It can be challenging for larger vendors to match the agility, universality, and responsiveness of small fabrication firms. Production timelines can be maintained by assigning some work to a business that can react rapidly. Time is a vital component that can undermine even the most well-laid out strategy for contracts involving on-demand production. Customers (hobbyists, consumers, and other enterprises) have more accessibility to bespoke components or assembly development when procedures are decentralized. Using smaller talent pools with minimal overhead frequently lowers production costs, resulting in a more affordable final product.

Systems for internal enterprise-level automation are typical for high production volumes in manufacturing. But what about the smaller consumer base of the niche or custom product developer? Traditional fabrication techniques enhanced by small-scale and partial automation
