Low-volume production refers to manufacturing a relatively small number of units—typically between 10 and 500—though exact quantities can vary depending on the industry and technology involved. Manufacturers often use a low-volume approach to bridge the gap between prototyping and mass production. Companies also use it when products are extremely expensive
Ontario has a strong reputation as one of the aerospace industry leaders in Canada and globally. The sector contributes around $6.5 billion annually to the economy, accounting for 30% of Canada’s aerospace sector. Ontario’s aerospace industry plays a critical role in global supply chains. Although one can find components manufactured
CNC prototyping plays a vital role in the defence sector by enabling precise and rapid development of complex parts. CNC machining offers an opportunity to produce complex prototype components to the highest standards of accuracy and quality, ultimately leading to advanced defence solutions capable of meeting stringent military requirements. CNC
CNC machining is an automated manufacturing process that improves a part’s precision, efficiency, and repeatability. It’s vital in modern manufacturing because it can produce complex shapes that would be nearly impossible to make by manual machining. But precision doesn’t start at the spindle. It begins with the material. Ethical
Ben Machine’s Supply Chain Disruption Strategies Purchasing managers across industries in Canada and beyond have been truly challenged by the supply chain disruptions brought about by the 2020 global pandemic. With clogged ports causing delays, hikes in raw materials threatening bottom lines, and break downs in established reliable supply chains,
