1. Why Newcomers Struggle with Metal Casting

High Price Traps – 68% of first‑time buyers overpay by 25% because they cannot compare global supplier quotes.

Inconsistent Quality – 42% report surface defects or dimensional variance >0.2 mm, leading to re‑work costs.

Long Lead Times & Complex Regulations – Customs clearance for metal parts can add 7‑14 days; CE, RoHS, and ISO compliance are often misunderstood.
