Fast quotation method of mould base based on tool paths
In the cost composition of the mould base,processing fees are difficult to estimate accu-rately.Among the processing fees,the costs of cavity machining and hole machining account for the largest proportion.Therefore,accurately estimating the costs of cavity machining and hole ma-chining is crucial for providing precise mould frame quotations.It used NX secondary development technology to analyze the machining tool paths of the mould base model,and then estimated the costs of roughing,semi-roughing,semi-finishing,and finishing operations according to the ma-chining sequence.By identifying and categorizing hole types in the model,it achieved the estima-tion of hole machining costs.Based on these efforts,a set of mould base quotation software has been developed.
