What to send for an accurate CNC machining quote

The difference between a quote in one hour and a quote in three days is usually the drawing. Send these four things and we can price the part without a single clarifying email.

CNC machining shop floor at MetalWorks Plus in Shenzhen, China, with multi-axis machining centres in production
Quotes are priced against the machines that will actually cut the part — 60+ CNC centres across a 15,000 m² plant in Shenzhen. See the full capability list.

1 A 3D model

STEP or IGES preferred; SolidWorks, Parasolid and STL are fine too. The model gives us geometry and volume, which is most of the cycle-time estimate.

2 A 2D drawing

This is the one buyers skip. A 3D file carries no tolerance intent, so without a drawing we machine everything to ISO 2768-m. Mark the tolerance and the feature it applies to and you will not overpay for precision you do not need.

3 Material and quantity

Grade, not just family — 6061-T6 machines faster and cheaper than 7075-T6. Ask for price breaks at 1, 10, 50 and 250 pieces on the same enquiry; unit price drops sharply across that range.

4 Finish and certification

Anodising, passivation, plating or bead blast, plus any paperwork you need: material certificates to EN 10204 3.1, CMM reports, first-article inspection to AS9102. See how we document quality.

Lead times. Prototypes ship in 3–5 business days and volume production in 10–15, with a 48-hour express route for simple geometries. Add 2–4 days for surface treatment. Every quote includes a free DFM review that flags anything likely to cost you money before we cut metal.

What happens after you contact us

Every enquiry follows the same four steps, whether it is one prototype or a standing production order. You deal with an engineer from the first reply to the shipment, and you always know what happens next.

After you contact MetalWorks Plus, first articles like this machined part are measured before production is released
First articles are measured against your drawing and the report is sent to you before the batch is cut. See how we inspect and document parts.

1 Engineer review

An engineer, not a sales rep, opens your drawing the same working day. We check material, tolerances, finish and quantity, and flag anything that looks like a drawing error before it turns into a pricing assumption.

2 Free quote and DFM notes

Within 24 hours you receive an itemised CNC machining quote with unit prices at each quantity, a lead time, and a short DFM note on any feature that adds cost without adding function. The free quote carries no obligation.

3 First article

Once you order, we machine one part, measure it on the CMM against your drawing and send you the report. Nothing else is cut until you approve it.

4 Production and delivery

The batch runs with in-process checks, passes final inspection and ships with the inspection report, material certificates and a certificate of conformance, by DHL, FedEx or air freight to 50+ countries.

Working hours. Our office is open Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm China Standard Time (UTC+8). Messages that arrive outside those hours are answered on the next working day, and WhatsApp is usually the fastest way to contact an engineer.

Before you contact us: common questions

Straight answers to what buyers and engineers ask before they send a first drawing. Anything else, just ask.

How do I contact MetalWorks Plus for a CNC machining quote?

Use the form at the top of this page, email jy.liu@metalworksplus.com, or message +86-13902977361 on WhatsApp. Attach a STEP or IGES model and a PDF drawing, and state the material, quantity and finish. An engineer replies within 24 hours with a free quote and DFM feedback.

How fast will I get a reply?

Within 24 hours on working days, and usually sooner. Messages sent at weekends or on Chinese public holidays are answered on the next working day. If a drawing needs clarification we send one consolidated set of questions rather than a string of emails.

Is the quote really free?

Yes. Every quote, and the DFM review that comes with it, is free and carries no obligation to order. Ask for price breaks at the quantities you care about, for example 1, 10, 50 and 250 pieces, and they are all priced in the same free quote.

What if I only have a sketch or a sample part?

Contact us anyway. A dimensioned sketch is enough for a budget price, and a physical sample can be reverse-engineered on the CMM to create a model and a drawing. We confirm the measured dimensions with you before a production quote is fixed.

Do you sign an NDA before I send drawings?

Yes, on request and before you send anything. Contact us with your company’s NDA or ask for ours. Drawings stay on our own servers and are only used to quote and make your parts.

Can we have a video call with an engineer?

