Estimate, Part and Process Data

The estimate begins with the request for quote information. Part and process data are added in logical order. A die sketch pad is included for capturing measurements. DieEstimator calculates punch and die quanities, number of stations, and all information needed to estimate the die.

Apply Die Construction Standards

DieEstimator is the only commercial application with this feature. Die construction standards have a substantial affect on die price. Custom construction standards can be added based on your customer's requirements.

Calculate

DieEstimator calculates all die size and machining requirements to build the die. Results can be reviewed and modified if desired. The die requirements are compared to saved press specification to ensure proper shut height is used. Custom shut heights can be entered.

Price Die

The final step creates a detailed material, labor and profit estimate based on stand cost. Cost are grouped by die component category.
