Abstract
Cost estimation of deep drawn sheet metal parts requires substantial knowledge and experience. It is a time consuming task and dependent on the expert personnel available. This paper presents the research work involved in the development of a knowledge based system for cost-estimation of deep drawn sheet metal parts. The proposed system is structured in form of two modules viz., module COMPC for estimation of total manufacturing cost of deep drawn parts and module TOOLC for estimation of total tooling cost of deep drawing tool. The system modules are coded in VB.6.0 in windows operating environment. The system has been tested for various types of axisymmetric deep drawn sheet metals parts taken from industries. System is flexible enough as its knowledge base can be extended or modified easily.
