Tooling cost estimation in China, Korea, Taiwan

Thanks guys for the kind words. Perhaps I was a little shy flogging the German competence
in injection molding and tooling myself.
In fact we are tied into part of that business but sadly
I am not in a position to take on additional projects for ourselves via Core.

So I just hope the OP is getting competent and interesting quotes out of Asia as well as out
of FRG. It would be interesting to see a rough breakdown of the propositions (perhaps in
percentages of differences and broken down in project stages?.)

My estimation was that, tooling and engineering for tooling out of FRG would be 2x the chinese
offers after taxes. Engio says 3 to 4 times… So, there is a gap between the predictions of two guys
with (different) experience.

Would be interesting for all of us to see how and if that gap tightens.
