Tool costing: world-class solutions for efficient tool manufacturing

Our tool enables the precise calculation of production costs for complex tools and moulds, individual processing units, and complete assemblies. Keep your costs under control at all times.

Innovative tool costing for your success

Our tool costing provides precise solutions for you. With a wide range of features, you can accurately calculate and efficiently plan the costs for manufacturing tools. Our user-friendly system allows you to simulate various scenarios and use them as a basis for decision-making. With our extensive knowledge database, you can access relevant data at any time and make well-informed decisions. Increase your profitability and gain a competitive edge with Schmale Software GmbH.

Two approaches to target price calculation in quotation costing

Our quotation costing software offers two main approaches to determine the target price:

1. OPTIMISED (specific):

    • Knowledge database: Selection from previously costed similar tools
    • Adapting to new tools: Existing data can be adjusted and applied to new tools

2. STANDARD (quick):

    • Quick costing: Use of Schmale standard values for fast costing
    • Adjusting customer-specific values: After quick costing, the values can be customised to meet the specific requirements of the customer

Both approaches lead to a tool cost analysis sheet, clearly presenting all entered and calculated values. This enables well-informed and transparent decision-making in quotation costing.

Component price calculation and project controlling
Complete cost transparency with Schmale project controlling

Our component price calculation and project controlling support you in determining component prices for various technologies, including injection moulding, die casting, progressive stamping, pressing, foaming, and sheet metal forming (such as steel and aluminium sheet), as well as individual processes like coating and laser cutting. With the "Unit Cost Power," you can perform a quick calculation based on standard values, while "Individual Unit Costs" allow you to add company-specific data (e.g., company-specific hourly rates) and thus create and adjust optimised processes in the database. The project controlling module provides a comprehensive overview and management of your projects and individual components.

Knowledge database
Centralise knowledge and make it easily accessible to everyone in your company – that is our goal.

Thanks to our powerful filtering options, you have access to extensive data and comparison possibilities, which can be continuously expanded and supplemented by your values. The knowledge database allows you to quickly and efficiently filter out the appropriate reference and create a "turbo costing" from it. This ensures the program provides plausible and precise results in the shortest possible time. 

The Schmale team is happy to assist you in building your knowledge database, ensuring you always have access to the best possible information.

Workshop costing:
Cost control for individual part processing and assemblies

With our workshop and component price costing, you have complete control over the costs of manufacturing complex tools and moulds, individual processing units, or complete assemblies. Our software enables independent calculations without the need for manual time entry, predefined processing units, and the storage of all parameters in a database. Additional processes such as deep-hole drilling, wire EDM, and grinding are also covered.

Software for tool, mould, and plant engineering with new technologies

Our software solutions for tool, mould, and plant engineering are state-of-the-art and support a wide range of manufacturing methods. 

These modern technologies enable us to provide you with tailored solutions, such as measuring and testing gauges, grippers, etc., to meet your specific requirements.
