Abstract
The cost to produce products involves many different categories such as materials and equipment, method of purchasing materials and equipment, additives used, and fabricating costs (Fig.9-1). All these factors have a direct effect on a designed product even though the designer is not involved in most of them. However it could very easily influence the expected initial cost that the designer had to include in the design evaluation. As experience tells one, cost of material can be very variable.
