What files do I need for a manufacturing quote?
A 3D model (STEP or STL) and a 2D drawing (PDF or DXF) give the most accurate quote. Add quantity, material, finish, delivery location and your target date. If you only have a sketch or a sample part, send photos and dimensions and we will tell you what is missing.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
No. We handle single prototypes, low-volume batches and series production. Low-volume manufacturing is a large part of our work. Unit prices fall as quantities rise, so we will show you price breaks where they make a difference.
Do you work with companies across Europe?
Yes. We are an EU-based company and work with clients across Europe, including Germany, France, the Benelux, Poland, Italy, Spain and the Nordic and Baltic countries. We work in your time zone and deliver to your address.
How quickly will I get a quote?
You get a first answer within 24 hours: whether the part is feasible, which process and factory location we recommend, and an indicative price. A detailed quote for complex parts or tooling can take a few more days.
Do you manufacture in Europe or in Asia?
Both. We choose the location per part. Europe usually suits prototypes, tight tolerances and urgent orders. Asia, including China and India, usually suits larger series and tooling-heavy parts. Many clients prototype in Europe and move series production to Asia.
How does manufacturing in China or India work with an EU contact?
You deal only with us, in your language and time zone. We select and check the factory, approve samples with you, follow production and quality, and arrange shipping and EU customs. You get the cost advantage of Asian production without managing a supplier on the other side of the world.
Which materials can you work with?
Aluminium, steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, titanium, engineering plastics such as POM, PA and PEEK, moulding plastics such as ABS, PP and PC, and casting alloys. If your drawing calls for a specific grade, we find a factory that works with it.
How do you make sure the parts are right?
We agree quality requirements before production, approve first samples with you, and check parts before they ship. Dimensional reports, material certificates to EN 10204 3.1 and RoHS or REACH declarations are available on request.
Will you sign an NDA before I share drawings?
Yes. We are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement before you send drawings, and we share your files only with the factory that quotes or makes your part.
Who handles shipping and customs?
We do. You choose express, optimum or economy delivery, and we arrange transport and customs clearance to your address, so parts arrive ready to use.
