Investigate the feasibility of manufacturing with the intended technology. Ask around, question the sources of the technology and talk with manufacturers who already produce products containing the technology to assess its viability within your product.

The technology is poorly supported.
The development phase can suffer and escalate if a technology has very few development tools, application examples and technical support.

What to do about it!
Before using a technology investigate what tools, application platforms, factory support and expert sources are available to help support the implementation of the technology in your product.
