How to calculate the price of ABS prototype model

In the prototype industry, there are many processing methods for ABS prototypes, including CNC machining, 3d printing and vacuum re-molding, etc, and the calculation price of each processing method is also different. If the customer needs to quote separately according to several processing methods, several different results will be reported. The following extension model will explain for you how the price of these three ways to process ABS prototypes is calculated.

if the ABS prototype is CNC machining, the price calculation method is calculated according to the materials used and the required working hours, which has little to do with the complexity of the prototype, but the more complex the prototype will increase the working hours of processing. Therefore, it is more cost-effective to CNC machining those large and simple prototypes.

if 3d printing is used processing ABS prototype, its price is calculated by weight. For now, the ABS prototype is about 10 yuan and 1 gram using a medical-grade 3d printer, the processing of industrial-grade 3d printers is about 8 yuan and 1 gram, while the desktop level is about 3 yuan and 1 gram. However, the larger the size of the prototype, the greater the weight, so the higher the price, generally more than 300mm of the things printed out is more expensive, as shown in the figure below this helmet prototype, it takes thousands of yuan to print it out.

if your ABS prototype is made with a vacuum complex die, the way it is calculated is another matter. Before the compound mold ABS prototype, you need to make a prototype by CNC machining or 3d printing, and then use this prototype to make a silicone mold, then batch copy. So the price of the ABS prototype compound mold = the price of the prototype silicone mold the price of the prototype copied out. Sometimes, after the re-mold is finished, the customer will ask us to send him the silicone mold, so we will be happy to send it to him. After all, the price of the silicone mold has been calculated in the total price.

The above is introduced to you the price of ABS prototypes of three different processing methods, hope to help you.
