Hi tr2, know what you mean, but when the desire outstrips the ability to satisfy the customer's needs, then it's back to the drawing board to modify until you can.
I was taught this by the chief mechanical draughsman in our drawing office, and it was a rule that he applied to all would be design engineers who made drawings of things that could not be made.
This concept was also applied to some of the designs of parts supplied by Rolls Royce at a firm I worked for in the UK in the '70s, and there were many modifications that otherwise would have made manufacture an impossibility.
At my last employ, before I retired, we had stainless steel sintered parts made that were vibro finished to give the surface finish required, as the volumes exceeded many thousand parts per week.
