Mold Design Menu: Mold Quote Tools

Access: Invoke this group of functions from the following location:

Select Mold Design > Mold Quote from the menu bar. Select the required function.

This consists of a group of functions designed to create data within Cimatron to be used later when generating quoting data.

The functions in this guide are listed in a logical order to represent the operations required to guide you through the initial mold quote process (within Cimatron), from start to finish.

Cimatron's Quoting Tools help mold makers with the quoting process. The tools streamline quoting for moldmakers, calculating cost estimates and to create the quote. The tools incorporate a report generator to produce the final quote.

Mold Quoting within Cimatron

Using the Quoting Preference setup defaults together with the Mold Quote functions within Cimatron, enables the quoting application to accurately reflect project costs as there is full data integration between the quoting tool and work undertaken in Cimatron.

The following functions are available in this group:

	Assign Component	Assign predefined attributes to selected plates or components, according to their role.
	Components	Define plates, components, and inserts.
	Component Drilling	Define the required drilling machining depth and time by calculating the total required drilling depth on defined holes, based on Diameter groups.
	Component Surface Milling	Define the required surface milling machining area and time according to whether plates or inserts require milling, the required milling strategies (rough or finish), and the stock material (of the selected component).
	Component Volume Milling	Define the required volume milling machining and time according to whether plates or inserts require milling, the required milling strategies (rough or finish), and the stock material (of the selected component).
	Component Wire-EDM	Define the required Wire-EDM machining time by calculating the total required length for Wire-EDM machining based on selected predefined contours.
	Electrodes	Define the required Electrodes machining and also their burning areas. These electrodes are to be milled and are therefore priced according to the required milling strategies of rough and finish, and by the required stock material.
	Generate Report	Generate a report to produce the final quote.
	Save BOM Data	Save the BOM purchase list and general data in the Cimatron main assembly ELT file.
