This section describes the costing details and inputs that are available for User Guided Injection Molding (IM). For this process, 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). Since this is not a GCD-driven cost model, cost estimates are not based on a CAD model and geometry extraction; rather, basic geometric inputs (such as part dimensions and undercut depths) are provided by the user. See User Guided Costing for an introduction to user-guided costing. See Plastic Molding Process Group for the GCD-driven IM cost model.
