Programming Costs

[Mike Riffel]

Just a question, what does it cost to have programming performed by a company that specializes in PCDMIS?

That depends alot on where you are and if they have any competition. Myself, and others I have used before are generally 55 - 65 per hour here in the Illinois / Wisconsin area.

I believe it runs anywhere from $75.00 to as much as $105.00 depending on the complexity of the part also the outfit you're sending it to. Some will also charge an Hour min. plus setup.

For example:

Print with say 200 dims (multiples included) -
200 * 4 minutes = 800 minutes
800 / 60 = 13.3 Hours
13.3 * say $75.00 = $997.50

So you can see it's can be costly - use this to justify CMM purchase.

Good Luck.
