We like to run mid-volume from 1000 - 100,000 parts.

Absolutely not! While we welcome any input you might have, selecting the most suitable and cost-effective machining process is a core part of the service we provide at Weber Mfg. Our experienced team analyzes your part design, required tolerances, material specifications, and production volume to determine the optimal manufacturing strategy using our diverse range of equipment and expertise. Your role is to provide clear drawings and specifications; leveraging our knowledge to choose the most efficient and effective production method is our job.

We can machine many idfferent materials besides metal. • ABS • Acetal • Acrylic • Aluminum • Brass • Bronze • Carbon & Alloy Steels • Copper • Nylon • Polycarbonate • PTFE • PVC • Stainless Steel • Titanium

That's an excellent question, and the best choice really depends on several key factors about your specific part and production needs: complexity, tolerances, material, and especially the required volume. CNC Swiss machining provides outstanding precision and versatility. It excels when dealing with complex geometries, extremely tight tolerances, and a wide variety of materials. Because its setup is computer-controlled and relatively faster than cam machines, it's highly effective for prototypes, low-to-medium volume runs, and even high-volume production of intricate components, such as those commonly found in the medical device, aerospace, and electronics industries. Cam-driven screw machining remains a highly competitive option specifically for extremely high-volume production runs (typically in the hundreds of thousands or millions) of relatively simpler parts with stable designs. While the initial mechanical setup is time-intensive, the sheer speed and efficiency for basic operations on these machines can lead to a significantly lower per-piece cost once running, making it exceptionally economical for dedicated, long-term projects. The bottom line? You don't need to be the expert in choosing! Here at Weber Manufacturing in Southbury, Connecticut, we have deep expertise in both technologies. Simply provide us with your part drawings, specifications (including tolerances and material), and anticipated production volume. Our team will analyze your requirements and recommend or utilize the most precise, efficient, and cost-effective manufacturing method for your specific application.

Yes, absolutely! Design for Manufacturability (DFM) assistance is a key part of the value we provide as your manufacturing partner here at Weber Manufacturing. We understand that achieving the perfect balance between design functionality and cost-effective production is essential. When you submit your designs, our experienced team doesn't just look at if we can make the part, but how we can make it most efficiently and economically using either our CNC Swiss or cam-driven capabilities. If we identify specific features – such as unnecessarily tight tolerances, complex geometries requiring multiple setups, deep pockets, difficult-to-machine radii, or material choices significantly impacting tooling or cycle time – that are driving up the cost, we will proactively communicate with you. Our goal is to collaborate. We can suggest potential modifications, supported by our decades of machining expertise right here in Southbury, Connecticut, that could simplify production, reduce machining time, or lower tooling costs, all while ensuring the proposed changes maintain or even enhance the part's intended function and integrity. We aim to be your partner in finding the most effective path from design to finished part.
