• Insert Pick and Place: accounts for labor and overhead costs for picking each non-molded subcomponent (out of a bin, for example), and placing it into the mold or onto an action mechanism. By default, times are based on subcomponent weight and loading method (manual or robotic). Users can configure the cost calculations with the per-Subcomponent setup options Base Load Time, Load time multiplier for handling difficulties, and Load time multiplier for insertion difficulties.

• Insert Injection Molding: models the molding process, including injection of the material, cooling, and ejection of the part, and accounts for labor, overhead, material, and hard tooling costs. Users can configure the cost calculations largely as they would for Injection Molding in the Plastic Molding process group (see User Inputs for Plastic Molding).
