When you use CNC machining for prototypes, costs can change. The price depends on the material, how hard the part is to make, and how exact the measurements need to be. For example, if you use standard tolerances like ±0.1mm, the price stays low. But if you need very tight tolerances (less than ±0.01mm), the cost can be up to ten times higher.
