Granta Design today announced the release of CES Selector™ 2016, which includes an innovative tool to consider the cost implications of material and process choices, more extensive datasets, and more attractive and informative charts to aid analysis and presentations. CES Selector is PC-based software used by materials experts and product development teams to make better materials decisions as they improve product performance, reduce costs, and minimize risks. The new Part Cost Estimator™ results from a collaborative project with participants from the polymer, metals and composites industries. It predicts the cost of a part for a specified material and processing scenario.  Users can focus on the most cost-effective material and process options during the early stages of conceptual design, when multiple materials are under consideration, and many details are yet to be defined. The tool accounts for material and shaping processes, part size and complexity, off-the-shelf and custom forms, batch size, and credits for recycling
