The document provides guidance on estimating costs for metal tooling and parts production. It outlines the different types of tooling used in the process, including for blanking, cutting, deburring, bending, folding, and progressive tooling. The document then explains how to calculate costs for the tooling materials, manufacturing, accessories, assembly, and design. It also provides guidance on estimating costs for single part production, including materials, accessories, manufacturing, transport, and profit. The overall aim is to help estimate metal tooling and part costs and facilitate negotiations with vendors.

Purpose
First of all; I would like to thank for Jamie’s efforts, she collected all of
cost data during working here; I just take advantage of her data to
integrate my experiences into this metal estimation.
This is a general principle, it can help colleagues know how to estimate
for the Metal Tooling and Part, as well as bargain with vendors easily.
