What to send us for a quote
A CAD file, a photo, a sketch or a few sentences: any of them is enough to start, and the answer says what it takes, what it costs and how long.
Most enquiries do not arrive with drawings, and they do not need to. A quote can start from almost anything that shows what you have in mind, and whatever you have is enough to begin.
Whatever you have is enough
- A CAD or 3D file, if the piece has already been designed
- A photo of something similar, or of the part that needs replacing
- A sketch, however rough, with the sizes you have in mind
- A description of the problem, when what you need is a system rather than an object
What comes back
The answer to a quote request says three things: what it takes to make, what it costs, and how long it runs. How long it takes is part of the answer, not something worked out afterwards.
Nothing is made on a guess
If you arrive with an idea rather than a drawing, the first step is design: the idea becomes a drawing or a model, and nothing is printed or coded until that is agreed. It is the step our note You imagine it, we make it starts with.
What helps a quote along
- What the thing is for, and who will use it or look at it
- Roughly how big it should be, or how many people will use the system
- Where it will live: indoors, outdoors, on a desk, on a phone
- The date it is needed by, if there is one
Where to send it
Through the contact page, with your files attached, or on WhatsApp if a photo and a message are quicker. The same studio answers both, whether the request is one personalised piece or a system for a whole company.
