How to Send Drawings for a Fast, Accurate Machining Quote

Most of the time spent waiting for a quote goes not into pricing, but into back-and-forth questions to clarify the drawing. Provide the ten items below and you will get a faster, more accurate quote.

Updated:

Ten things to include

  • 1. 2D drawing in PDF (with title block, drawing number and revision) and, if available, a 3D STEP/IGES model. 3D data speeds up CNC programming and prevents misreading the geometry.
  • 2. The exact material grade: e.g. A6061-T6, SUS304, S45C, SCM440, POM – not just "aluminum" or "stainless".
  • 3. Quantities: the first batch and expected monthly/annual volume. Unit price depends heavily on quantity because setup time is shared across the batch.
  • 4. Tolerances: critical dimensions plus the general tolerance standard (e.g. ISO 2768-m).
  • 5. Surface roughness (Ra) on critical surfaces.
  • 6. Surface finish: anodizing (color, thickness), zinc or nickel plating, black oxide, powder coating…
  • 7. Heat treatment and hardness, if any: e.g. Q&T HRC 28–32.
  • 8. Inspection and documentation: CMM report, mill test certificate, CoC, RoHS…
  • 9. Packaging and labeling: individual packing, rust prevention, part-number labels.
  • 10. Required delivery date and location (and Incoterms if relevant).

What slows quotes down

  • Missing views or sections for internal features (grooves, tapped holes, pockets).
  • Tapped holes without thread depth and drill depth.
  • Drawing and 3D model at different revisions – the supplier cannot tell which one to follow.
  • Tight tolerances on every dimension – raising cost without adding function.
