Using SolidWorks Costing for Formula SAE and other Design Presentations
Check out this video showing how you can use SolidWorks Costing to obtain an estimate on how much a sheet metal or milled part will cost. This tool is very useful when creating costing reports needed for such competitions as Formula SAE. In the video, a bill of materials is created to show how cost and mass totals can be added; very useful when presenting design ideas.
I hope that this will be helpful when analyzing costs.
