Your First RFQ

Before You Begin​

Obtain the public RFQ link directly from the manufacturer. Prepare contact information, a clear description of what you need, and one drawing that the manufacturer is authorized to receive. Keep the original drawing and your requirements locally.

Reported beta: The supplied handoff describes local public intake without a buyer account. One drawing is required, with a maximum size of 50 MiB (52,428,800 bytes). This has not been independently verified on a hosted service.

Make a Useful Request​

  1. Check that the page is for the intended manufacturer.
  2. Provide contact details through the available form and explain your requirements clearly.
  3. Include context that helps the manufacturer interpret the drawing, such as the intended use and any uncertainty you want reviewed. These are suggestions, not required form fields.
  4. Select your single drawing and follow the page's submission instructions.
  5. Read any result shown before leaving. If the outcome is unclear, contact the manufacturer before repeatedly submitting.

After Submission​

Verification gaps: Submission confirmation behavior, email receipts, buyer tracking, and quote delivery have not been established. Agree a follow-up method with the manufacturer; do not assume a buyer portal exists.

Planned: An RFQ does not place an order or take payment. Those capabilities are future scope.
