How can I reduce my manufacturing costs?
Use popular materials and check the pricing on different types.
Harder materials (e.g. steel and stainless steel) are usually more expensive than softer materials (e.g. aluminum, plastic, etc.).
Use 2D parts made from sheet material instead of 3D parts made from block material. Stack 2D parts or bend to make 3D shapes.
Instead of machining text use silk screening or labeling.
Make parts multi-functional to reduce part types.
Increase quantity to reduce cost per part.
Use the loosest applicable tolerance.
Use common and simple finishes. Avoid multiple finishes. Use a material that does not require an extra finish process.
Create multiple parts as one object and specify to saw them apart as a secondary process. Note: dimension changes may need to be changed to account for kerf width.
Convert single complex parts into multiple simpler parts that are fit together. For example, to create a large disk with a thin rod protruding from the center you can use piece or design the disk and rod separately. To do it in one piece requires starting with a large block of material and can use ten times as much material compared to making the rod and disk separately.
Tap holes no deeper than three times the diameter when the hole and bolt are the same material (deeper usually adds no strength and can substantially increase cost).
