You wouldn’t use a cheese grater to peel an apple right? That’s because cheese doesn’t have the same properties as an apple peel. Cheese is softer, and the apple peel should come off in big pieces rather than shreds. We need to keep the desired outcome in mind when choosing a manufacturing method!
Since different materials require different manufacturing methods because they have different properties, we are going to focus only on methods relevant to what the Front Cover was made out of - plastic!
