Manufacturing process
Our Processes for Your Mass Production
FACTUREE offers state-of-the-art technologies for your mass production: CNC machining, additive manufacturing, casting, and sheet metal fabrication. Depending on your requirements for material, geometry, and quantity, FACTUREE selects the appropriate process for your mass production.
CNC Mass Production
FACTUREE uses CNC machining for industrial mass production. This ensures that components in a wide range of batch sizes achieve the same level of precision. They also retain the necessary mechanical strength. Using CNC milling and CNC turning, FACTUREE manufactures production parts directly from metal or plastic. These production parts have consistent material properties across the entire production run. Certified partners with experience in aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium can handle even large batch sizes without any fluctuations in quality. This makes CNC machining ideal for production parts where fit and strength must remain consistent across batches.
Additive Manufacturing in Series Production
FACTUREE uses additive series production via 3D printing when components are needed in recurring batch sizes without tooling costs. Processes such as SLA, SLS, FDM, and SLM manufacture series parts directly from CAD data. The results are always reproducible across every subsequent order.
Series production using 3D printing is particularly well-suited for complex geometries and components that allow for a high degree of design freedom—cases where a traditional mold would not be cost-effective. FACTUREE works with you to select the appropriate additive manufacturing process based on the material and batch size.
Casting Processes for Mass Production
FACTUREE uses casting processes such as die casting and injection molding for mass production when components are needed in large quantities with consistent quality. Mass-production molds enable cost-effective large-scale production of technical plastics and metals with tight tolerances.
FACTUREE takes a forward-looking approach to tooling design and mold manufacturing. This allows customers to scale seamlessly from initial small-batch production to mass production without having to change the tool.
Mass Production of Sheet Metal
FACTUREE manufactures sheet metal parts in series production when housings, brackets, or thin-walled assemblies are needed in large quantities. Through laser cutting, bending, and welding, sheet metal parts are produced directly from CAD data, with consistent quality across any batch size.
FACTUREE supplies mass-produced sheet metal parts through its partner network, working closely with partners to ensure the right material, thickness, and surface finish. Quality remains consistently high, from small-batch to large-scale production.

User report
CERN: From Small-Scale Production to Mass Production
CERN develops high-precision components for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). To upgrade the beam guidance systems, the research team needed stainless steel and copper vacuum components with tight tolerances.
Through FACTUREE, CERN had the CNC components manufactured in small batches to test various manufacturing processes in parallel before the final specifications were finalized. Thanks to a network of over 2,000 certified partners, CERN was able to quickly access machining specialists with experience in the vacuum sector and keep its own workshop capacity available for other research projects.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Mass Production at FACTUREE
Modern mass production at FACTUREE draws on cutting-edge industrial expertise and standardized processes. This ensures high productivity and consistent quality in the manufacture of identical or similar products. As a result, FACTUREE reliably produces components in series.
What are the characteristics of mass production?
FACTUREE defines mass production as characterized by consistent specifications, repeatable quality, and fixed process steps across many components. The drawings, tolerances, and choice of materials remain identical from the first unit to the last.
What is industrial mass production?
FACTUREE defines industrial mass production as the automated or semi-automated production of large quantities of identical components. We coordinate mass production through our network of certified manufacturing partners.
What is a mass-production manufacturer?
As a digital procurement platform, FACTUREE is not itself a mass-production manufacturer. FACTUREE places orders with more than 2,000 certified mass-production manufacturers in its partner network and handles quality assurance and logistics.
What does "variety-based" and "series" production mean?
FACTUREE defines "variety and series production" as the simultaneous production of multiple product variants on the same production line. This process involves more than just the mass production of a single product.
Which manufacturing processes are suitable for mass production?
For mass production, FACTUREE primarily uses CNC machining, casting, additive manufacturing, and sheet metal fabrication. The manufacturing process varies depending on the material, geometry, and batch size of the component.
How does mass production differ from small-batch production?
FACTUREE classifies small-batch production as runs ranging from 10 to several hundred units. Series production scales up to full production volume. The drawings, contact person, and quality standards remain the same across both stages.
What are some examples of high-volume production at FACTUREE?
FACTUREE handles large-scale production. This includes series of housings for the automotive industry.
The company also manufactures connectors for the electronics industry. In addition, FACTUREE produces mass-produced parts for the mechanical engineering industry. Manufacturing is carried out by certified partners.
When is mass production more cost-effective than small-batch production?
FACTUREE recommends switching to high-volume production. This applies as soon as the tooling costs are recouped through the production volume. At that point, price and consistent quality are more important than short lead times for individual batches.
What processes does FACTUREE use for mass production?
FACTUREE uses CNC machining, additive manufacturing, casting, and sheet metal fabrication for high-volume production,
At what volume does it make sense to enter into a framework agreement with FACTUREE?
FACTUREE recommends a framework agreement for regular, predictable parts requirements over an extended period, as this allows prices and capacities to be fixed for the long term.
