How are CNC machining costs calculated?

The cost of CNC machining depends on various factors, including:

Material Cost: Different materials have different costs, with metals generally being more expensive than plastics.

Machining Time: The complexity of the part and the time required to machine it will influence the cost.

Tooling and Setup: The use of specialized tooling and setup time adds to the overall cost.

Volume: Larger production runs tend to reduce the per-unit cost, while small batches have a higher per-unit price.
