Digital Manufacturing Across Your Product Life Cycle
Elimold is Your Product Lifecycle Partner,We’re with you, every step of the way.We are your single resource from rapid prototyping to end-use production—and everything in between.
Get Full Product Life Cycle Support from Start to Finish
From rapid prototyping to end-use production, and everything in between, we’re your single resource. Our company is uniquely structured to meet your product lifecycle needs, from early concepts and prototypes to bridge and low- to medium-volume production.
Whether you need a prototype part completed in a single day or full production services, you can partner with us throughout the entire product lifecycle, ensuring speed, quality, and cost-effectiveness for every project. We’ll be your trusted support throughout the entire manufacturing process.
End-to-end Product Development
Optimize part design and move quickly through iterative development with our rapid prototyping and low-volume production services. When you’re ready, work with our team of applications engineers to meet all of your production needs for end-use parts.
Supply Chain Diversification
Build a manufacturing safety net into your supply chain that you can turn to during line-down situations or unplanned disruptions.
The Ideal Product Lifecycle Partner
We specialize in the engineering and production of high-mix, low- to medium-volume parts. This niche market requires a unique combination of skills and expertise to effectively serve. Its scale is difficult to replicate. We offer a unique suite of on-demand services to help you accelerate your time to market. Our team has decades of experience in this field and is a leader in the industry.
We regularly help customers iterate and validate their part designs and efficiently bring them to production. If your needs grow to hundreds of thousands or even millions of parts, you’ll need to scale up to a large-scale contract manufacturer, which is beyond our scope. However, from prototyping and development to mid-volume production, we can provide you and your team with exceptional value.
What Makes Elimold Unique?
Many large manufacturers are reluctant to undertake prototyping work because it doesn’t meet their part volume and revenue requirements. They tend to avoid high-mix, low-volume parts. This is because they have to maintain large and expensive infrastructure and can’t afford to invest valuable manpower and resources in producing prototype parts. They also require long production runs to be profitable.
Others are marketplaces that connect you with third-party manufacturers, which often fragment your supply chain rather than simplify it.
Elimold fills a unique market gap. We are problem solvers, able to design custom manufacturing solutions tailored to our customers’ greatest part design challenges. We offer a unique combination of manufacturing methods and services you won’t find anywhere else.

How Do We Add Value?
Here’s what your experience with Elimold will look like at each step of your product lifecycle:
Early Concept
- Comprehensive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Analysis.
- Part design optimization.
- Identify opportunities for cost reduction in part design, tooling and the proposed production process.
- Consolidate assemblies into single parts, where possible.
Rapid Prototyping
- Quickly iterate product design using on-demand manufacturing methods (no tooling) until a final design is agreed upon.
- The customer uses these parts to validate fit, finish and functionality.
Bridge Production
- Build a limited number of parts (10s to low 1000s) to help the customer do an early soft launch or get feedback from key customers.
- In some cases, we may supply parts built using on-demand methods until the customer’s tooling is ready.
Short-Run Production
- Production parts, made in quantities large enough for the customer to do a product launch and handle the early stages of product sales (low 1000s to 10,000s).
Full Production
- 100,000 parts or more, produced on an ongoing basis to meet big production needs.
Accelerate Product Development with Rapid Prototyping
Take advantage of design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback in our instant quotes to make adjustments to part design before any actual manufacturing begins, then navigate quickly through early- and late-stage prototyping with ease.
Early Prototyping
Get quality parts in hand within days for iterative prototype testing of form, fit, and function
Late Prototyping
Validate part designs with pilot runs and market testing to reduce design risk before production
Shift Seamlessly to End-Use Production
You’ll find complete program management at Elimold with a team of manufacturing experts who will help optimize your project around cost, quantity, and quality.
Low-Volume Production
Ramp up production to get quality end-use parts to market fast and use batch production to reduce financial risk with no order minimums and low total cost of ownership.
Mass Production
Order quantities up to 1 million+ parts with volume pricing built to fit your budget.
On-Demand Production
Build agility into your supply chain by ordering quick-turn parts when needed.
Leverage Short-Term Production
You can also tap into our production capabilities for any immediate short-term needs of end-use parts like jigs, fixtures, and industrial components, or managing inventory levels and financial costs towards the end of the product life cycle.
Jigs & Fixtures
Streamline part assembly and help reduce production costs with durable jigs and fixtures.
End-of-Life Production
Reduce your financial risk and warehousing costs during end of product life by ordering low volumes of product parts just in time.
Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO)
Order custom production parts on demand for MRO applications to keep equipment running without delay.
