As we build our knowledge database, we want to share with you all that we know — from design and engineering tips, to manufacturing hardware — , in our mission to #HelpMakersMake. Learn More.
Both design and manufacturing processes are progressing and developing faster than ever before. With the advent of model-based quotation and processing, workflows have been simplified extensively. We often get questions from our customers, whether they should provide 2D drawings to us. The answer is a resounding YES!
Here’s 6 reasons why:
1 — They allow us to give you faster quotations
For simple parts, Factorem’s Quotations are generated by our internally built price prediction engine. However, for more complicated parts and assemblies, quotations are generated using conventional methods that involve heavy manual processing.
Having 2D files allows manufacturing engineers to open them using a PDF reader and quote quickly. This is much faster compared to opening the files using a CAD software, measuring key dimensions and quoting.
Quicker quotes translate to quicker manufacturing lead times and allows us to get your parts to you ASAP!