Yes. Video consultations can be scheduled through WhatsApp to review drawings together, talk through tolerances or walk through a DFM comment. Tell us your time zone and we will propose a slot inside or close to our working hours.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

No. We quote single prototypes and production runs of 100,000+ pieces from the same drawing, with the same inspection and documentation at every quantity. Unit price falls fastest over the first 50 pieces, because setup and programming are shared across the batch.

Which file formats should I send?

STEP (.step, .stp) or IGES for 3D geometry, plus a PDF or DWG drawing that carries tolerances, thread callouts, surface finish and material. SolidWorks, Parasolid and STL files are accepted too. Without a drawing, parts are machined to ISO 2768-m general tolerances.

Can I send large files by email?

Yes. Email your files to jy.liu@metalworksplus.com, or send a download link if they exceed your mail limit. Put the quantity, material and finish in the message so the engineer can quote without having to contact you first.

Where is your factory?

Our factory is at No. 39 Xishi Road, Hewan Community, Guangming, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China: a 15,000 m² plant with 60+ CNC machining centres. The map links above give directions from anywhere in Shenzhen.

How do you ship orders abroad?

By DHL, FedEx or air freight to 50+ countries, with export packaging, a commercial invoice and material certificates prepared for every order. Tell us your preferred trade terms when you request a quote and they are reflected in the price.

Which certifications do you hold?

ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D, with ISO 13485 for medical devices and IATF 16949 for automotive programs. Certificate copies can be sent with your first quote on request.

Do you quote sheet metal and laser-cut parts too?

Yes. Laser cutting, bending, welding and finishing are quoted alongside CNC machining, so an assembly that mixes machined and fabricated parts can come from one supplier in one shipment.

Can I order repeat or spare parts?

Yes. Repeat orders reuse the proven program, fixtures and inspection plan, so they are quoted quickly and usually run faster than the first batch. Contact us with the part number or the previous order reference.

Do your engineers work in English?

Yes. Drawing reviews, quotes, inspection reports and project updates are all handled in English for overseas customers, and our team also works in Chinese for suppliers and local partners.

Can you help me choose the right process?

Yes. Send the drawing and we route it to the right process, whether milling, turning, Swiss, multi-axis, EDM or laser cutting. The process links above explain each option if you prefer to read first.

Can you quote from a 3D model only?

Yes, but add a drawing if you can. A 3D model gives geometry but no tolerance intent, so a model-only quote assumes ISO 2768-m general tolerances. If some features need tighter limits, mark them on a PDF or list them in your message so the quote reflects the real requirement.

Do you make rapid prototypes?

Yes. Prototypes typically ship in 3–5 business days after drawing approval, with a 48-hour express route for simple geometries. Mention the date you need the parts when you contact us and the quote will say whether it can be met.

Which materials can you quote?

70+ grades, including aluminium 6061 and 7075, stainless steels, tool and alloy steels, titanium, Inconel, brass, copper and engineering plastics such as PEEK, POM and PTFE. If your grade is unusual, name it in the request and we confirm availability with the quote.

Can finishing and certification be included in the quote?

Yes. Anodising, passivation, plating, bead blasting and other finishes are priced in the same quote, along with any documents you need, such as material certificates to EN 10204 3.1, CMM reports or a first article report to AS9102.

What happens if a part does not meet the drawing?

It does not ship. Non-conforming parts are quarantined and recorded, and you are told before anything leaves the factory. We agree the fix with you, whether a remake or a documented deviation, and the corrective action is checked on the next batch.

Who handles my project after I place an order?

An engineer stays your point of contact through first article and production, so the person answering your questions knows the part and its drawing, from the first quote to delivery.

Do you work with startups and individual engineers?

Yes. There is no minimum order and no account to open, so startups, research teams and individual engineers can order single prototypes on the same terms as large OEMs.

What should I send if I cannot share the drawing yet?

Send the overall size, material, quantity, the tightest tolerance and the finish, plus a photo or sketch if you have one. That is enough for a budget price, and the firm quote follows once the drawing can be shared under NDA.
