What we need to quote.
Five things. With all of them in the first email, the price comes back without a round of questions.
- A 2D drawing with tolerances, datums and GD&T marked up — PDF, DWG or DXF.
- A 3D model in STEP or IGES, if you have one.
- Material and grade — and say if you are flexible, as a near-equivalent is often quicker to source.
- Quantity and schedule, plus any finish, plating or coating specification.
- Inspection documents you need in the box, and any packing or labelling requirement.
