Serial production refers to the repeatable manufacturing of end-use parts at scale using industrial technologies, including Industrial 3D Printing and Injection Molding. Serial production focuses on consistent quality, validated processes, and reliable output from hundreds to thousands of parts.
At Prototal, we offer serial production in Industrial 3D Printing and Injection Molding. Injection Molding has been around for a long time and is perceived as a rather traditional manufacturing technology, that’s been proven in serial production for years. Industrial 3D Printing has seen technological advancements during the more recent past, which made the development into a serial production manufacturing technology possible, fulfilling highest standards.
Prototal operates under certified quality management systems. These include the following

As a flexible partner we can offer lead times down to 1 working day depending on manufacturing technology, material selection, post-processing and quality control.*
- Industrial 3D Printing in Polymer: Typical 2-3 working days*
- Industrial 3D Printing in Metal: Typical 5-7 working days*
- Injection Molding with aluminium tooling: Down to 15 working days*
- Vacuum Casting: Typical 6-8 working days*
*While Prototal offers industry-leading turnaround times, all lead times are provided as estimates. Lead times are based on standard operating conditions and the selection of the most efficient regional technology hub for your project. Final lead times are determined by local availability, the specific requirements of your order, including part geometry, material selection, and post-processing. For complex geometries that require extensive support structures or high-performance materials, we may allocate additional processing time. This ensures the structural integrity and dimensional accuracy of your components before they leave our facility. By leveraging our decentralized hub network and cross-border logistics, we work to minimize delays; however, the technical requirements of the manufacturing process remain the primary factor in our quality-assured lead times.
