WHAT THIS SCREEN ANSWERS
Machining and casting differ in fixed cost, unit cost, geometry, material, tooling, yield, and revision risk. The screen compares transparent total-cost assumptions at entered volume. A credible early estimate makes its basis easy to challenge.
Part geometry, machining allowance, porosity, yield, quality, lead time, tooling, revisions, and supplier capability can govern. Confirm actual drawings, quotes, yield, quality plan, tooling, lead time, revision risk, and supplier review. This is where a catalogue value alone can mislead.
Machining and casting differ in fixed cost, unit cost, geometry, material, tooling, yield, and revision risk. Part geometry, machining allowance, porosity, yield, quality, lead time, tooling, revisions, and supplier capability can govern. Use actual project values instead of borrowing an unnamed catalog condition.
The screen compares transparent total-cost assumptions at entered volume. Confirm actual drawings, quotes, yield, quality plan, tooling, lead time, revision risk, and supplier review. The decision remains specific to this application because machining and casting differ in fixed cost, unit cost, geometry, material, tooling, yield, and revision risk. Document what was assumed before the concept becomes a release.
