The document provides information for estimating the costs of injection molding parts. It includes calculations for injection time, cooling time, reset time, clamping force, part material cost, processing costs, and mold costs. The total estimated cost per part from the calculations is 59.74 cents. The mold cost estimate includes factors like cavity plate area, part depth, core/cavity manufacturing hours, geometric complexity, surface finish, tolerance levels, and parting plane surface to determine a total mold cost of $7,781.
