Engineering notes

Included

  • Material (part + runner waste).
  • Machine time per part (cycle ÷ cavities).
  • Tooling amortization over volume × years.
  • Markup / overhead.
  • Markup applied as price = cost × (1 + markup%). For a gross-margin target of X%, use markup ≈ X / (100 − X) (e.g. 25% margin ≈ 33% markup).

Excluded

  • Inspection / packaging / secondary ops.
  • Freight from Asia. Add $0.05–$0.30 / part.
  • Volume discounts on resin (often 10–25% off list).
