Usually when a customer finds us, the other party will look at our company information, first understand our factory scale, processing capacity, etc., and some customers will have doubts about the price we quoted when providing quotations. For example, why is your price more expensive than others? How are your prices calculated? Next, let me talk about how our prototype factory calculates the quotation of prototype products.
There are many factors in the quotation of the prototype. For example, in the selection of materials, the prices of some basic and common materials are relatively cost-effective. However, some products have certain restrictions on materials and must be realized with special materials. These materials are more difficult to find in the market, so the price will be relatively higher. There are also metals such as magnesium alloy, which is a lively metal and is easy to catch fire during processing, so it will be more expensive in terms of manpower, and stainless steel with high hardness is also stricter in terms of machines, tools, and processing time, so the price will be more expensive.
The structure and difficulty of the prototype model: Some prototypes have a more complicated structure and a higher degree of difficulty in making them, which is one of them. In addition, some prototypes that exceed the size of normal machine tools need to be disassembled and processed in batches, which is also the reason
Post-processing process: conventional processing processes include grinding, oil injection, silk screen printing, electroplating, oxidation, laser engraving, etc. Some prototype models have different total numbers of post-processing and more general crafts, which will also lead to higher prices.
The precision of the prototype model: the higher the precision, the higher the requirements for equipment and technical masters, which is also the point of high cost
The processing method of the prototype: the more common processing methods are CNC processing, 3D printing processing and silicone mold. Generally, the selection will be made according to the quantity of products. Among them, the price of 3D printing is relatively cheap, but there are no two good ones left in terms of the characteristics of the processed products.
