Budgeting for production requires precise cost data. Without reliable information on current rates, it is difficult to assess project profitability, choose the right order volume, or compare supplier quotes. Every project has its own specifics, and the final price depends on a range of technical and organisational factors. Below you will find a detailed CNC services price list for 2026, along with a clear explanation of what drives the final cost of machining.
CNC Milling Price List
The cost of CNC milling depends primarily on the material type, geometry complexity, dimensional tolerances, and the time required for programming and machine setup. Indicative rates:
- Hourly rate: from 150 to 400 PLN/h
- Per-part rate: from 5 to 100,000 PLN/pc
- Small parts (from 10×10 mm): from 5 to 200 PLN/pc
- Medium parts (from 100×100 mm): from 1,000 to 10,000 PLN/pc
- Large parts (from 1000×1000 mm): from 20,000 to 100,000 PLN/pc
We offer discounts: 5–15% on orders above 10,000 PLN and 15–30% on orders above 100,000 PLN.
5-Axis CNC Milling Price List
5-axis milling is becoming the industry standard in modern manufacturing. Although the hourly machine rate is higher than conventional milling, this technology machines parts more efficiently — which ultimately balances out the total cost of production. Indicative rates:
- Hourly rate: from 200 to 500 PLN/h
- Per-part rate: from 5 to 100,000 PLN/pc
- Small parts (from 10×10 mm): from 3 to 200 PLN/pc
- Medium parts (from 100×100 mm): from 1,000 to 15,000 PLN/pc
- Large parts (from 1000×1000 mm): from 20,000 to 200,000 PLN/pc
CNC Turning Price List
CNC turning is generally a more affordable option than milling. The price depends mainly on the workpiece diameter, part length, and the complexity of the required operations. Rates increase proportionally with precision requirements. Indicative costs:
- Hourly rate: from 130 to 350 PLN/h
- Per-part rate: from 1 to 50,000 PLN/pc
- Small parts (from 10×10 mm): from 1 to 100 PLN/pc
- Medium parts (from 100×100 mm): from 500 to 5,000 PLN/pc
- Large parts (from 1000×1000 mm): from 10,000 to 50,000 PLN/pc
Laser Cutting Price List
Laser cutting is typically priced per linear metre or per part. The cost depends primarily on material thickness and type. Estimated costs:
- Hourly rate: from 120 to 250 PLN/h
- Per-part rate: from 1 to 10,000 PLN/pc
- Small parts (from 10×10 mm): from 1 to 100 PLN/pc
- Medium parts (from 100×100 mm): from 200 to 2,000 PLN/pc
- Large parts (from 1000×1000 mm): from 3,000 to 10,000 PLN/pc
CNC Engraving Price List
The cost of CNC engraving depends mainly on the surface area and the technology used. Indicative rates:
- Hourly rate: from 130 to 250 PLN/h
- Per-part rate: from 1 to 10,000 PLN/pc
- Small parts (from 10×10 mm): from 1 to 50 PLN/pc
- Medium parts (from 100×100 mm): from 200 to 1,000 PLN/pc
- Large parts (from 1000×1000 mm): from 2,000 to 5,000 PLN/pc
What Affects the Price of CNC Services?
Every quote is built on four key pillars:
- Material type — aluminium machines quickly and cheaply, while hardened steel, Inconel, or titanium require significantly more time, specialised tooling, and higher cutting costs. Plastics are generally easier to machine but require care to avoid melting or deformation.
- Order volume — larger quantities mean lower unit costs and the possibility of negotiating attractive discounts.
- Project complexity — the simpler the part and the fewer operations required, the lower the price. Multi-operation parts or those requiring multiple setups are more expensive.
- Tolerances — tighter dimensional precision means higher machining, tooling, and quality control costs.
Additional costs may include finishing operations (deburring, polishing, grinding), heat treatment (hardening, nitriding), and protective coatings (electroplating, anodising, powder coating).
One-Off vs. Series Production — How Does Quantity Affect Price?
Setup costs — design, programming, and machine configuration — are fixed regardless of how many parts are produced. In one-off production, these costs are absorbed entirely by a single part, which can push the unit price into the hundreds. Series production spreads these costs across the entire order, reducing the unit price by hundreds of percent. This is one of the strongest arguments for planning production in advance and ordering in larger batches.
How Does Cost Calculation Work at a Professional CNC Company?
At Maximus CNC, every quote begins with a thorough analysis of technical documentation — engineering drawings, 3D models, and material specifications. Based on this, we determine the number and type of operations required, select the appropriate machines and tooling, and calculate all costs: setup (programming and configuration), materials (procurement and transport), machining, and any additional operations. The final quote also includes order handling, quality control, and margin.
