Journal
Short guides written by the people who read your RFQ, plan your setup and measure your parts. Practical, and about one question each.
How to prepare a CNC RFQ that gets one clear reply

By Milan Vos, RFQ coordinator

Numeric half-widths, fits and feature-specific requirements, and why ±0.02 mm across a whole drawing usually starts a conversation.
By Elise de Wit, Inspection lead
Repeat batches: what to tell us when the revision changes
Old revision, new revision, what changed and the quantity now: four lines that keep a repeat batch on the agreed record.
By Noor van Dalen, Co-founder
