Enter material, geometry, quantity, coating, tooling, testing, and lead time. The tool returns a budgetary unit-price band, uncertainty flags, and the next RFQ action.
Arc magnet price is best handled as a scoped budget band with explicit evidence gaps. The table below gives the decision summary behind the estimator.
The tool uses deterministic rules: arc volume, material family, grade band, quantity scale, coating/test evidence, tooling status, and lead-time pressure. Unknowns widen the band instead of pretending precision.
These are budget-model inputs, not market price promises. They explain why a ferrite, NdFeB, SmCo, or Alnico arc can produce very different quote behavior.
The estimator uses source categories rather than copying supplier prices. Public catalog pages prove price visibility for standard items; supplier and standards pages explain why custom prices need evidence.
The estimator now separates public evidence from internal budget logic. Use the verified signals to shape RFQs, and treat the boundaries as places where supplier confirmation is mandatory.
A catalog price, custom RFQ, and engineering-review budget are different buying paths. Mixing them creates false savings.
The estimator is useful when assumptions are visible. It is not valid when commercial, geometry, or validation requirements are hidden.
Use the tool result differently depending on whether you are buying a prototype SKU, launching a pilot RFQ, or entering engineering review.
If any field is unknown, mark it explicitly. Suppliers can then quote assumptions instead of silently filling gaps.
