Short Prototype Batches

Schedule a call

Liondell provides short prototype batches that allow businesses to trial parts under real manufacturing conditions before investing in full production.

Our low-volume runs are ideal for validating designs, testing materials and producing early samples for customer feedback or regulatory approval. By manufacturing only what you need at this stage, you reduce risk and cost while gaining essential performance insight.

Our prototype batch services replicate true production behaviour and deliver practical development data. We offer:

  • Short Run Injection Moulding – Low-volume parts using prototype or pre-production tooling.
  • Material & Design Validation – Test components in the actual production polymer.
  • Pilot Production Runs – Samples for early feedback or certification.
  • Bridge Manufacturing – Temporary supply during tooling completion.
  • Flexible Volumes – From small quantities to several hundred units.

With over 50 years of combined engineering experience, Liondell delivers flexible UK-based support backed by reliable global partners. Whether you need test parts for validation or short runs for market trials, we tailor output to your requirements and timeline, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

Using prototype or low-volume tooling, we produce parts in the correct materials and under production-like conditions. This enables you to:

  • Confirm fit, form and function
  • Identify and resolve issues early
  • Generate samples for approvals or customer testing
  • Transition smoothly into full production tooling

We support industries including automotive, medical, consumer goods, electronics, industrial components and packaging. Liondell provides efficient, precise prototype batches that help you move confidently toward large-scale manufacture.

We have worked with Liondell on a number of very technical projects. With their strong mould design knowledge and experience we have been able to achieve some fantastic results. Their standard approach to the full process ensures all elements are considered, discussed and approved at each stage to ensure the final tools meet or exceed the expectations of all involved. We look forward to continuing to work together.”

It is a pleasure to work with Liondell (Andy & James). Their process is very simple but detailed, from the initial quote, through DFM, GA activities to tool receipt. Their process for pre-shipment check and UK toolroom inspection BEFORE we receive the tools works extremely well. We have not had a fault with the tooling we have received from them. We look forward to working with them in the future”
