A useful enquiry starts
with the right details.

What should travel with your CAD model? Start with the drawing revision, material, quantity and the requirements that define the finished part.

MODEL & DRAWING

MATERIAL & FINISH

ORDER REQUIREMENTS

Browse by the question you are working through.

What to include in a CNC machining enquiry

Bring the model, drawing revision and order requirements into one clear package.

Specify more than an alloy name

Grade, condition and application belong in the same material discussion.

Which surfaces need special attention?

Visible faces, contact areas and mating features may need different requirements.

Make critical features easy to identify

Connect acceptance criteria to the features that control assembly and function.

Keep drawing revisions connected to the order

A small change needs a clear reference across the project documents.

Plan the receiving requirements early

Identification, documentation and packing are part of the finished delivery.
