Practical answers before you send an RFQ.

Send the drawing or available sample information, target quantity, material or material standard if known, application, and any critical dimensions, tolerances, inspection or delivery requirements. You do not need to repeat information already shown clearly in your RFQ package.

No. Our engineering team can review the geometry, material, quantity, performance requirements and tooling considerations, then discuss a suitable manufacturing route. If you already require a specific process, state it in the RFQ.

The website form accepts common 2D, 3D and supporting formats including PDF, DWG, DXF, STEP, STP, IGES, IGS, X_T, X_B, SLDPRT, SLDASM, STL, JPG, PNG and ZIP. For large assemblies or files above the form limit, use the Dropbox file request.

A physical sample may be used as a starting point for review. Contact our team before shipping it so we can confirm the project reference, delivery details and what measurements or performance information are still required.

Project suitability depends on the selected process, tooling approach, geometry and target quantity. We review the expected production volume before recommending sampling, trial production or a volume-production route.

Tooling ownership, maintenance, storage, modification and transfer conditions should be confirmed in the quotation, purchase order or project agreement. We do not assume that the same arrangement applies to every project.

Provide the required material designation and standard on the drawing or RFQ. We review availability, process compatibility and any requested equivalent grade before quotation. Material substitutions are not made without customer review and agreement.

Secondary machining and other post-process requirements can be reviewed as part of the complete manufacturing route. The exact scope, responsible supplier, specification, inspection and documentation must be confirmed for each project.

No single tolerance applies to every process, material, size and feature. Critical dimensions and tolerance requirements are reviewed against the drawing and proposed manufacturing route before they are accepted.

Available documents depend on the material, process, drawing and agreed inspection plan. State any required material certificates, dimensional reports, traceability records, test reports or customer-specific formats during the RFQ stage so they can be included in the quotation scope.

Please identify the current drawing number and revision with each RFQ or change. Before sampling or production, the applicable revision and any approved deviations should be confirmed in the project records.

The specific issue should be documented against the drawing, sample report or agreed requirement. The next action may include clarification, containment, root-cause review, correction and a revised sample plan, depending on the project and finding.

Yes, requirements can be reviewed during quotation. Provide the inspection standard, frequency, report format, special gauges, test method or approval requirement early so feasibility, responsibility and cost can be confirmed.

Use the Dropbox file-request button on the RFQ page. Enter the same name and company used in the website form so our team can match the uploaded files with the correct submission.

No Dropbox account is normally required to upload through the file-request link. The files are handled by Dropbox under its own service and privacy terms.

No. If the information requires specific confidentiality terms, contact us before uploading highly sensitive files so both parties can review and complete an appropriate NDA or agree on another transfer method.

Review time depends on drawing completeness, part complexity, material, tooling, inspection requirements and whether clarification is needed. We avoid promising one fixed quotation time for every project and will contact you if additional information is required.
