Prepare a made-to-print RFQ

Check what a shop needs to quote your part, see whether your lead-time stages fit your target, put the quotes you receive side by side on landed cost, and copy the RFQ text.

Fill in the part and the terms below and send them.

What it is for

An engineer with a drawing needs a shop that runs the right process at the right volume: five prototypes machined in a week, or 20,000 molded housings a quarter. Finding a shop with open capacity, the right equipment and the quality certifications for one part is slow, and many requests for quotation go unanswered. Set out the part, process, material, tolerances, finish, quantity and lead time so a shop can quote without a round of questions.

Who uses it

Mechanical and electrical engineers at product companies, hardware startups moving from prototype to production, and sourcing staff replacing a shop.

What you get

A reference number, your request for quotation set out as text (process, material, tolerances, finish, quantity and lead time) any shop can price, and a reply when we can get it quoted.
