As we all know, CNC machining is suitable for machining complex, multiple processes, high requirements, the need to use a variety of types of general machine tools and numerous tooling fixtures, and by multiple clamping and adjustment to complete the machining of parts. The main objects of its machining are box-type parts, complex curved surfaces, shaped parts, plate and plate parts and special machining and other five categories. So what factors affect the price of CNC machining parts?
Factors affecting the price of CNC machined parts.
1、Materials
The price of different raw materials is often different. Even if some similar performance but not commonly used materials, the price will be much more expensive.
2、Tolerances
Tighter tolerances can lead to more difficult machining and increased scrap rates, which can also lead to higher prices.
3、Quantity
It takes the same amount of CNC programming time to produce 1 piece as 1000 pieces, so if a larger quantity is required the total cost will be shared equally, thus reducing the cost of the individual product.
4. Machining time
The longer it takes to machine a part, the more it will cost. Machining time is usually the main cost driver for CNC machined parts.
5. Surface finish
If surface finishes such as coating, smoothing, anodising, black oxide etc. are required, this can add several machining steps and significant costs.
6. Delivery times
Short lead times mean that suppliers need to coordinate more workers to schedule your order first and have to delay the machining of other orders. This is also a small factor in the additional cost, known in the industry as expedited machining charges.
The above factors on which factors affect the price of CNC machining parts for you to share here, CNC machining a wide range of applications, and more types of processed workpieces, so many companies in the machining of precision parts, moulds, etc. need to use CNC machining centres, and the price of this equipment is expensive, in the use of the process must be more care and maintenance
