Tooling companies need to deliver high-quality mold and stamping tools and at the same time reduce production costs and shorten delivery times. Cost calculation in tool and mold making is an important basis for competitiveness and is an extreme challenge for the lot size of one. Since toolmaking companies are characterized by a one-off production, the challenges are even higher. Many toolmakers use rough calculations, including estimates by experienced staff, as a common costing support. The goal should be to significantly reduce deviations from the budget and to eliminate large fluctuations to close life-threatening financing gaps.
Our tool cost management solution helps the tooling manufacturer to calculate a realistic bid to maximize profits instead of loss due to miscalculations by enabling a parametric calculation of various tool technologies such as injection molding, high pressure die-casting, progressive die stamping, laser cutting, and others. With tool cost management, tooling manufacturers improve business processes and avoiding inaccurate quotations which can result in unwanted lengthy delivery time and even loss.
Explore the key areas of this solution.
React quicker to changes in product design, material, and manufacturing processes by obtaining BOM information and visible 3D data directly from the PLM system for product and tool cost calculations.
Represent the entire price structure of your products to allow cost engineers to see the impact of development related changes on the price at any time and identify the cost drivers early in the development process where the cost of change is minimized.
Predict future tool costs and prices over the entire product lifecycle to determine the profitability of projects as well as compare company projects and programs to make the best investment decisions.
