Why Do we Need 3D Drawings To Evaluate The Price Of Silicone Products？
When silicone manufacturers receive orders, customers are generally required to provide either 3D drawings or physical samples of the products to be customized. 3D drawings are more convenient. They enable accurate price estimating, mold opening, and production. Why are 3D drawings so important?
When we evaluate the price of silicone products, it is mainly divided into two parts:
1. Mold price
2. Product price
3 factors affect the mold price.
1. Mold Material (common steel types include NAK80, 718, S136...)
2. Mold Size (common sizes are 250*250, 300*300 (unit: mm))
3. The structure of the product
The more cavities a mold has, the higher the mold price.
The product structure is complex, the mold-making process takes a long time, and the mold price is high.
3 factors that affect product unit price
1. Product size
2. Product structure
3. Product order quantity
In short, the price of a product is related to production efficiency.
For example, if a simple structure product is produced 1,000 pieces a day, the unit price is $1.
If a complex structure product is produced 500 pieces a day, the unit price is $1.5.
So how do you know if a product is complex? Will a small structure greatly increase the difficulty of mold making?
That depends on the 3D drawing of the product. The complexity of the product structure has a great impact on the cost and time of production.
3D drawings are tools that allow us to visually observe product structures and are essential for evaluating product prices.
