Mass Production (10,000+ pieces)
Production volumes via injection moulding, die casting and progressive stamping. Same engineering review and inspection as bridge production, scaled to the production run.
10,000+ pieces
PPAP and ISIR supported
Source inspection available
What Mass Production Does
The route that follows bridge production and supports a product through its entire commercial life.
Mass production is the lane for engineered volumes. Tooling is hardened steel, cycle times are tuned, and inspection is engineered to the part risk. The same engineering team that built the prototype and the bridge run supports the mass-production launch.
When to use it
Choose mass production for products in commercial release, regulatory submissions that require production-line data, spare parts that are still in service, and after-market replacements for systems that are in the field.
Routes Used
Each mass-production route is selected for the geometry, the material, and the cycle-time budget.
Injection Moulding
Production volumes of plastic parts, family tools and high-cavity moulds.
Die Casting
Aluminium and zinc parts for high-volume mechanical housings and structural components.
Progressive Stamping
Sheet-metal parts in continuous or batch runs for connectors, brackets and panels.
Engineering Support Carried Into Production
The tools are engineered, but the part still needs sign-off on every change.
PPAP and FAIR
Production Part Approval Process and First Article Inspection Report on demand.
ISIR
Initial Sample Inspection Report supported by CMM, optical and surface-finish data.
Source Inspection
On-site inspection at the production line before shipment.
Long-term agreements
Framework contracts with annual minimum quantities and release schedules.
Design Rules That Speed Hard-Tooling
- Keep wall thickness uniform to avoid sink marks and warped production parts.
- Add drafts of 1 to 2 degrees on every vertical face to keep cycle time short and tool life long.
- Standardise on resins that are stocked in the production region to keep lead time short.
- Specify the source inspection level on the drawing, not in the purchase order.
- Plan the line side actions for part changes; every revision needs a new PPAP.
What You Get Back
- Source-inspected shipments with line-side pictures.
- PPAP and ISIR documents on request.
- Spare-part reproductions from master tooling archived for the program life.
