Have you ever wondered what it takes to manufacture a high-end faucet? Or why a similar looking faucet
costs $100 and $2,000? In this presentation, participants will partake in American manufacturing
of a high-end faucet. The presentation will allow participants to virtually walk through the plant and understand
all the stages of manufacturing. From selecting the raw materials, CNC machining, polishing, plating,
assembly, water testing, quality control all the way to packaging and shipping. We will also cover the
idea of an original design and what this important factor will contribute to its overall outcome and future
product development.
