Drawing or sample Essential
A 2D drawing (PDF or DWG), a 3D model (STEP or IGES), a sketch with dimensions, or a photo of the existing part with a tape measure for scale.
The more detail you send, the faster and sharper our pricing. Use this page as a checklist before you contact us. If you only have a sample or a photo, send that anyway and we will work out the rest with you.
Six details cover almost every enquiry. Items marked essential are the minimum we need to price your part.

Order quantity and expected annual usage. Tell us if it is a one-off trial, a first production run, or a recurring schedule, as this changes tooling and price.
For example mild steel, EN8, EN19, 304 or 316 stainless, cast iron, aluminium or a specific alloy. If you are unsure, tell us the application and we will advise.
Which dimensions are critical, surface finish requirements, and any features that must be held tightly. This avoids over-engineering and unnecessary cost.
Hot-dip galvanising, zinc plating, powder coat, painting, heat treatment, black oxide, or machined bright. Include colour or coating thickness if it matters.
Target delivery date and the delivery suburb or port. Let us know if you need sea or air freight, and whether you want it delivered to your door.
Not essential, but they usually improve the price or shorten the lead time.
