Hey Chris,

Perhaps these are outside your intended scope, I am more of a process guy, but these things come to mind:

- Moldflow included?
- Warranty on # of shots
- Parts fall freely or must be pulled manually
- 25% Spare parts on critical components and/or wearables
- 70% reduction in price for 3 plate mold designs

Hi!
I think shelf time, lead time needs to be considered also.

I could Add:
--Steel Type, H13 or others
--Shot counter need?
--Ejector limit Sw?
---Water connectors Type,
---Will include water manifold?
--DFM (include parting lines proposal, draft angle review, mold flow )
--Include Spare parts?
--Weekly progress report

Regards
