Manufacturing
Having been a manufacturer for 7 years and producing about 2000 assemblies, we are intimately familiar with the challenges. Those challenges include designing from an idea and putting the parts and staff in place to execute that idea and create a long term product.
There is a difference between producing one or two copies and continuing to produce 25 copies a month of a complex product involving metal, finishing, electronics, and software.
