What is On-Demand-Manufacturing?

On-demand manufacturing — or on-demand production, manufacturing on-demand or production on-demand — is as straightforward as it sounds. Parts or finished products are made as and when needed and in the exact quantities required.

This is the opposite of traditional manufacturing, where goods are mainly produced in large volumes and stored as inventory in a warehouse until sold, which may take weeks or months.

The move from traditional to on-demand manufacturing may appear minor but it represents a transformation in the way goods are designed, ordered, made and shipped. It also radically changes the way manufacturers and their suppliers and customers interact with each other.

How does On-Demand-Manufacturing work?

On-demand manufacturing works like any on-demand service. Users log on to a web or mobile app, upload their design specifications or CAD (computer-aided design) models and receive instant quotes from a global ecosystem of qualified manufacturing partners.

These manufacturers will guide you through the whole process from initial design to final delivery, including advice on which materials and production methods are best suited for your needs. Some on-demand manufacturing platforms even offer auto-generated design-for-manufacturing feedback to further optimize your model and ensure the best results.

After approving your chosen quote, manufacturing begins and each stage of the process can be tracked in real-time via the digital platform.

The system uses the flexibility of online services and cloud technology to provide users with complete live control of projects. Changing details such as delivery dates and location and sharing project information with colleagues can be done at the touch of a button, and pricing is both transparent and visible.

A user-friendly platform ensures the manufacturer and client remain in constant contact during every phase of production. And thanks to the power of cloud computing, all information and communication are stored and easily accessible anywhere, anytime.
