When you create a product, consumers will naturally flock to the item if it benefits their life in some way. Over time, though, they'll expect product improvements -- or at least lowered prices. This effectively leaves you in a position to engage in a product redesign. If you don't seek out a new perspective during sheet metal design, all of your effort could be wasted.
The Danger of Tunnel Vision in Sheet Metal Design
When you first start a business, you have a unique idea that you can hopefully start a business around. Over time, you bring in others who help you make the idea a success. This can serve your company well for years, but when the time comes for a product redesign, a form of tunnel vision typically occurs.
The reality is that, regardless of the change your company is going through, getting an outside perspective is essential. You and your employees have had one vision for potentially years, so it's understandable that you might not be able to step outside of this box.
Involving a vendor in your sheet metal design can help you "see the forest" in spite of the trees and avoid groupthink.
