2D drawing ( drawing based on PDF, JPG format are fine)

2D drawing format for CNC Machining
Generally speaking, a 2D drawing will give many information. Such as material, tolerance, measurement dimension and so on.
- Material
Material is a basic condition for quoting. Different material will have different prices. Now the most material we used are 6061AL, SS and so on. Also we can do other material, such as wood, PMMA,POM,PEEK,NYLON,ABS,PP. Later, we will write another article about material, to see more materials from our material sheet guide page.
- Tolerance
Tolerance is also very important. When we quote, we have to judge whether our process and material can meet this tolerance requirement. Or if we go into production without checking this tolerance, it will make big trouble to both sides.
- Dimension
Dimension is another basic condition for quoting. Without it, we could not give price at all. Also we have to check whether our current machine can do this size or not.
3D drawing (drawing based on IGS, STEP, X_T, UG etc are fine)

3D drawing format for CNC Machining
If customer can send a 3D drawing, it is much better for us to quote at soonest. We can check the outer and inner construction with our engineer immediately. And those days, we got some 3D drawings from customers, which some inner construction that we could not do. We discuss with customers in time and get improved drawing, finally the problem is solved.
Quantity
Quantity is also a very important information we have to get. Since it will affect price a lot. The price of 1pc is big difference from 10pc or 100pcs.
Parts application or function
