Im making my tesis about a pilot plant that use this proces and i having some troubles to obtain information about economics like: Typical production of an small plant (im trying to design a small workshop that produce only 40 tons/anual). Average price for typical pieces. I know that in investment casting this is so variable. Please help!
Competing against the far east is a losing proposition. I highly recommend reading this. >>>>>>>>> https://www.amazon.com/Poorly-Made-China-Insiders-Production/dp/0470928077 Thanks to certain leaders about 30years ago, they sold your kids future down the gutter. As long as this thing holds together another 30-40 years, I shouldn't give a rats ass what happens. I have a feeling it won't. Funny how a guy like me actually cares about your kids future, yet I'm the misogynistic a-hole.
My business model for around 15 years was: Get a wacko lighting designer to create some amazing unique (all his own work of course) light unit for a major project. Prototype and prove it quickly and get it into spec. Price it at 80% profit on cost after overheads Increase the price each time a little change was made in the specification Watch from a distance as wholesaler buying teams eventually gave up trying to find an alternative to the detailed unique specification. Just a shame I made a lot of money for other people doing that.
I love the tips and advices of this thread. Please keep going. Can you recommend me a site where i can import stats of investment casting?
