Getting a clean fast quote

Clear geometry and complete manufacturing notes help the team check the work without a clarification loop.

DXF and DWG for flat parts

Export at 1:1 scale in millimetres. Keep one closed profile for each cut edge, remove duplicate lines and avoid title-block geometry inside the cutting layer. Note the material, gauge and quantity in the form rather than encoding them in a filename alone.

STEP and STP for formed parts

Three-dimensional files are accepted and always held for engineering review. Include a drawing or notes for critical dimensions, bend intent, finish faces and tolerances. We do not claim automated feature recognition or automatic flat-pattern approval in Intake Mode.

Common causes of a clarification

  • Open or overlapping profiles
  • Missing bend directions or angles
  • Threads represented as cut geometry
  • No material or gauge selection
  • Tight tolerances without a functional reason
