What a machining quote looks like ?
After reviewing your machining quote request we will come back to you with a quote including below items :
- Participation to tooling pricing* if any
- Part pricing for each quantity that you required
- Confirmation of the material quoted
- Confirmation of the coating if any
- Confirmation of specifications quoted if any difference from your request / drawings
- Detail about the shipment FOB (at China port) / DAP (delivery to your place tax non included) / DDP (delivery to your place tax included)
- Currency : We can quote in EUR / USD / CNY
- Lead time for the tooling and first samples, lead time for serial production and delivery
*: Tooling costs are a one time investment
What is the cost of machining metal parts ?
In order to get the best pricing for your machining project it is important to understand how the pricing is made and which are the cost impacting contraints.
Non recurring tooling costs
According to the complexity of your part and the quantity needed some tooling costs may need to be applied. Tooling are often use to fix the parts for specific machining steps, may also include specific fixture for quality control after machining.
Machining parts costs
Factors that are impacting the cost of machining.
- Raw material cost, for example a bloc of aluminium at 1USD would cost 2.5USD if in stainless steel and 12USD if in titanium.
- Machinability of the material, for example Stainless steel is much harder than aluminium and would cost 2 to 3 times more for the same machining.
- Complexity of the part will have an impact on the number of steps needed for machining the part and the equipment required to machine it, a 5 axis CNC operating cost will be 2 to 3 times more than a simple lathe.
- Quantity of parts will also have significant impact, as once the machining device is set up, time will be saved for machining extra parts.
- Surface treatment, typically anodisation would cost 0.02 to 0.1 USD per cm2, while painting painting would cost half of it (ball point estimation).
- Lead time : overtime may be organised to offer parts earlier (especially for prototypes), but this comes at a cost.
- Packaging : metal parts need to be well protected to avoid corrosion and dents.
How long does it take to manufacture mechanical parts by machining ?
The normal lead time for manufacturing is 1 month, it can be a little longer if complex tooling have to be made or shorter with extra costs.
Times of shipment of the parts is not included, for air shipment you have to add 3 to 5 days and for see shipment 1,5 month to Europe or US.
