How Costing Works
Pricing depends on material type, geometry, and surface prep. Complex multi-layer plating with nickel, copper, and chrome is based on layer count and thickness. Added value comes from chrome plating thickness measurement and mechanical polishing. Volume and turnaround time also affect pricing—bulk orders gain better rates. Manufacturers receive structured Support during FAI and ramp readiness.
