Nowadays, our economy is driven by impulse thanks to the growth of digital commerce. Online shopping has given people a need to have products as soon as possible with just a click, and that mentality has even made its way into the world of manufacturing.
Taking advantage of this “buy now” mentality, the traditional method of manufacturing has revolved around producing large quantities of items and then aggressively marketing them to the public. However, as shown by the race to produce disposable masks during the pandemic, these methods are proving to not be as reliable as they should be, and often leave you with warehouses full of products no one wants.
A new approach is needed in the industry, and Katalyst Software Services Limited has stepped up to the table with its custom manufacturing services. Offering a different, adaptive method to production, we offer the help your company needs to overcome your manufacturing problems at any stage to move your vision forward.
What Makes Custom Manufacturing Different?
Unlike traditional manufacturing, custom manufacturing—also known as on-demand manufacturing—involves companies producing products in smaller batches as required.
At first glance, this might not seem like the most profitable method of production, but combined with small lead times and quick fabrication, each product made has a guaranteed buyer. This means you can largely avoid any chance of waste, saving you money and space in your warehouse.
This is largely due in part to the advancements made in digital production technology and AI, allowing systems to send designs to 3D printers as soon as the orders come in, completely cutting out time spent on preparation like with traditional manufacturing.
Naturally, custom manufacturing is not a be-all and end-all to the issues that stem from traditional manufacturing, but it is a start. At the moment, custom manufacturing offers an advantage to most smaller and midsized businesses for allowing others to order as much as they want whenever they may need it. Additionally, the heavy reduction in waste will also help the environment significantly.

How Can Katalyst Help You?
Now that you know that Katalyst can help out in your industry, the next question you’re probably wondering is what exactly we can do for your business.
Here’s a recent example: A leading boom truck crane and Aerial work platform manufacturer needed a design solution for a new crane that could meet statutory requirements for use in specific states. Our team of mechanical engineers leaped for the challenge, designing layouts and alternative concepts to meet the overall dimension needs of the crane.
After regular design reviews and considering additional requirements requested by the client, our engineers provided the company with 3D models and assembly and installation drawings to allow the production of the custom materials to begin quickly.
