18. SolidWorks Costing: Key Benefits
Key benefits for management, designers/engineers and manufacturers
• For Management and Executives:
• Hit cost targets and maintain healthy profit margins
• Break barriers between manufacturing and design
Ι © Dassault Systèmes Ι Confidential Information Ι
• For Designers, Engineers and Engineering Managers:
• ―Design for Cost‖ upfront, eliminate need to ―Redesign for Cost‖ later
• Make design decisions based on cost of manufacturing a design
• Faster and more repeatable than quotes from external and internal manufacturing
• For Manufacturers:
• ―Instant quotes‖ - not just fast, instantaneous manufacturing quotes for customers
• Much faster than spreadsheets, counting features and other forms of manual quoting
• Much more repeatable and accurate than ―rule of thumb‖ estimates
• Accurate to manufacturing data provided in the customizable templates

23. What is SolidWorks Costing?
Automatic manufacturing cost estimates
• Automatic ―Sheet Metal‖ and ―Machined Part‖ Cost Estimation
• Costs update automatically with every part change
• New in SolidWorks 2012 Professional
Ι © Dassault Systèmes Ι Confidential Information Ι
• What you can do:
• Compare costs to manufacture different designs
• Compare manufacturing vendors and processes
• Compare different materials and thicknesses
• Output detailed cost estimate reports
• Assembly Cost Roll-Up in BOM
• View Costs with Assembly Visualization
• Customizability:
• Default costing templates provided, but can be...
• Easily customized to simulate any manufacturer

24. Benefits of SolidWorks Costing – CBI’s
Design for Cost, speed, repeatability and accuracy of estimates
• For Management and Executives:
• Hit cost targets and maintain healthy profit margins
• Break barriers between manufacturing and design – uses data provided by

manufacturing to determine costs
• For Designers, Engineers and Engineering Managers:
• ―Design for Cost‖ upfront, and eliminate need to ―Redesign for Cost‖ later
• Make design decisions based on cost of manufacturing a design
• Faster and more repeatable than quotes from external and internal manufacturing
• For Manufacturers:
• ―Instant quotes‖ - not just fast, instantaneous manufacturing quotes for customers

25. Why Focus On Cost Estimation?
Our Customers Spend Much of their Time Redesigning for Cost

26. Why Focus on Cost Estimation?
Part Cost Checks During Design Catch Cost Overruns Before Going to Manufacturing
• Advantages of Cost Tracking During Design
• Prevent designs that cost too much to manufacture
• Reduce, or even eliminate, the need to redesign for cost
Ι © Dassault Systèmes Ι Confidential Information Ι
• Traditional Costing Methods
• Historical: Rely on cost data from older designs
• Quotes: Quotes from inside manufacturing department or outside vendors
• Count Features: Tally up part manufacturing ―features‖ (i.e. hole, pocket, chamfer) and
estimate the cost per feature in spreadsheets
• ―Eyeball‖ estimates: ―I’d say about…‖
• Problems with Traditional Costing Methods
• Too slow
• Can’t find the historical cost data
• Too manual, tedious, and error-prone
• Often not repeatable, consistent or accurate
• Too much data to manage
26

27. How Does SolidWorks Costing Work?
Automatic manufacturing cost estimates
• Evaluate part for ―manufacturing‖ processes to make part
• Examples: milled pockets, face
milling, punches, waterjet cut paths, drilled holes
Ι © Dassault Systèmes Ι Confidential Information Ι
• Costing Manager – display of manufacturing processes
• Costing Task Pane – inputs and Cost breakdown
• Costing templates
• Costing data contained in Costing Templates
• Labor & material costs, machining parameters, etc.
• Easily customizable default costing templates
• Special capabilities
Costing Template contains
• Library features can be assigned costs
manufacturing information
• Over-ride any costs manually
• Modify any manufacturing process
• Custom operations: i.e. paint, de-burr, shipping, etc.
• Setup costs and automatic setup determination
• Output reports
• Cost rollup – BOM and Assembly Visualization

29. What Our Customers are Saying about Costing
Allowing customers to fundamentally change the way they work
―The time saved with SolidWorks Costing will permit me to refine the
design further and provide the most economical solution for my
customer.‖ —Kevin Bouwman, Valley Dairy Farm Automation
Ι © Dassault Systèmes Ι Confidential Information Ι
―…SolidWorks Costing …has decreased my time per day spent quoting from 5
hours to about 40 minutes…‖ —Dayne Peruzzi, President PMS
Manufactured Products
―SolidWorks Costing calculates my manufacturing costs automatically while I’m
designing so that I can hit key cost goals … and allows me to spend more time
designing.‖ —Rick Morse, Pearce Processing Systems
