How to prepare a file for a quote

One part per file: a 3D model in STEP, a flat contour in DXF or a print model in STL or 3MF. Add a PDF drawing for threads, fits or tighter tolerances.

  • One file is one part. A file with an assembly or several bodies goes to a tender or comes back with a request to split it.
  • Files on the quote page can be up to 20 MB, in the portal up to 50 MB.
  • You add the PDF drawing in the portal. It is needed for threads and fits you do not mark on the model and for tolerances tighter than general tolerances.

Drawing or model: which prevails

The drawing prevails for toleranced dimensions, threads and fits, and the 3D model for geometry the drawing does not dimension. We clarify any contradiction with you before production starts.

We encrypt your file. A partner sees it only when the job reaches them, under our number and without your details. The pricing engine receives only the file under a technical name.
