For the fastest and most accurate quote, we recommend uploading 3D CAD models (STEP, IGES, or SolidWorks) along with 2D PDF drawings that specify critical tolerances, material type, and finish requirements. While we can quote from 2D drawings alone for simple parts, 3D models allow us to run DFM (Design for Manufacturability) checks and identify cost-saving opportunities immediately.

We strive to provide initial quotes within 24-48 hours for standard stamping and fabrication projects. For complex assemblies or projects requiring special materials/tooling, our engineering team may need additional time to source materials and optimize the manufacturing process for the best price.

Yes. We take data security seriously. As an ITAR Registered and ISO 9001/AS9100 certified manufacturer, we have strict protocols in place to protect your intellectual property. Your files are only accessible to our authorized engineering and estimating teams for the purpose of providing a quote. We are happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to receiving sensitive data.

Yes. Our quoting process is designed to support your entire product lifecycle. We can provide a “Prototype Quote” using laser cutting and soft tooling for low volumes (1-500 parts), as well as a “Production Quote” using progressive die stamping for high volumes (5,000+ parts). We can even provide a dual quote to show you the break-even point where switching to hard tooling becomes cost-effective.

Absolutely. Our estimators are experienced engineers who look for ways to reduce costs and improve part quality. When you request a quote, you can ask for DFM feedback. We will review your design for potential issues—such as tight bend radii, hole proximity, or material waste—and suggest design changes that could lower your tooling investment and piece-part price.
