RE: Fun to know: Selecting materials in engineering

in #engineering7 years ago

I've even heard some of the "premium" brands nowadays were born as cheap material solutions back in the day - when the expensive solutions died out from the market, the original cheap solution was a premium brand compared to the new, current cheap brands.

Like with Fiskars scissors, which have plastic handle, instead of the iron handles.

Thanks :) I appreciate you reading through comments! We should take the ideas we get from children, if not to get new ideas but think through the things we know. As what is common sense for us, is not usually common sense for children, and we might have to learn something new if we want to be able to answer to the child properly.

Studying and learning new is always beneficial.
It's interesting how the world changes.
