Total Tool Material Labor and Misc Services Cost

This is the total tooling cost, including the material and labor cost of the tool and miscellaneous service costs. The formula is as follows:

Total Tool Material Labor & Misc Services Cost = Design Cost + Design Cutter Paths Cost + (Material and Labor Cost + Miscellaneous Services) * Number of Tools Required

The Total Tool Material Labor & Misc Services Cost is a function of the following:

• Design Cost: the cost of mold, surfaces, and electrodes design. See Design Cost.

• Design Cutter Paths Cost: the CNC programming cost for cutter path design. See Design Cutter Paths Cost.

• Material and Labor Cost: the cost of material and labor costs for the tool. See Material and Labor - Total Tool Material Cost and Material and Labor - Total Tool Labor Cost.

• Miscellaneous Services: the costs of duty, freight, heat treating, plating, stress relief, texturing, and tryouts. See Miscellaneous Services Cost.

• Number of Tools Required: the number of mold tools required based off the production volume and tool life. Specified by the setup option Number of Tools.
