Any time you make a new physical object, you make a material selection decision.
Good decisions reward you with lower costs, better performance, lower failure rates, lower environmental impact, better market share, and a feeling of accomplishment.
Proper, by-the-book material selection takes a lot of work. Ideally, it is done by a team that includes experts in engineering and industrial design, different material types, forming processes, sourcing, and manufacturing.
If you had a team like that, you wouldn't be here.
What you have is a product (or even a single part) that you want to make or buy. What you need is to know what to make it from.
MakeItFrom.com gives you the tools to select the best material for every part you design, no matter how small or low in production volume.
