Hello, I am a student working on a nasa project where i am commercializing a nasa patent. My patent is a specific type of ceramic coating I want to apply in the medical field. I am currently trying to price out competitors but they do not want to give me much information. I was wondering if anyone on here knows what some of these companies might charge to coat smaller tools, like operating room tools. Companies like a1 medical, precision coating, calico coatings, and surgical coatings.
I hope this is appropriate to ask here. Thank you in advance.
Hello Fiona.
If we are talking about thin coatings (CVD or PVD), then you can see prices for coating metal cutting tools (drills, cutters, taps, etc.). Such prices are indicated in the price-lists of companies that make coating. Usually, price is set individually for certain type of instrument, according to principle, not at a loss, but as you agree. Moreover, you are also your own - you are part of group producers. This is not only question of price, but also question of belonging to the group of tool manufacturers.
Hope my answer was helpful.
