Teamcenter Tool Costing fact sheet

A five-page fact sheet on Teamcenter Tool Costing, software for calculating, comparing and documenting the cost of moulds and tools. It addresses two groups: toolmakers who must prepare reliable quotations quickly, and procurement teams who analyse supplier prices and tool spending.

What the document covers

• Parametric and 3D-based cost calculation for single- and multi-component injection moulding, high-pressure die casting, and stamping and bending tools such as progressive and transfer dies
• CAD import from JT, Parasolid, STEP, IGES, Designcenter NX, CATIA and Creo, with identification of cost drivers such as undercuts, ribs, openings, cutting areas and bends
• NX Feature2Cost, which recognises features of plastic and sheet metal parts automatically and passes them to the costing system
• A master database of materials, processes, hourly rates and regular MPOR updates, with an integrated cycle time calculator
• Shadow calculations to validate supplier quotes, and scenario analysis for production location, volume, material and technology changes
• Linking tool and product costs through the bill of materials with Teamcenter Product Costing, and cloud deployment to reduce IT effort

Who it is for

Cost engineers, toolmakers, purchasing and supplier management teams, and product managers in manufacturing who need transparent tooling cost figures early in development.
