What it actually costs
Tooling runs $5,000–50,000 depending on part complexity and material. First production runs cost $5,000–150,000+ depending on volume and process. We support low-volume runs (50–500 units) up through high-volume production.
Our Manufacturing Process
Production Readiness Review
We audit the validated prototype and engineering documentation to confirm everything is production-ready before committing to tooling or supplier contracts.
Supplier & Tooling Setup
We qualify manufacturing partners based on your volume, material, and tolerance requirements, then manage tooling through first article inspection (FAI).
Production Run & QC
Full production with in-process quality checks at defined intervals — we catch issues before they become batches.
Final Inspection & Delivery
100% or sampling-based final inspection depending on volume and criticality. Product is packaged and shipped to your location or fulfillment partner.
