I think good surfacing theory and practice has a huge impact on your design and design intent and needs to be embedded in the culture and taught early. One of my first conversations with any new engineer I am working with is around surfacing so it doesn’t come as a surprise later in the process. It can be challenging at times when you may lose control downstream. It’s not just about aesthetics, it can have benefits to molding, forming, strength, adhesion, surface continuity can have many benefits, but the ability to understand, communicate, and maintain intent from handoff to production can certainly present challenges.
