Clear inputs, approval gates and release responsibilities.

Remote collaboration works best when each stage has an owner, a decision and an agreed output.

Input validation

Check CAD integrity, drawings, material, tolerances, finish, machine information and missing decisions.

Scope and quotation

Define deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, file formats, milestones, timeline, revisions and commercial terms.

DFM and concept approval

Resolve manufacturability risks, parting direction and key tooling concepts before detailed work.

Design development

Develop the agreed geometry and systems through reviewable stages.

Technical review and correction

Run structured checks, incorporate agreed corrections and record release decisions.

Final release and support

Issue the approved formats and support defined questions, changes or trial feedback.

Customer input checklist

What to provide for a useful quotation.

Send everything available; missing inputs can be identified during validation. Clearly mark provisional data and controlled dimensions.

CAD files
Product drawings
Reference photographs
Material or resin grade
Shrinkage information
Surface-finish requirements

Critical dimensions and tolerances
Expected production quantity
Number of cavities
Target moulding machine
Required file formats
Target completion date

Review discipline

Changes are easier to control when decisions are visible.

Comments should reference the relevant view, dimension or component. Consolidated feedback and timely approvals reduce conflicting corrections. Revised inputs may require scope and schedule review.

Confidential data: Request an NDA when needed. For large or sensitive engineering files, submit the initial form without attachments and agree a suitable secure transfer method.
