Introduction
The Makersite tool for Autodesk® Fusion 360™ calculates three amounts in the cost tab;
Should Cost
Material Cost
Manufacturing Cost
A Should Cost is a calculated estimate of what a component or assembly may cost from a supplier.
In simplistic terms, it is a cost based on the most efficient process possible to make the component. Makersite links to a large number of databases & sources to find Material Costs, Manufacturing Costs & production margins are then added to this to create a Should Cost.
