Manufacturing Plastic Parts in Small Series
The ideal Solution between Prototype and Series Production
Small-batch production of plastic parts is the perfect step when products need to be market-oriented, functional, and economical—without the high investment costs of large-scale production.
1zu1scale supports companies in manufacturing plastic parts in small batches quickly, precisely, and close to series production.
Whether for initial market launches, pilot series, functional tests, or individual product variants: our small-batch plastic parts combine quality, flexibility, and planning reliability.
Our Services for small-batch Plastic Parts
We manufacture small batches of plastic parts using a variety of technologies – always tailored to the quantity, geometry, and target application:
- Injection molding for small batches (aluminum or steel tools)
- Vacuum casting for high-quality small batches with excellent surface finish
- 3D printing (SLS, MJF, etc.) for functional small series without tooling costs
- Material diversity: engineering plastics, flexible or robust materials
- Finishing & assembly: painting, printing, assembly from a single source
This allows plastic parts to be manufactured in small series that meet the functional, visual, and mechanical requirements of later series production.
Why manufacture Plastic Parts in small Series?
Small-series plastic production offers decisive advantages:
- Low initial investment compared to large-scale series production
- High flexibility for design changes
- Rapid availability for market tests or pilot projects
- Near-series quality for realistic functional and stress tests
- Scalability from small series to series production
Small series plastic parts are the most economically viable solution, especially for new products, applications with many variants, or uncertain sales volumes.
Typical Areas of Application for small Series Plastic Parts
- Pilot and pre-series
- Market launches and product validation
- Medical technology, industry, consumer goods
- Spare parts and post-series
- Individualized or customer-specific plastic parts

FAQ – Small Series of Plastic Parts
The manufacture of plastic parts in small quantities – typically between a few parts and several thousand pieces.
Depending on the requirements: injection molding, vacuum casting, or industrial 3D printing.
Yes. Materials, tolerances, and surfaces can be very close to the later series.
Even from just a few parts – depending on the process, component geometry, and target application.
Yes. The small series often serves as a bridge or preparation for series production.
