Price Ranges for Metal Conversion

Metal conversion processes, such as metal fabrication, machining, and casting, can vary significantly in price depending on factors such as the type of metal being worked with, the complexity of the project, and the quantity of parts being produced.

Here are some general price ranges for common metal conversion processes:

1. Metal Fabrication:

   • Simple projects: $50 to $500 per hour
   • Complex projects: $500 to $1,000+ per hour

2. CNC Machining:

   • Basic parts: $50 to $200 per hour
   • Complex parts: $200 to $500+ per hour

3. Metal Casting:

   • Sand casting: $500 to $2,500 per mold
   • Investment casting: $1,000 to $5,000+ per mold

These are rough estimations and actual prices may vary significantly based on specific project requirements, material costs, and the expertise of the service provider. It's recommended to obtain quotes from multiple vendors to compare prices and services.
