Really interesting, thanks.
Can you provide ball-park costs - how much was your mold, and how much did you pay for 5,000 units to be made?
Even if just a rough estimate that would be really helpful, thanks.
- iancmceachern 3y agoI'm not the author but tools I've purchased in the past are usually $3-8k for most smaller parts and $15-25k for larger or more complex parts from a lower cost/overseas place and lower volume tools and much more from a US or European shop for a high volume steel tool. Parts are then a few bucks a part or less, depending on size and particular material.
- ahaucnx 3y agoAuthor here. Our mold costs were in the USD 5k - 10k range. Price per plastic part really depends on the weight and the material but you can probably assume USD 1 - 4 per part.
- LastTrain 3y agoThanks. Does that include all of the professional services talked about in the article?
