How is the cost of prototyping calculated?

there is no uniform standard for the cost of prototyping, the cost of prototype production is affected by the size of the product, the organization, the complexity and some surface treatment processes. Some may be able to do it in thousands of yuan, and some must be tens of thousands of yuan. Although the price of the prototype model is not fixed, there is still a way to calculate it. Let's introduce it in detail.

1. Material cost: different prototypes need different materials in the process of prototype model making, some plastic materials are more common, such as ABS, which is cheaper, while some materials are more troublesome to obtain, such as PPS materials, relatively speaking, the price will be higher. In addition, in addition to the material, the size of the prototype will also affect the price of the material. The larger the size, the more raw materials are needed for the prototype, so the higher the price, this is related to the 3d drawings provided by the customer.

2. Salary of employees: Under normal circumstances, the prototype appearance that the customer wants to do is more complicated and the surface treatment process is more, which will make the prototype production cycle longer, and the corresponding labor cost will be higher. Compared with the labor cost, the material cost will be minimal. Under normal circumstances, the prototype master's salary is more than 30 hours, and it takes 40 yuan an hour to be proficient. It is conceivable how high the cost of working hours is, no wonder many people in the industry say that the cost of making prototypes is spent on Labor.

3. Profit: the prototype industry is an industry that is not standardized, so the profit is controlled by the boss. The same piece, you give ten factories, the price quoted is different.

to sum up, the production cost of the prototype model = the salary profit of the material cost employee, I believe that after understanding these, it can help you.
