Medical Devices Prototyping & Custom Parts

The cost of medical device prototyping and custom parts depends on a variety of factors, such as the complexity of the design, the type of materials used, and the machining and manufacturing processes involved. The cost can range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. Furthermore, it is important to consider additional costs such as shipping, taxes, and any additional services that may be required. By taking all these factors into account, manufacturers can determine an accurate estimate for their medical device prototyping & custom parts production costs.

With careful planning and budgeting, custom medical device parts can be made at a reasonable cost which usually range $150 for 1~5pcs to start and 10~30$ for 50~100pcs mass production orders , 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 stainless steel & titanium & tungsten, the tungsten material cost is higher than titanium and stainless steel, and tungsten is more difficult to be machined than stainless steel material, so tungsten material parts are higher cost to be machined per unit.
2. complexity deisgn (geometry) requires more advanced machine such as milling / turnining machine or 4-5 axis machines and takes longer machining time to finish a fastener, especially curved surface or irregular thread.
3. surface treatment could be an element for the custom part product cost, because some surface treatment is expensive such as PVD coating.
4. quantity is always the key element for the custom MEDICAL DEVICE PART 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: 1~10pcs; 10~50pcs; 50~100pcs; 100~500pcs; 500~1000pcs and more.
