A step-by-step checklist to get fast, accurate CNC machining quotes: CAD files, materials, finishes and quantities.

Getting a CNC machining quote is fast when you provide the right information. Here is exactly what our quoting team needs to return an accurate price within 24 hours.
Prepare Your CAD Files
STEP (.stp/.step) and IGS files are ideal. 2D drawings (PDF/DWG) with tolerances and critical dimensions marked help us quote accurately for tight-tolerance features.
Specify Material and Quantity
Tell us the material grade (e.g. aluminum 6061-T6, SS304) and estimated annual or per-order quantity. Quantity directly affects process selection - machining, die casting or injection molding.
List Surface Finish Requirements
If parts need anodizing, plating, powder coating or silk-screen logos, list them upfront. Finish costs are significant and better quoted together.
What You Receive
Within 24 hours you get a formal quotation PDF with unit price, tooling cost (if any), lead time and DFM suggestions. Quotes are free and carry no obligation.
