Number of Lifters, Inserts and Unscrewing Mechanism
With the PSOs listed below, the user can specify the number of lifters, inserts, and unscrewing mechanisms to be included in the cost estimate. These values contribute to tooling costs. (The GCD-driven injection molding model, in contrast, analyzes part geometry to determine the quantity and size of any required actions.)
These PSOs are associated with the routing node Injection Molding:
Number of Lifters
Number of Rib Inserts
Number of Grill Inserts
Number of Unscrewing Mechanisms (to relieve threads)
The cost model estimates the size of each of these types of action based on part dimensions.
Note that slides are handled differently—see Undercut Depths.
