Read on to learn how to get to market faster step-by-step, then explore why we’re the team best equipped for the job.
What Do Fast Manufacturing Services Consist Of?
The speed of a fabrication facility’s processes from start to finish, paired with their ability to handle high volumes of product without delay, will ensure you get the fast manufacturing services you demand.
Fast manufacturing services differ between metal fabrication shops because achieving tight manufacturing timelines is dependent on what each shop is capable of. Some shops may be able to provide one service in a tighter timeline, such as rapid prototyping, but the other services within your project won’t be designed for maximum efficiency. As you consider the best partner, pay attention to what services they offer and what their rapid capabilities are from start to finish.
Fast manufacturing services like rapid prototyping kick off your project needs and can save you from being stuck waiting weeks to receive design guidance and prototypes. Rapid manufacturing capabilities can keep your project pushing forward. If your chosen partner offers secondary services in-house, this can further accelerate your production process.
Even if a shop has rapid capabilities, its processes will be slowed down if they’re unable to handle the volume of products you need. Metal Works has large enough teams and facility spaces, in addition to industry-leading machinery, to complete high-volume orders in shortened time frames.
How to Get to Market Faster with Fast Manufacturing Services
Want to get to market faster without compromising the quality of your project? Follow these key steps.
1. Choose the Right Partner
Getting to market in tight timelines requires the support of a skilled fabrication partner committed to efficiency. If you need a high volume of parts, make sure you choose a partner who can handle that. At Metal Works, we can serve our customers for orders large and small. If you need high volumes of products created quickly, our expansive facility and expert team are always up for the challenge.
2. Design Smarter
Kick off your project with a Design for Manufacturability mindset to shave off time from the start and find the best way to produce your parts in the fastest timelines without sacrificing the qualities you need them to have for your end user. At Metal Works, we take a proactive approach to the design process, using our expertise and advanced tooling to catch flaws in the design before your part is produced. This helps us avoid costly mistakes and enjoy a streamlined production process with better-quality finished parts.
3. Choose Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping can get a version of your part in your hands within days instead of weeks and months, helping you finalize it faster. Without rapid prototyping, your project may stall in the first step, especially if you need multiple revisions to your prototype before moving on to production. At Metal Works, we deliver high-quality prototypes to our customers in as little as one to three days. We know time is of the essence, and our fast turnaround ensures your project keeps moving forward so you can get to market faster.
4. Leverage Automation
Automation is a powerful asset for your fast manufacturing needs because it ensures efficiency and accuracy stay high. With automation tools, production can carry on for your project at all hours. At Metal Works, we use automation in our fabrication processes so our customers can enjoy a faster production timeline with fewer errors and a better-quality finished product.
5. Take Advantage of In-House Secondary Services
If fabrication isn’t the last step for your needs, take advantage of in-house secondary services like assembly, metal finishing, or even inventory management to keep your production time and costs lower. At Metal Works, we strive to deliver start-to-finish support. Whether you need assembly, metal finishing, inventory management, or more, we’re here to provide it. Our in-house secondary services allow you to finish your project under one roof and accelerate your journey to market.
