I can explain how a range of factors affect the selection of materials for manufacture.

Show transcript
Materials for manufacture are chosen based on performance, cost, and sustainability. Physical and working properties like strength, flexibility, and durability determine how well a material performs. Manufacturers must balance trade-offs between performance, cost, and sustainability when selecting materials. In a school workshop, cost is often the most critical factor when selecting materials.
