When the designer designs a new product and directly opens the mold for production, the cost is relatively high.And large molds are worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of RMB. If unreasonable structure or other problems are found in the process of mold opening, the loss can be imagined. But the prototype production can avoid this loss, reduce the risk of mold. Since the cost of prototype is much lower than the mold, then how much does it cost to make a prototype?
Since the prototype is produced in a customized way, the price is not the same. For example, even if two robot prototype are the same size, their different shapes and appearances will lead to different prices. In order to know the approximate price of the prototype, the following factors need to be considered:
1, Depend on the size of the processed product, the larger the size of the processing, the more materials used, the price will naturally be relatively higher;
2.Depend on the complexity of the product structure, the more complex, the more time used;
3.Depend on the material used to make the prototype. Different materials will lead to different prices;
4.Depend onThe surface treatment technology used to prototype making. The more post-treatment, the higher the price;
5.Whether the price includes tax, transportation, etc.;
The price of prototype is not determined by one of the above factors, but to refer to the several above factors.Therefore, to find out the cost of the prototype you want to make, you need to send 3D drawings, materials and post-processing technology。The engineer will give the quotation according to the drawing and referring to these factors.
