Costing for Plastic

SOLIDWORKS Costing supports plastics.

To cost plastics, the SOLIDWORKS Costing software:
  • Analyzes the volume of the part for material cost.
  • Determines the time required to complete a cycle, including heating, injecting, cooling, and ejecting the part.
Due to cost variance, you provide the cost of tooling (or the mold) directly.
There are two runner systems available:
  • Hot runner mold
  • Cold runner mold
Presets are defined in the template for each type of runner system.
SOLIDWORKS Costing determines:
  • Cost of material
  • Cost of manufacturing
  • Cost of mold (based on user input)
