This software automates the cost calculation of printed circuit board assembly. Can generate cost estimate by importing a bill of materials with basic attribute information about the components.  Assigns cost to board components using a library of component costs and estimates assembly costs of attaching the components to the board. Can specify test and verification processes required, whereby the system will automatically assess the cost of each process and roll it into the overall PCBA cost. Comes with more than 45 out-of-the-box assembly and test manufacturing cost models.
