Labor Cost – Tool Trode Certification CMM = CMM Time Hours * CMM Rate
CMM Time Hours: This is the time for tool inspection. It is calculated as (part Surface Area / Coordinate Measuring Rate):
Surface Area: This is the Surface Area property of the part, visible in the Geometric Cost Drivers panel.
Coordinate Measuring Rate: aPriori performs a lookup in the cmToolMachiningRates table and returns the Rate corresponding to Coordinate Measuring.
CMM Rate: This is the rate for tool inspection. It is specified in the Digital Factory tool shop under Plastic Molding > Processes > Compression Molding > Tool Shops > Default > CM Mrate.
