Problem
Lack of a seamless transition from prototype to mass production forces manufacturers to redesign parts, engage new suppliers, and invest in new tooling, causing delays, increased costs, and inconsistencies in product quality.
Solution
Lodge offers a digital manufacturing workflow that uses the same CAD/CAM file for both prototyping and the first thousand production units. By keeping suppliers, tooling, and processes unchanged, the platform delivers identical precision and cost efficiency at scale. This approach accelerates time‑to‑market for fixed‑wing airframe components and other industrial parts while maintaining the design intent established during prototyping.
Target Audience
Primary customers are aerospace manufacturers and industrial part producers who need to scale fixed‑wing airframe components from prototype to low‑volume production quickly and cost‑effectively.
Features
- Single-source digital file that drives both prototype and low‑volume production runs
- No requirement for new tooling or supplier changes when scaling from prototype to 1,000 units
- Consistent dimensional accuracy and material properties across prototype and production parts
- Integrated workflow that aligns design, manufacturing, and quality verification steps
- Optimized for aerospace structural components, particularly fixed‑wing airframes
