CUSTOM EDC GEAR

Custom EDC gear is an emerging trend in the world of everyday carry, providing a unique way to customize and personalize your EDC items. But how much does it cost to make custom EDC gear? The answer depends on the complexity of the item, the materials used, and the machining and manufacturing costs. With careful planning and budgeting, custom EDC gear can be made at a reasonable cost which usually range $2.00 ~ $6.00, and take a look what effect the product unit cost to find out solution to save cost for your custom part projects.

1. raw material cost is different between titanium & steel, the titanium material cost is 10 times higher than steel, and titanium is much difficult to be machined than steel material which means its manufacturing cost is much higher with a same design.
2. complexity deisgn (geometry) requires more advanced machine such as 4-axis cnc and 5-axis cnc and takes longer machining time to finish a EDC gear, especially curved surface.
3. surface treatment could be an element for the EDC gear cost, because some surface treatment is expensive such as PVD coating.
4. quantity is always the key element for the custom EDC gear unit cost, because every manufacturing process has set up cost, and the manufacturing cost will keep going down as the quantity increasing, we usually set up different prices with different quantities: 1~20pcs; 20~100pcs; 100~500pcs; 500~1000pcs; 1000~5000pcs and more.
