By Nice Rapid | Mar 13 , 2020

Many customers are first interested in the price of the product when looking for a prototype company. However, the quote is not set by sales, but is based on careful evaluation of products. 

 

There are lots of factors will bear on the price of rapid prototyping models. You can send drawings along with your requirements to sales If you want to know the price. For example, materials, processing technology, accuracy requirements, surface treatments, delivery dates, or additional services will affect the price.

 

Today, we summarize several main factors that influence the price of rapid prototyping models processing.

 

1 Materials: plastic, aluminum alloy or stainless steel, different materials will have different processing costs. For example, if the material requires high hardness, tungsten steel must be used, and hardened tools must be used, so the cost will be higher than that of ordinary materials.

 

2 The size and complex of prototypes: usually the prototypes are very difficult to be manufactured if it has complex structure, so the cost is high; also, the cost will increase a lot if prototype is large (or has curved faces). 

 

3 The precision of prototypes: When customers require high accuracy (such as 0.01mm tolerance), both the processing equipment and the technicians have higher requirements, so the cost will be relatively higher.

 

4 The surface finish of prototypes: such as painting, silk-screen, plaint, engraving etc.…they will increase the cost. Usually the more difficult of surface treatment, the higher cost.
