No MOQ Nightmare: How We Make Low-Volume Custom Metal Parts Profitable for You

Many startups and R&D departments face the same problem: you need 10 custom metal brackets for a prototype, but most factories refuse orders under 1,000 pieces – or charge astronomical setup fees.

Why Simolex is different:

We have restructured our CNC department specifically for low-volume, high-variety production.

Our approach:

1. Quick-change fixturing: Reduces setup time from 2 hours to 15 minutes per job.

2. Shared tooling library: We absorb standard tooling costs across multiple small orders.

3. Batch consolidation: If you have 5 different small parts, we run them together on one machine pallet.
