I think this breakdown needs some work. Currently it's:
H
- <a href="https://fswiki.us/Hand_Tools" title="Hand Tools">Hand Tools</a>
M
- <a href="https://fswiki.us/Machining" title="Machining">Machining</a>
- <a href="https://fswiki.us/Molds" title="Molds">Molds</a>
W
- <a href="https://fswiki.us/Welding" title="Welding">Welding</a>
I think this should be process-based and not tool-based so hand tools should be moved or renamed. I'm not sure where it should go or how it should go.
I propose add the following:
Additive Manufacturing
Sheet Metal Fabrication (would cover cutting, bending, stamping)
Injection Molding (including casting here)
Composites manufacturing (and moving Molds linked above into here)
I'd also like each of these sections to point to the US cost report cost tables and talk about how each is costed. Bring it from just industry knowledge back home to formula-specific. I haven't got a clue how Cost is done in other competitions so I hope we can have others to contribute in that way.

When I made the Hand Tools category, I was thinking of some processes that don't strictly fall into the other categories that exist right now, such as filing and grinding. Admittedly I'm not sure if we need a page for these processes or if we should choose a different name. (maybe Metalworking? that seems too broad...)
As for the categories Emily mentioned (Additive, Sheet Metal, Injection, Composites), I think they make sense.
I also think we should add a PCB or Electronics page.
