When adding a major or even simple design change to a product that you are developing you may find yourself needing to have molds made in order to get pre-production samples... Sometimes this can cost thousands of dollars, But what happens if you have a mold made and then receive your sample and the product needs to be slightly changed ?????
Now you need a new mold...and this can get very costly!

In today's video Sharon shares how she recently had a sample 3d printed before the final design was made and sent to the supplier and then had a temporary "soft mold" made for the pre-production sampling. This process could save you thousands and is something every product developer should know.
