Getting a clean fast quote

Clear geometry and complete manufacturing notes help the system process the job 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. Select the material, thickness and quantity in the store.

3D models for formed parts

Use the 3D-model route for cut-and-fold requests. Include a drawing or notes for critical dimensions, bend intent, finish faces and tolerances. Formed geometry and flat patterns are checked before production release.

Common causes of a clarification

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