Set the input values for determining the cost of manufacturing a single-body plastic part from the Costing Task Pane.
Plastic
You can choose default templates for the part type.
% of Total Cost
Increases the cost of manufacturing based on a percentage of the total cost.
% of Material Cost
Increases the cost of manufacturing based on a percentage of the material cost.
Click Set Baseline to set a baseline cost for comparison. If you change the design later on, the cost is compared to the baseline cost. When you set a baseline cost, any changes to the part are considered Current and the difference is displayed. While the baseline price is set, the part is rotated, flattened, and refolded because the software is capturing images for the Costing report.
Material
Cost of the material based on the weight of the material used.
Manufacturing
Total processing cost, including cuts, bends, forming tools, and additional operations.
Markup or Discount
Adjustment specified in Markup/Discount.
