From prototype review to repeat supply
From prototype review to repeat supply
Coordinate functional datums, board and connector alignment, cosmetic zones, masking, finish buildup, and thermal interfaces.
Prototype
Review geometry, process access, tolerance risk, and the evidence needed to evaluate the first parts.
Low volume
Stabilize workholding, finish sequence, inspection points, labeling, and packaging assumptions.
Repeat production
Confirm revision control, lot separation, recurring records, change control, and delivery cadence before release.
Buyer questions
Buyer questions
What should an enclosure RFQ include?
Send the current drawing and CAD model, material, quantity, finish, critical features, inspection records, delivery destination, and every applicable standard or approval requirement.
How are cosmetic surfaces identified?
Yes, when the drawing and model identify the functional datums, inaccessible features, tolerances, and acceptance method clearly enough for process review.
Can connector and board alignment be inspected?
State the required certificate, lot or heat linkage, part marking, record retention, and whether traceability must continue through outside processing.
How should anodize buildup be handled?
No. Product images are manufacturing references only. Supplier qualifications and required certifications must be stated and verified during RFQ review.
Which CAD and finish files should be sent?
A released drawing, native or neutral CAD, marked critical features, material specification, quantity schedule, finish specification, and inspection requirements provide the strongest starting package.
