Not that surprising, unfortunately. I work with lots of clients and engineers who assume that 3d printing and CAD is all the experience & input you need to move to plastic injection. It's actually shockingly common.

I think it's really a problem of not knowing what you don't know yet.

+1 on the 3d printing, portong parts from 3d printed rapid prototypes to machined / molded / forged / cast production parts involves much more work and effort than most people think. Including engineers and even manufacturing engineers...
