Complete packet
Start with manufacturability and risk review.
Clear path
Return quote boundary and delivery rhythm.
Acceptance locked
Capture inspection and packaging needs in prototype stage.
Project Overview
Custom assemblies can be delayed by tolerance stack-up, finish thickness, and purchased-part lead times.
We first break down the BOM and key assembly relationships, then decide which parts should be machined, outsourced for finishing, or purchased.
Manufacturing Parameters
Why can the quote change? Separate the cost drivers first.
BOM completeness
Hardware, purchased parts, and machined parts must be separated.
Assembly relationship
Stack-up, datums, and functional faces drive assembly quality.
Supply-chain timing
Finishing, purchased parts, and packaging extend lead time.
Delivery standard
Assembly, split shipment, and labeling need early confirmation.
Where this project usually gets stuck
- Incomplete BOM
- Unclear hardware source
- Tolerance stack-up
- Missing packaging labels
Cases that should not go straight to production
- Photos without target dimensions make assembly and cost boundaries unclear.
- Missing material, quantity, and lead time can make pricing misleading.
- Undefined cosmetic or inspection standards can create acceptance disputes.
RFQ Decision
If this project type is close to your part, send the packet for review
We first check manufacturability, risk points, and quote drivers. If it fits, we quote. If not, we explain why.
