Outsourcing vs. In-House Manufacturing:
Why Companies should outsource Laser Cut & Engraved Products, Parts, & Service.
Small to Medium sized businesses often cannot afford high priced machinery. Larger businesses may NOT want to spend in-house time and internal costs for volume production. It is to the advantage of most businesses, therefore, to outsource parts fabrication to save material and machining costs. More than this, it is costly to hire employees needing to be trained to design using CAD, Computer Aided Design programs, then run high-tech machinery, such as CNC, computer numeric controlled equipment.
Other outsourcing advantages are:
- When businesses have uncertain projection for future volume production.
- Frequent design changes, and the resulting fixturing and machining changes which follow.
- Lack of in-house precision machining knowledge and expertise. Outsourcing helps companies gain access to higher technologies.
