The two links below give you some excellent information about Design for Manufacture (DFM).
This website will help you to calculate an accurate part cost for your design based upon a manufacturing method and material of your choice. This is ideal for Commercial Manufacture and Marketing Strategies sections of design projects.
This is an article which gives you some excellent information about how to move your design from prototype to mass-manufacture (injection moulding). A lot of the techniques talked about are shown in the videos in the previous section of this page.
This website will help you generate a cost of things like mould tools, materials, manufacturing time etc.
This website will help to provide you with a quick cost of an injection moulding tool which will help you when generating cost estimates.
This website has some great resources to help you with your costing. Has quite a few bits of information that it will offer you.
