If you already have a mould
The initial assessment starts with ownership and availability of the mould, its location, the existing part, the material, expected quantities and the objective of a possible production transfer.
If you are developing a new product
The discussion starts with the product function, requirements, expected volumes and current level of project maturity. These elements help identify what information is missing before tooling or a quotation can be discussed.
What the initial response can clarify
The initial response can indicate whether there may be a suitable fit with the process and what further assessment is required. It does not constitute an automatic promise of feasibility, timing, cost or production capacity.
When to share drawings and documents
Drawings, photographs and confidential documents are not requested in the initial form. They may be shared only at a later stage, if useful, through an agreed channel and within an agreed scope.
