*2.3. Costing Model for Injection Molding Parts*

In the present study, the calculation of the costs for manufacturing a part utilizing injection molding technologies is performed as indicated in Equation (2):

$$\mathbf{C\_{IM}} = \mathbf{C\_{E}} + \mathbf{C\_{TOL}} + \mathbf{C\_{L}} + \mathbf{C\_{MAT}} \tag{2}$$

where:


In this costing model, CE and CL are function of the processing time required, and CMAT is function of the material weight utilized.
