Every plastic or rubber product starts the same way: as an idea on a screen or a sketch on paper. The gap between that idea and a finished, sellable product is almost always closed — or widened — by one decision: which manufacturing process do you build it with?
Pick the right one early, and you save money, shorten your timeline, and end up with a part that performs the way it was designed to. Pick the wrong one, and you’re looking at redesigns, blown budgets, and a product that never quite reaches the market the way you imagined it.
