The builds meet dimensional tolerances and pass initial density checks, yet the parts then enter a post-processing queue that stretches three full weeks. Technicians manually remove lattice supports with handheld tools, bead-blast internal channels, and perform repeated solvent rinses to meet biocompatibility standards. Each implant requires individual logging of operator, batch number, and surface-finish measurements, creating a paper trail that frequently contains transcription errors. Delivery commitments slip, and the customer threatens to move the contract to a supplier that can guarantee consistent lead times.
