Material, finish and fit

A practical starting point for your CNC drawing and quotation.

Explore materials, finishes and drawing details in the dedicated guides.

Prepare your manufacturing requirements

Start with the material, then define the surface and geometry. Carry the confirmed requirements into the inspection and quotation stages.

Use the material and finishing pages to compare the options that affect function and appearance.

Review corners, walls, fits and the information that cannot be inferred from a 3D model.

Decide which dimensions, material documents and batch identifiers need to accompany the shipment.

RFQ CHECKLIST

Use this checklist with your drawings. Items not yet decided can be identified for review.

Drawing & revision: Current 3D model and dimensioned 2D drawing; identify the part number and revision.
Material & finish: Grade, condition, finish, cosmetic faces and any masking requirements.
Quantity & delivery: Prototype and production quantities, requested date and destination.
Critical features: Datums, fits, critical dimensions and whether acceptance applies before or after finishing.
Inspection & records: Sampling, dimensional reports, material documentation and batch identification requirements.
Confidentiality: Discuss the NDA and permitted file use before sharing restricted technical information.

Review the company, manufacturing environment and core component families.

Agree document fields, inspection scope and traceability before production.

Clarify datums, critical fits and the controlled drawing revision.
