A better brief makes a better starting point
Practical starting points for a component sourcing conversation.
What to include in your inquiry
Prepare these details before you request a quotation. A defined requirement helps avoid assumptions about material, tooling, inspection and delivery.Production Process
Develop a manufacturing route around geometry, material, volume and function. Tooling, casting, machining and finishing belong in the same conversation.Quality Control
A drawing, an agreed inspection plan and documented acceptance criteria form the basis of a repeatable component.Engineering considerations
Three decisions to settle early
- 01
Drawing & revision
Share a 2D drawing and 3D model, with units and revision.
- 02
Material
Specify the alloy grade and applicable material standard.
- 03
Critical dimensions
Mark datums, fits and critical features on the drawing.
