Are most OE in Software/IT?

Context: I run a small manufacturing business so pretty much all of my employees are in-person. I visit this sub from time to time because it seems like another world, so I’m mostly asking this to satisfy my own curiosity.

I can’t really fathom being able to be effective enough to hold multiple jobs that make six figs (except for software/IT roles, hence the framing)!

I can imagine marketing and other “people person” jobs with low “on” hours working logistically, but the social/reputational aspect of those makes me think they’re not a good fit for OE.

What’s the consensus here?

Hi there, my company is making some scientific equipment and we need very fine feature sizes (0.1-0.5mm) on a few small (10-50mm) components. However, we need a decent quantity of them so CNC is pretty impractical cost-wise. I was thinking we can SLA print with a clean-burning resin and vacuum cast the parts, but I’m worried about defects from investment. Does anyone know what the best way to ensure a really smooth interface? Or maybe a recommended brand/type of investment that has really small particle sizes?
