SOLIDWORKS Costing

Contents

• New Methods for Costing
  

  You can use SOLIDWORKS Costing to cost plastics, castings, 3D printed parts, and weldments.

• Access to Costing Defaults
  

  You can set default values for your specific needs and prepopulate the task pane, which will streamline the costing process and improve the efficiency of getting your results.

• Body Types for Multibody Parts
  

  When using Costing for multibody parts, you set the manufacturing method to any of the supported methods.

• Costing Sensors
  

  You can use costing sensors to track material, manufacturing, and total part cost, and set an alert if cost exceeds a value.

• Costing Template Improvements
  

  The costing templates have been expanded and contain additional information, and they are easier to update.

• Custom Stock Bodies in Machined Parts
  

  When using Costing for machined parts, you can select a custom stock body, either a configuration of the current part or an imported stock body. With custom stock bodies, you can calculate the cost of imported geometry, for example, machined castings.
