Print and produce on demand removes inventory risk entirely: nothing is made until it is sold. What it costs is unit margin and control, and whether that trade is right depends on where you are rather than on which is better.
Inventory risk, which is the thing that ends most small brands. Nothing is bought before it is sold, so a wrong guess about demand costs a missed sale rather than a warehouse of stock nobody wants.
Per-unit price is substantially higher than a production run and lead times are longer per order. It is a way to start and to test, and it stops being the right answer at volume.
Made-to-order means nobody sees the item before the customer does. The failure mode is a defect discovered by the person who paid for it, which is why a sample process matters more here rather than less.
Designed, not built. Manufacturers and production runs exist as records; an on-demand production programme with connected producers does not.
