Manufacturing

MAKE IT WHEN
IT SELLS.

Being built

Traditional manufacturing asks you to guess demand months ahead and pay for the guess. On-demand production inverts that — and the inversion is a real trade rather than a free improvement.

The trade, stated plainly

Higher unit cost and longer per-order lead time, in exchange for no inventory risk and no minimum. For a first product that trade is usually right; at volume it usually is not.

Where it fits best

Testing demand before committing, long-tail variants that would never justify a run, and personalised goods that cannot be made in advance at all.

Design has to suit the process

A product designed for a production run frequently cannot be made economically one at a time. Deciding the method after finishing the design is how a viable product becomes an unmakeable one.

Status

Designed, not built. Production runs, materials and yields are recorded today for manufacturers on the protocol; a connected on-demand network is not.
