Abstract:
Abstract—In this paper, we present a cost model for the production of small and medium batch series based on the SMARTLAM 3D-Integration approach, which allows fast prototyping without the normally neccessary allocation of tools. To accomplish this task, we use the concept of total value, which also includes the benefit. Because the majority of costs in SMARTLAM are caused by manufacturing overhead costs, we use an overhead calculation based on the machine-hour rate. Our model includes production cost calculation for the different used modules (i.e., Excimer- and CO2 laser, aerosol-jet 3D printer, laminator, micro-assembly module) as well as for the coordination module and the whole manufactoring plant.
