As a leading CNC machining service provider, AOOM Technology understands that cost is a critical factor when sourcing precision mold components. This guide breaks down the key elements influencing CNC mold processing prices to help you make informed procurement decisions.
Factors Determining CNC Mold Processing Costs
1. Material Selection: Aluminum molds typically cost 30-50% less than hardened steel due to faster machining times.
2. Complexity: Multi-cavity molds with undercuts or thin walls require specialized tooling, increasing costs by 20-40%.
3. Tolerances: Tight tolerances below ±.01mm may double machining time versus standard ±.05mm requirements.
