Frequently, a change in materials will affect the design and processing costs, and shipping costsmay also be altered.Care should be taken in making economic selections between materials to ensure that anydifferences in shipping costs, yields, or resulting scrap are taken into account. Commonly, alternativematerials do not come in the same stock sizes, such as sheet sizes and bar lengths. This may considerablyaffect the yield obtained from a given weight of material. Similarly, the resulting scrap may differ forvarious materials.In addition to deciding what material a product should be made of, there are often alternativemethods or machines that can be used to produce the product, which, in turn, can impact processingcosts. What could be the factors affecting the cost of materials that one should consider?
