Cost and profitability
Include material, labour, energy, packaging and scrap in unit cost, allocating mould investment across expected accepted output. Consider platform fees, tax and shipping separately. Model several sales volumes; subtracting raw material alone from selling price overstates profit.
Product-specific checks
Design the inner core, drainage opening and base thickness together. A thin rim can break during demoulding; inspect rim integrity, upright stability and drainage on the first casting. Follow the concrete supplier's mixing and curing instructions.
Application and sample checks
Define finished dimensions, casting material and critical surfaces first. Record production variables and reassess approval whenever the material or master changes; an earlier sample does not automatically validate a revised process.
