Factors Affecting the Cost of CNC Machining Custom Parts

The cost of CNC machining parts is mainly composed of processing time, processing equipment, material cost, surface treatment method, etc. How to control his cost well, DONGGUAN YIFENG METAL DONGGUAN YIFENG METAL conducts the following analysis and summary:

1. How to reduce the project start cost?

There will be certain costs incurred when the project is launched, these costs are related to the preparation of CAD files and process planning, which are of great significance for small batch production. This cost is fixed and there is an opportunity to reduce unit price by exploiting 'economies of scale

2. What is the impact of processing time on cost?

The longer it takes to machine a part, the more expensive it will be. Machining time is often the main cost driver for CNC machining. DFM evaluation is carried out when the project is imported, and the tool is customized according to the number of parts and the tool path is optimized. This can increase the efficiency by more than 20%. We have verified many cases to prove that the efficiency of the programs prepared by different engineers is very different, so DFM is a team. Participation will make the processing time at a reasonable value and control the necessary conditions for processing costs.

3. The impact of CNC machining parts processing and manufacturing equipment?

The machines required to create a part can greatly affect the cost. Can a CNC machining center use one multi-axis machine to complete a part, or does it require multiple machines? How many different machines and operations are needed? What size machines are needed? Modern machining and manufacturing equipment is very expensive, depending on the type of machine, brand, quality, size and abilities vary. Each of these factors must be considered in an accurate cost determination for a part or product.

4. How to control the cost of CNC machining materials?

The cost of bulk material, as well as the ease of machining of the material, greatly affects the overall cost of CNC machining. Optimizing a design while taking into account certain material considerations can greatly reduce the price, some materials can be processed much more slowly than others, even with advances in modern tooling and machine technology. Some materials can wear out the expensive consumable cutting tools used faster and can vary from one tool making hundreds or even thousands of parts to one part consuming multiple tools. If you ask your store to handle potentially hazardous materials that require extra safety precautions, the overall cost can increase significantly. Therefore, the choice of material for your components can be a huge cost influencer even before component design.
