Who It's For
Pilot Manufacturing is a good fit if you:
-
Have a validated prototype ready to produce
-
Need your first production run
-
Have customer orders but aren't ready for thousands of units
-
Want to test the market before investing in tooling

Need 10, 50, 100, or up to 500 units
-
Want to manufacture locally while refining your production process
Our Process
1. Review Your Product
We evaluate your production-ready design, quantity, materials, and requirements.
2. Plan the Run
We determine the appropriate manufacturing process, materials, and production approach.
3. Produce Your First Run
We manufacture your parts locally in the quantity you need, up to 500 units.
4. Learn & Improve
Use your first production run to gather customer feedback, identify improvements, and refine your process.
5. Scale When You're Ready
When demand grows, your product and process are better positioned for the next stage of manufacturing.
Production Without the Giant Commitment
Traditional manufacturing can require expensive tooling, large minimum order quantities, and thousands of units before you can test your market.
You don't need to start there.
Redtail gives you a path to produce what you need now, learn from the market, and scale when the time is right.
From idea to your first 500 units. No MOQ.
