Bead Blast and Sand Blast Formulas

All costs for these processes are included in additional direct costs. Cycle time, labor time are 0.

Additional Direct Costs = Bead Blast Cost / Final Yield

Additional direct costs depend on the following:

• Bead blast cost (see the formula below)

Bead Blast Cost = {

Minimum Batch Cost / Batch Size, if Batch Size * Part Weight < Minimum Batch Weight

Part Weight * Unit Weight Cost, otherwise}

Bead blast cost depends on the following:

• Minimum batch cost (specified by the machine property Min Batch Cost)

• Batch size (specified in Production Scenario information)

• Part weight (product of part volume and material density, for non-assemblies)

• Minimum batch weight (specified by the machine property Min Batch Weight)

• Unit weight cost (specified by the machine property Unit Weight Cost)
