Low volume manufacturing built to ramp, not just to ship one batch

Low volume manufacturing for hardware startups: injection molding, CNC machining and small batch production that ramps from 100 to 10,000 units.

Short answer

Low-volume manufacturing produces roughly 50 to 5,000 units without hard steel tooling, using urethane casting, aluminum bridge tooling, CNC machining and hand assembly. LA NPDT sets up the run, controls quality and keeps unit cost predictable while your product proves demand and earns the case for full production tooling.

We also run silicone rubber prototyping and manufacturing for cast, compression and LSR molded parts.

What founders say after working with us

“Konstantin has been so amazing and his entire team is A+. I researched and interviewed many product development companies across the country and ultimately decided on LA NPDT... and I'm so glad I did. The attention to detail and overall effort has been exactly what I needed and then some. If you are looking for a company to help you bring your product to life, look no further!”
William EvansWilliam EvansCEO, Burple
“This company is awesome. I run a medical device company and we required a number of accessories to be designed and built for our medical device. They delivered a polished design and printed the accessories on time using high-quality materials. I continue to work with them for all of our material needs.”
Matteo ZiffMatteo ZiffFounder, Virtual Vision
“Partnering with LA NPDT to bring LEIA to life was a game-changer. Their blend of market analysis, design expertise, prototyping, and manufacturing streamlined my vision into a tangible solution. For medical professionals with a product idea, there's no team I'd recommend more.”
Dr. Elena DolganDr. Elena DolganFounder, LEIA Cup

Three reasons founders keep working with us

  • 1

    One team from sketch to shipped parts. Industrial design, mechanical and electrical engineering, prototyping and manufacturing sit under one roof, so nothing is lost in a handoff.

  • 2

    You own the work. Native CAD, drawings and source files are yours at the end of every phase — no lock-in, no re-buying your own design later.

  • 3

    Fixed scope, fixed price. Every phase is quoted up front with a deliverable list and a date. No hourly meters, no surprise invoices.

    When an instant manufacturing quote is the wrong tool

    Online manufacturing marketplaces price the file you upload. They cannot tell you the file is wrong. Here is how to know which problem you have before you pay for parts.
