The Factors Affecting the CNC Prototype’s Price
Although CNC prototype is very common, many clients still think that its price is
too high. But it is not true. The salers in Leecheer Prototype Company quote
after they study the 3D drawing sent by clients. If the following factors
appearing in 3D drawing, the difficulty would be risen and the price also increases.
1. The precision and surface roughness of machined parts: if the machined parts
need to reach the tolerance requirement of 0.01mm, it is a high requirement of
both machining equipment and skilled worker. So the cost will increase relatively.
2. The structure and size of manchined parts: if the structure of parts is complex,
the manufacturing cost is also increase. If the overall dimensions of parts is very
big or its appearance is curved surface shape, the manufacturing cost also
increase.
3. The material of machined parts is difficult-to-machine material, such as
stainless steel. The hardness of material is big. It needs the tool with harden
tungsten steel to machine. So the manufacturing cost is higher than the cost
of common material.
4. The technology of CNC prototype is much more, which includes CNC machining,
polishing, spray painting, silk-screen, brushing, watermake, electroplating,
laser etching and so on.
The factors affecting the CNC prototype’s price is mainly the following
several aspects.
1. The precision and surface roughness of machined parts: if the machined
parts need to reach the tolerance requirement of 0.01mm, it is a high
requirement of both machining equipment and skilled worker. So the cost
will increase relatively.
2. The structure and size of manchined parts: if the structure of parts is
complex, the manufacturing cost is also increase. If the overall dimensions
of parts is very big or its appearance is curved surface shape, the manufacturing
cost also increase.
3. The material of machined parts is difficult-to-machine material, such as
stainless steel. The hardness of material is big. It needs the tool with harden
