From 500 to 50,000 Parts: Scaling Production with Mars Engineering

December 19, 2025

multi-spindle machining parts

When a project moves from prototype to production, the biggest challenge isn’t always the design, but finding a manufacturing partner who can scale with you. Whether you need a short run of 500 parts for testing or a full production order of 50,000 units, Mars Engineering has built its reputation on delivering quality, consistency, and speed at every stage.

For nearly 60 years, Mars Engineering has specialized in screw machine products and end to end manufacturing services. By keeping prototyping, machining, grinding, finishing, and assembly under one roof, they eliminate the bottlenecks and hand offs that slow down traditional supply chains. The result is a smoother path from concept to high volume production.

Built for Scale: Screw Machining That Grows with Your Needs

Shop-Facilities-32At the core of Mars Engineering’s operation is its extensive screw machining department. With 35 single spindle Brown & Sharpe machines and a full lineup of multi spindle equipment, Mars can handle both small and large quantities without sacrificing precision.

Unlike CNC machines that perform operations sequentially, single spindle screw machines can complete up to five operations simultaneously. This makes them ideal for:

  • High volume production
  • Tight tolerance components
  • Complex geometries
  • Cost sensitive parts

Whether you’re producing 500 parts for a pilot run or scaling to 50,000 units for full market release, Mars Engineering’s screw machining capabilities ensure consistent quality at competitive pricing.

Beyond Machining: A Complete Manufacturing Ecosystem

Scaling production is about both machining capacity & having every downstream process ready to support higher volumes. Mars Engineering offers a full suite of services designed to keep your project moving without delays.

Centerless Grinding

From soft plastics to hardened steel and hard chrome, Mars can centerless grind a wide range of materials. Their grinders support both prototype quantities and large production runs, ensuring uniformity and surface precision at any scale.

CNC Milling, Turning, and Water Jetting

For parts requiring complex features or secondary operations, Mars provides CNC machining and water jetting services that integrate seamlessly with screw machining workflows.

EDM Machining

Presicion-cut-Wire-EDM-tubeElectrical discharge machining allows Mars to produce intricate shapes, tight internal features, and components that require extreme accuracy.

Finishing, Plating, Polishing, and Light Assembly

Instead of coordinating multiple vendors, customers can rely on Mars for complete finishing and assembly. This reduces lead times, improves quality control, and simplifies project management.

Serving Industries That Demand Precision

Since 1964, Mars Engineering has supported a wide range of industries, each with its own standards, materials, and performance requirements. Their experience spans:

  • Automotive
  • Chip manufacturing
  • Food processing
  • Heating and cooling
  • Transportation
  • Electrical and utilities
  • Medical
  • Music and specialty components

This diversity has shaped Mars into a problem solving partner capable of adapting to new challenges and materials with confidence.
