Minimum Manufacturing BOM Cost Summary

(from here, production using Expertise-Embedded Systems can take production to Zero Marginal Cost.

Category Cost range
Core machine $12k – $30k
Tooling & cutters $1.5k – $6k
Grinding + lapping $1k – $5k
Metrology $1.5k – $5k
Test bench $2k – $10k
Initial materials $1k – $3k

Total minimum credible setup:

  • ≈ $20k (absolute low end, aggressive used sourcing, outsourced gear cutting)
  • ≈ $60k (robust, low-friction build with margin for iteration)

This cost envelope supports fabrication and validation of a 2,000 psi continuous external gear pump using a minimal, reproducible, open-source workshop infrastructure.
