How not to miss the budget for the mass production of buildings: 20 examples from the practice of the Bureau of Engineering Design

    The publication of only two articles on how to self-assess the cost of production casing for the device ( first and second ) raised the simple wave of a series of inquiries "But how much will it cost our body with a circulation 5-100-1000- ∞ pieces?"

    As it turns out in the course of communication, the majority of the requestor is mistaken in estimating the cost of production on the order . I'm not kidding.

    However, I could not write a simple instruction (or even simpler to make a calculator) on estimating these costs: for this you will have to take into account too many parameters. Therefore, I will simply show with examples the circulation and price. Yes, you can not accurately assess your project, but it will be clear how much money you need - 100,000 rubles, a million or more.

    And if you write in the comments exactly what interests you, I will try to answer with examples: I have a lot of them (from) a great number - from the cases of miniature devices to the cases of machines the size of a house.

    I will repeat it, because it is important: a simple comparison (“Oh, I have almost the same case, which means it will cost the same!”) on the price. This includes the presence of marks in the mold, and inclines, and unclipped welds, etc. But you can roughly estimate. :)
