17 Plastic Molding Process Group
This section describes the costing details and inputs that are available for the following three members of the Plastic Molding process group: Injection Molding (IM), Structural Foam Molding (SFM), and Reaction Injection Molding (RIM). For these processes, aPriori estimates manufacturing times and costs for single-shot, molded parts (including cost estimates for manufacturing the required mold). The routing can include secondary surface treatment and packaging processes (if you have licensed these modules). A future release will support secondary machining processes on molded parts
