CNC processing cost calculation method

- Nov 27, 2023-

The processing of aluminum alloy parts and hardware parts is generally processed by CNC. However, many CNC processing workshops on the market have caused uncertainty in price and quality.
Let us take a look today - how customers should grasp the CNC processing price of hardware parts, so that you can find a CNC processing factory that guarantees hardware parts that are not too expensive.
A budget can save you money
Looking for a suitable hardware parts processing factory, each manufacturer has its own advantages. We need to find a suitable CNC processing factory according to our own needs. Small factories are suitable for proofing, and large factories are suitable for large quantities. There are two ways to calculate prices. 1. According to the length of product processing time 2. Calculated according to machine tools. For example, if your product is originally made with a lathe, but you need to find a machining center, it will definitely be much more expensive.

How to calculate the CNC processing price of hardware parts
1. First, look at your drawings and technical requirements.
2. The materials in each place are artificial, and the price difference is huge in some places.
3. General parts are calculated based on material cost + processing fee + profit. The processing fee is determined by the process. The price of using different processing equipment is of course different. Some are calculated by working hours (turning time, grinding time, etc.) and some are calculated by process (such as the number of folding plates, the number of ordinary drilling, etc.)
4. There is a question of quantity. Of course, the quantity is large. If it is a single piece, it will be miserable. Even if it is a small piece, the material will not be retailed, and it will be the price of your entire board! For example, if you say 0.3, it is not commonly used by manufacturers. If you only have one or two, if you only buy the materials once for one board (such as 1220*2440), then your material costs will be spent.
5. Problems with the processing factory. If the parts processing factory can handle it, of course there will be no problem. If the processing factory itself has some processes that need to be outsourced, the price will increase accordingly. If you are already a foreign company, it is equivalent to outsourcing twice! So look for a CNC processing factory, find the right one, and find what they can do and are good at.
