Quote a Swiss-Turned Titanium Medical Pin at 1,000 and 10,000 Pieces (Real Time)

A Ø0.250 × 1.500 in pin with a cross hole and a groove, dropped as a STEP file on quotedpart.com with no account. QuotedPart routes it to the Swiss lathe on its own; then the material is set to Ti-6Al-4V and the RFQ's 1,000 and 10,000 pieces are priced, and compared with a CNC lathe.

Part and inputs
MP-0250, a Ø0.250 × 1.500 in pin with one cross hole and one groove, modeled by QuotedPart for this video to the guide's dimensions (STEP only), dropped as a visitor with no account, at QuotedPart's U.S. default rates.
What it shows
It goes to the Swiss lathe on its own: bar stock, CAM programming, Swiss turn, live tooling, deburr and inspect, with 120 minutes of Swiss setup per lot. In Ti-6Al-4V: $43.46 each at 10. Then $7.87 each at 100, $2.60 each at 1,000, $1.98 each at 10,000. Titanium bar is $0.61 a pin at 1,000 and the rest is mostly Swiss cycle time. On the CNC lathe: $7.66 at 1,000, $6.20 at 10,000.

Transcript

The video's on-screen text, word for word, with the time each line appears.

  1. 0:04A medical pin: Ø0.250 × 1.500 in, one cross hole, one groove. The STEP file is a QuotedPart sample part.
  2. 0:10Quoted on quotedpart.com with no account, in real time.
  3. 0:14Drop the STEP file. The diameters, groove and cross hole are measured from the model.
  4. 0:20Small, slender, with a groove: it goes to the Swiss lathe on its own.
  5. 0:25The routing: bar stock, CAM programming · Swiss turn · Live tooling, 1 feature · Deburr · Inspect. 120 minutes of Swiss setup per lot.
  6. 0:31No material in a STEP file, so 6061 stood in. This pin is Ti-6Al-4V: pick it.
  7. 0:37Titanium bar: $43.46 each at 10. At 10 pieces the Swiss setup is most of the price.
  8. 0:42The RFQ asks for 1,000 and 10,000. Type them, plus 100 to compare.
  9. 0:51$7.87 each at 100, $2.60 each at 1,000, $1.98 each at 10,000.
  10. 0:56At volume the setup almost disappears: titanium bar ($0.61 a pin at 1,000) and Swiss cycle time are the price.
  11. 1:01Compare with a CNC lathe in one click.
  12. 1:06On the CNC lathe: $7.66 at 1,000, $6.20 at 10,000.
  13. 1:10Back to the Swiss for this one.
