First reply
Qualified CAD-ready requests receive a practical first reply with DFM questions, tooling assumptions and next route. Large files can be shared after the first reply if upload size is too large.
Lead qualification logic
| High-priority signal | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| 3D CAD available | The mold team can review geometry and quote assumptions accurately. |
| Quantity and mold life defined | Cavity count, steel and cooling decisions can be scoped. |
| Export mold required | Documentation, standards, spare parts and packing need early planning. |
| T1 / FAI / CMM needed | Sample and inspection gates can be priced and scheduled. |
