Chamfer vs fillet

How do you choose between chamfering or filleting a sharp corner. Are there any factors to consider besides flipping a coin?

Chamfers generally are more forgiving when fitting mating parts.
Beyond those concerns, atmax is right.

General consensus around my place is that chamfer is a bit cheaper.
Of course, senior management, industrial designers etc ten to prefer fillets.

I don't have first hand experience, just reiterating something I read.
RE: Chamfer vs fillet
Sometimes chamfers are easier to produce other times rads are. For example a milled pocket with chamfers is a real no no.
The same applies to wire erosion, laser cutting, water jet etc you will always get a rad so with a chamfer you still get two rads on that chamfer on internal corners.
