Die Cast Part Costs- Overview
The cost of an injection-moulded part consists of;
1. tooling (or mould) cost, Kd/N
2. processing cost (or equipment operating
cost) Ke
3. part material cost, Km
Total Cost of a Part = Kd/N + Ke + Km
N is the number of parts to be produced with the
mould
Cd = 0.2 + 0.8
Cdc =CbCsCt
Reference Part
 The reference part in this case is an
aluminum die casting, a washer, whose OD
- 65 mm and ID - 55 mm, and whose
thickness is 2 mm.
