Fast quotes depend on complete inputs. Include quantity breaks, material spec, critical tolerances, finishing stack, inspection expectations, and ship-to region for logistics planning.
- 3D model (STEP) plus controlled 2D PDF
- Annual volume forecast—even a range helps with tooling decisions
- Known regulatory or industry standards (medical, automotive, etc.)
- Target dates for prototype vs production
Highlight unknowns honestly—early questions are cheaper than late surprises.
If you need NDA coverage before file release, attach it with the RFQ so legal review does not stall engineering.
