The SolidWorks Costing tool helps you calculate how much it costs to manufacture sheet metal, machined, and multibody parts by automating the cost estimation and quotation process.
Contents
With Costing, you can calculate how much it costs to manufacture multibody parts.
You can set the input values for determining the cost of manufacturing a sheet metal, machined, or custom part from the Costing Task Pane on the right side of the SolidWorks software window.
You can create reports of Costing results. The detailed line items in the report help you determine the impact of design decisions on cost.
You can add Costing information to a part's file properties in the Summary Information dialog box.
You can remove Costing information from parts if you want to send a file to a colleague or customer without the Costing data associated with it.
