Start with what you already know
You do not need to turn an idea into a complete technical brief before starting a conversation. Describe what you want to make, why it is needed and the dimensions you already have. A sketch or an existing model can help show where the work begins.
A useful design enquiry
- Explain the purpose of the part and who will use it.
- Include overall dimensions and how it relates to other components.
- Identify the features that are fixed and those you are willing to change.
- Describe the model or reference material you already have permission to use.
- State the intended quantity and any timing you need to discuss.
An existing model that needs a change and a design that starts from an idea can involve different work. The CAD scope, deliverables and revision arrangements need to be agreed before a price is accepted. No fixed design fee, automatic repair, scanning or reverse-engineering service is promised by this page.
Keep design and print pricing clear
CAD work is a separate enquiry from the planned instant print-quotation flow. Once a suitable model exists, the printing specification can be considered with its dimensions, material questions and intended use.
Email a CAD enquiry with a description first. Please agree a handling route before sending confidential models or reference files.
