Cost-Effective Solutions for Low to Medium Volume Manufacturing
Why entrepreneurs need to know about ManufacturingWhy entrepreneurs need to know about Manufacturing
You don’t make money selling hand-made prototypesDesign decisions made early-on have cost ramifications
later, and may be very difficult to change laterDesign decisions affect:

Cost-Effective Solutions for Low to Medium Volume ManufacturingHOW DO 3D-PRINTING AND RAPID PROTOTYPING FIT IN WITH
OTHER MANUFACTURING PROCESSES?
FORM IN WHICH RAW MATERIAL DELIVERED: Typical processes
FIXED FORM:FIXED FORM: Machining metals and plastics from bar stock (minimal part-specific tooling, maximum
flexibility)
