And we’ll admit there’s probably even more benefits to be had from large-scale production runs when it comes to minimising the set up and tooling of machines ready for production. #### But there are many ways in which the ability to offer low volume PCB production – either a one-off piece, or a small quantity, can really benefit our customers. #### Here are a few reasons why our low volume PCB production is so popular. **1. Low risk, low cost way to test product designs** When you’re developing a new product, it’s important to keep outlay as low as possible, so a production run of several hundred units just isn’t feasible. Neither is arranging shipping from China with just one unit. Having a UK low volume [PCB production manufacturer](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/) that will deliver a single unit is essential to be able to develop and test new product designs quickly and cost-effectively. Whilst on a per-unit basis, the costs are higher, the long term expense of running a large volume production run, only to find that each one has a critical design flaw, is far more costly. **2. To create a prototype to demonstrate to potential investors** When looking for investment you’ll need a prototype to show off to any serious potential investors. Having the freedom and flexibility to order and receive a single PCB to build a [working prototype](https://www.garnerosborne.co.uk/pcb-prototyping) can be invaluable in securing essential investment for your project.
