Benefits
Traditional manufacturing methods excel at producing large quantities of identical items at a cost per unit that is often lower than with other technologies.
Traditional manufacturing methods offer many options in terms of materials: metals, plastics, ceramics, composites, and more. This versatility allows manufacturers to choose materials best suited for the performance and property requirements of the end product.
The ability to produce thousands — or even millions — of parts efficiently makes traditional manufacturing the preferred method for industries including automotive, electronics, and consumer goods.
Traditional manufacturing methods provide a level of confidence and reliability, due to their longtime usage and quality-control measures. This allows manufacturers to ensure consistent and reliable production. Thanks to agreed-upon industry standards, manufacturers can more easily source materials and components.
