Worth noticing
The sample breaks out setup and programming across a batch, then lists repeat-order prices separately.

Field notes

The worked example identifies an actuator adapter, drawing number 3-32, and a 15-piece batch; its displayed estimate allocates costs across material, machining, setup/programming, tools and finishing, and margin. The page reports comparing estimates against market prices and says the sample set excludes parts requiring grinding after hardening, which the tool does not calculate.
