Industry Overview
Route specialized requirements through one clear manufacturing intake
Prototypes, cosmetic parts, and production components for consumer product teams, from looks-like models to molded parts. 3DWK helps separate process selection, technical requirements, documentation, and delivery context so the right questions are visible early.
Program clarity
Keep files, revisions, quantities, quality expectations, and delivery context together in the RFQ.
Production continuity
Use prior RFQs, approved revisions, and supplier preferences when work becomes repeat production.

Industry FAQ
Questions to answer in your RFQ
What should be included in an industry-specific RFQ?
Include current CAD and drawings, material, quantity, critical tolerances, surface finish, inspection records, packaging, delivery requirements, and any program or supplier restrictions.
Can one project use multiple manufacturing processes?
Yes. Multi-part or assembled programs may combine machining, additive manufacturing, sheet metal, molding, casting, finishing, and assembly.
Can a previous supplier be requested for repeat work?
Include the previous RFQ and supplier preference. Capability, availability, quality, commercial, and delivery conditions still need confirmation.
