Start with a controlled drawing
Include the part name, drawing number and revision. Provide the 3D model and a dimensioned 2D drawing where possible. Identify datums, critical features and any areas that need machining.
PROCUREMENT GUIDE
What to include in a casting RFQ
A useful casting enquiry combines geometry, material, quantities and acceptance requirements. This checklist helps define the scope of a drawing-based quotation.

Specify the material standard
State both grade and governing standard. Material designations from different standards should not be treated as automatically interchangeable.
Separate sample and production quantities
Tell us the sample quantity, expected order batch and estimated annual demand. Include target timing and whether tooling already exists.
Define the delivery and inspection scope
Specify as-cast, rough-machined or finish-machined delivery. List surface finish, inspection reports, testing, packaging and marking requirements.
Use the drawing upload form
The form supports PDF and common CAD interchange formats. If an NDA must be signed first, submit a text-only enquiry and request an agreement before uploading confidential files.
