Cost Analysis
The Easy Breathe mask is inexpensive to manufacture, costing approximately $24.00 to $25.00 per mask when produced in bulk. The estimate cost for the mechanical design is $11.50, and the cost for the PCB & assembly components are $12.70 each for a quantity of 10 masks. By selling our product at $40.00, the sale price is kept as low as possible while returning a profit of $15.00. Compared to existing solutions on the market which are $50.00 to $70.00, the Easy Breathe mask is much more accessible.
Future Work
Future work will be finding methods to reduce the cost of the PCB.
