Notes:
To satisfy the increasing requirements in the collaborative development and pricequotation for injection mould from the customers and companies, this paper presents a web-basedcost estimation system of injection mould which can aid mould designers to evaluate the differentdesign alternatives, implement the collaborative development of injection mould, and provide areference for mould quotation. The overall architecture of the system based on a logical structure offour layers is established. Approach to cost estimation for injection mould is described in detail.Furthermore, a java-enabled solution together with the JESS 4.4 expert system shell and MicrosoftAccess 2000 is employed to develop such a networked cost estimation system. Finally, an actualexample is given to demonstrate the use of the online cost estimation system of injection mould. Thepractical results from engineering application indicate the system can provide an effective andfeasible tool to aid the evaluation of design alternatives and price quotation at the early developmentstages of injection mould
