The materials exhibited warpage, causing an uneven surface in a substantial number of parts produced.  Without a consistently flat surface, the manufacturer encountered a variety of issues involving both the form and function of the part, leading to the high number of rejected parts.

Fibers on surface or uneven surface appearance 

To address this issue, you can design with softer materials over a greater surface area . Gloss or semi-gloss textures are often used for highly aesthetic surfaces . Add surface texture to prevent sticking and to mask aesthetic defects 6 .
