hi,

have you tried your board fabricator?  this is how they do their pricing, and i've found that they are willing to share ratios if not absolute costs.

Subject: [TN] Raw Card Cost Matrix.


I'm trying to design a costing matrix for raw cards so our designers can
estimate the costs of their raw card designs, this will hopefully slow
down their lust for technology and get them considering project budget
costs. Does anyone know of where I can access this information so I know
a basic cost / sq. inch and then add percentage costs for extra layers,
different surface finishes, impedance control, extra drilled holes and
if I use buried via's. Any information will be gratefully received.

Thanks.

Steve Brown.

Xyratex.
