03 · MATERIALS BECOME AN OBJECT
Made, part by part.
Each material takes its own processing route before the parts are shaped, finished and assembled. Open a material branch for its documented transformations. The exact assembly sequence needs a model or manufacturer record.
Plastic
Depending on resin and shape, pellets may be injection moulded, extruded or blow moulded. PET bottles can begin as injection-moulded preforms that are reheated and stretch-blown.
Steel
Ore-based iron and recovered scrap feed steelmaking. The metal is cast, rolled and finished; the product then requires its own forming and assembly steps.
Fuel / consumable
Trace the confirmed fuel through production, filling and use. A photo does not establish a refinery or filling plant.

The specific assembly plant and batch remain unverified. Country markings are clues to investigate.
