Introduction “This product’s market price is only 500 yuan, so why is the quote for just a mockup 30,000 yuan?” This is a common question many clients ask. Comparing the prototype budget with the final product price is like comparing the cost of an architect’s blueprint design to the price of a brick. While related, […]
Introduction “An aluminum alloy die-cast housing might only sell for a few hundred yuan on the market, but why does the quote for a CNC metal model alone cost tens of thousands of yuan?” This is a common question among many customers. This enormous price gap is indeed puzzling at first glance. However, directly comparing
Introduction “A vacuum-cast (re-molded) replica is quoted at NT$3,000, but why is the initial model (master mold) quoted at NT$30,000?” This is a common question many clients ask when engaging in small-batch reproduction. Comparing the price of a replica with the budget for the initial model is like comparing the cost of photocopying a document
Introduction “A 3D printed model might only cost a few thousand yuan, but why does the CNC machining quote for the same file cost tens of thousands of yuan?” This is a common question among many customers. Comparing the prices of these two completely different processes is like comparing bus fares to the price of
Why can’t 3D printing prices be used to estimate the budget for CNC model production? Read More »
Introduction “How much does this part cost?” is one of the questions we receive most frequently. In the field of custom model and part manufacturing, price calculation isn’t as straightforward as purchasing standard products. Because each project’s design, materials, and requirements are unique, it’s generally difficult to come up with a consistent, fixed quote. This

Introduction When making models or producing parts, we often ask customers to provide counterpart parts. A counterpart part refers to any existing object with which your newly developed part will need to mate, assemble, or interface. Many customers ask, “I already have accurate 3D drawings, so why do I need a physical counterpart?” Providing counterpart
