of small series. Its versatility allows the manufacture of metal and plastic parts with high precision and without the need for expensive molding tools. It is ideal for high-tolerance mechanical components, custom structures and functional parts in sectors such as aerospace, electronics and industrial engineering.

For metal parts, Metal Forming and Die Casting processes provide optimal solutions when repeatable production with good structural properties is required. These processes enable the manufacture of components in aluminum, zamak and other alloys used in the automotive, electronics and consumer goods industries.
On the other hand, compression molding is the best option to produce parts in composite or thermoset materials. This process offers dimensional stability and mechanical strength in sectors such as the electrical industry and the manufacture of high-performance structural parts.
