Then it&#8217;s a scramble to answer questions related to material, tolerances, or where we&#8217;re sourcing these fasteners.

Getting any one of these questions wrong in the early stages of a hardware product can kill your budget and your projects (and your company, if you&#8217;re still startup up).
