Process route is a manufacturing decision, not a workshop habit.

The Challenge

Use the process that can answer the question you are paying to ask. Printing is for form, early fit and fixtures, when you accept that the material and the process are not production.

A lower piece price is not the same decision. The crossover later is hypothetical teaching maths: not a BrahmWorks price, not a shop rate, not a yield and not a lead time.

Description

This Insights guide explains Process Route Choices for founders and engineering teams building hardware that must be manufactured, tested, and handed off. A lower piece price is not the same decision. The crossover later is hypothetical teaching maths: not a BrahmWorks price, not a shop rate, not a yield and not a lead time. It also covers what each process will lie to you about; matching the process to the decision; quantity is not understanding.

The Outcome

The question this batch must answer is one sentence. The material is the production grade, or the record says what the stand-in cannot prove. Draft, wall and undercuts are either designed for moulding or labelled as cheats.
