Tooling
Total progressive die tooling cost can be specified with the PSO Total Progressive Die Tooling Cost or calculated as follows: Hard Tooling Cost = Number of Die Stations *
(Average Material Cost per Die Station + Average Labor Cost per Die Station)
The values in this formula are estimated based on geometric inputs such as number of holes and forms, flat pattern blank area, and the number of holes, bends, and forms requiring side actions. See
Tooling Calculation for more information.
