Entry-level CNC laser cutting machines: Costing from $20,000 to $50,000, they work well for cutting materials like metal, plastic, and wood with precision. Mid-range CNC laser cutting machines: Priced between $50,000 and $200,000, these offer advanced laser cutting capabilities and versatility.

The most expensive CNC machines are the 6-axis and 5-axis robotic CNCs used in manufacturing high-end military equipment and cost millions of dollars.

Machine Time On average, running a CNC machine costs $125 to $250 per hour, but this depends on the machine's original cost of the CNC machine, the machine type (number of axes) and expected annual production time. Additionally, a run could take minutes or days. That timing depends on the part and requirements.

For PVC CNC cutting design, the cost usually varies from ₹665/sq. ft. to ₹1,485/sq.
