Sheet Metal Fabrication FAQ

What file formats should I send for a sheet metal RFQ?

Please send the current revision of your 2D PDF drawing as the primary reference. STEP or STP files are helpful for formed parts and assemblies, while DXF or DWG files may be included for flat-profile clarification.

Can you review a part before the design is finalized?

Send the current drawing and identify the areas where manufacturing feedback is needed. Include the intended material, quantity, critical features, and finish requirements so the project requirements can be evaluated.

Can welding and assembly be included?

Welding, hardware installation, and mechanical assembly may be included when specified in the project scope. Please provide weld locations, joint details, hardware requirements, assembly steps, and finish requirements with the RFQ.

Can you support prototype and repeat-production requirements?

Production requirements can be reviewed for prototypes, pilot quantities, and repeat-production projects. Include the current quantity and expected future volume where available so the appropriate fabrication route can be evaluated.

What finish options can be included in a quotation?

Finish requirements may include powder coating, anodizing, plating, brushing, bead blasting, labeling, and protective film. Specify the required standard, color, gloss, texture, visible surfaces, and masked areas.

How should critical dimensions be identified?

Mark dimensions and interfaces that control fit, function, appearance, or assembly. Include datum references, bend-related interfaces, cosmetic surfaces, and any specified verification requirements.

What affects a sheet metal quotation?

Material, thickness, geometry, bend count, welding, hardware, finishing, quantity, inspection requirements, and packing requirements can affect the fabrication route and quotation.

Can packing be included for finished assemblies?

Packing requirements can be reviewed when they are included in the RFQ. Please specify protective separation, labels, carton or pallet requirements, handling needs, and finished-part protection requirements.
