Abstract: An estimation system for estimating an injection-molding related cost comprises an input unit, storage, a data processing unit, and an output unit. The storage stores a mold estimation function for each of cost items of a mold used to produce a molded product, and a mold estimation reference value table for recording mold estimation reference values in association with prescribed conditions. The data processing unit acquires a fabrication condition of the molded product through the input unit, reads the mold estimation function and one of the mold estimation reference values from the storage corresponding to the fabrication condition, and estimates a cost of the mold based on the mold estimation function and the selected mold estimation reference value. The output unit outputs a mold cost estimation result made by the data processing unit.

Abstract: A part cost estimation system including a processing cost information storage device; a shape designating device configured to designate the shape of the part; a processing designating device configured to designate contents of processing to be performed on a material to form the part having the designated shape; a processing facility designating device configured to designate a processing facility; a processing time calculating device configured to calculate a processing time; a processing cost calculating device configured to calculate a processing cost spent on manufacturing the part based on a unit machining cost and the processing cost calculated by the processing time calculating device; and an adding device configured to add the processing cost to determine a cost of the part.

Abstract: A die modification estimate system comprises a first unit which acquires contents of modification of a die specified by using an input unit. A second unit reads respective reference values for cost estimation, according to the specified contents of the die modification, from a storage unit. A third unit reads respective estimate functions of cost items according to the specified contents of the die modification, from the storage unit. A fourth unit calculates an estimated cost of each of the cost items based on a corresponding one of the reference values and a corresponding one of the estimate functions. A fifth unit stores the estimated costs in the storage unit. A sixth unit calculates a total amount of the estimated costs read from the storage unit. A seventh unit outputs the total amount of the estimated costs to an output unit.

Abstract: An estimation system has a storage unit which stores an estimation function for calculating a unit component price of a harness based on a designated processing condition, an input unit which acquires the processing condition from an estimation requester, and a control unit which calculates the unit component price of the harness based on the processing condition designated by the estimation requester and the estimation function read out from the storage unit, and stores the calculated unit component price in the storage unit.
