Costs


Project costs may vary greatly when using CNC milling.

  • The initial cost of the equipment is quite high.

 

  • Once that is considered, there are numerous other variables that can affect the cost of milling.

 

  • There are costs for programming the machine as well as for the use of computer time.

 

  • The materials and the design complexity dictate the cost most dramatically.

 

  • Some other factors include preventative and ongoing maintenance of the CNC milling equipment.
