Production manufacturing services
Scale custom metal and plastic parts with a partner network built for injection molding, die casting, stamping, CNC, 3D printing, and more—from first article to high-volume runs.
- Fast, competitive production — many processes quote in days with clear lead-time options.
- Network capacity for volume — match demand spikes and long-running programs without locking into a single shop prematurely.
- Quality & compliance ready — align on certifications, inspection, and traceability as your program requires.

Production manufacturing at your fingertips
Artemis 3D helps you scale custom parts with a single workflow: upload CAD, compare options, and engage qualified suppliers for production runs. Whether you need hundreds of parts or a multi-year program, you can align on process, material, tolerances, inspection, and logistics—without juggling dozens of vendor portals.
Production programs often benefit from DFM feedback, cost optimization, quality planning (including PPAP-style controls where applicable), and traceability for materials and lots. Share your requirements when you request a quote so we can route you to the right capabilities.
From a single part to large annual volumes, the platform is designed to support staged scale: prototype, bridge, and full production.
The Artemis 3D difference
Strong production outcomes depend on clear communication from quote through shipping. We emphasize proactive project coordination—DFM notes, manufacturing suggestions, milestone updates, and risk management when schedules or specifications change.
A connected supplier network can improve resilience and capacity when demand shifts or you need redundant sources. Your team stays focused on design and market fit; manufacturing partners execute on your agreed scope.
How production works on Artemis 3D
Start with an instant quote path, refine scope with your supplier, then lock production details—lead time, quantities, inspection, and shipping. Explore capabilities across processes without leaving the platform.
Upload files & request a quotePre-production & rapid prototyping
Most production programs start with prototypes: validate fit, finish, and function before you invest in hard tooling. Additive processes, CNC, sheet metal, and prototype molding can all feed production decisions.
Plastic 3D printing
Prototypes and bridge quantities in thermoplastics—ideal for fast iteration before tooling.
Start a quote →Custom metal 3D printing
DMLS and metal binder jetting for complex metal geometries without traditional tooling.
Start a quote →Laser & sheet cutting
Flat patterns and nested blanks—fast quotes for laser, waterjet, and related cutting processes.
Start a quote →Prototype injection molding
Production-like plastics and geometries before you scale to full cavitation tooling.
Get an estimate →Low-volume production
Bridge the gap between prototype and mass production: pilot builds, market tests, and flexible demand without committing to million-part tooling. CNC, sheet metal, urethane casting, and additive are common choices for low-to-mid volumes with quick design changes.
Custom CNC machining
Milled and turned metals and plastics with production-grade materials and tolerances.
Start a quote →Sheet metal fabrication
Formed, welded, and finished enclosures and brackets in steel, aluminum, and stainless.
Get a quote →Laser tube cutting
Precision tube and profile cutting for frames, handles, and structural assemblies.
Get a quote →Urethane & silicone casting
Durable, low-volume parts from silicone or urethane tooling—great for market testing.
Start a quote →High-volume production
When you are ready for full-scale output, injection molding, die casting, stamping, and extrusion deliver repeatable parts at scale. Tooling investments and cycle times vary by process—your quote package should reflect annual volume, cavitation, and quality tier.
Production molding
High-cavitation tooling and mass production runs for plastics and similar processes.
Start a quote →Die casting
Aluminum, zinc, and magnesium castings for structural and thermal applications.
Get a die casting quote →Metal stamping
Progressive and transfer tooling from short runs through high-volume programs.
Get a stamping quote →Metal extrusion
Profiles and continuous forms in aluminum and other metals for long-run demand.

The same part can often be made in more than one way. Use the matrix below as a starting point—then validate with quotes, DFM, and material requirements for your industry (medical, aerospace, automotive, etc.).
| Final production process | Typical annual capacity (indicative) | Scalability | Often validate first with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plastic injection molding | 500 – 1,000,000+ parts / yr (typical ranges vary by tool & part) | Mid – very high | 3D printing, prototype molding, urethane casting |
| Metal injection molding (MIM) | 2,000 – 1,000,000 parts / yr | Mid – very high | CNC machining, metal 3D printing |
| Metal casting (die, investment, etc.) | 500 – 1,000,000 parts / yr | Mid – very high | CNC machining, metal 3D printing |
| Metal stamping | 500 – 1,000,000+ parts / yr | Mid – very high | Sheet metal fabrication, laser / sheet cutting |
| CNC machining | 1 – 100,000 parts / yr | Low – high | CNC prototyping & bridge runs |
| Additive / 3D printing | 1 – 10,000 parts / yr | Low – mid | Same process at prototype quantities |
Ranges are typical industry bands; actual capacity depends on part size, tooling, and supplier. Always confirm in your quote package.
Repeat orders & same-supplier continuity
Production programs often need repeat releases, revisions, and lot traceability. When you work through Artemis 3D, document revision levels, inspection criteria, and supplier preferences up front so repeat orders stay predictable.
Same-supplier continuity is not always guaranteed—capacity and scheduling change—but we aim to support stable partnerships when both sides agree. Engineering changes should be captured with clear part history and approval paths.
