- High Unit Cost: Traditional sand‑casting suppliers charge 15‑25% more for comparable tolerances.
- Long Lead Times: 6‑8 weeks from order to delivery slows product launches.
- Quality Inconsistencies: Dimensional variance > 0.2 mm leads to re‑work and scrap.
- Limited Material Options: Few providers can switch between aluminum, stainless steel, and cast iron without new tooling.
- Regulatory Risks: Non‑compliant coatings cause customs delays in the USA.
Result: Missed market windows, inflated budgets, and unhappy engineering teams.
