01 · Engineering review
We review the controlled files, process fit, missing requirements, quality scope, and quotation assumptions before sourcing.
Manufacturing Service
Use this service when you need fabricated metal enclosures, brackets, panels, covers, or assemblies quoted from DXF, DWG, PDF, or CAD drawings.
Commercial responsibility
MakesHub manages engineering review, controlled sourcing, quotation scope, quality requirements, and delivery coordination. The exact manufacturing route is approved for each project rather than assumed from a website category.
01 · Engineering review
We review the controlled files, process fit, missing requirements, quality scope, and quotation assumptions before sourcing.
02 · Controlled sourcing
A production source is assigned only after its legal entity, manufacturing site, exact process capability, and current project evidence are approved.
03 · Written quotation
Examples and early guidance are not firm offers. The issued written quotation controls price, scope, lead time, exclusions, and validity.
04 · Production release
Uploading files starts review. Production begins only after an accepted quotation, customer purchase authorization, controlled revision, and release checks.
Website images, example specifications, and workflow scenarios are planning references. They do not prove a named factory's equipment, capacity, certification, price, or delivery performance.
Before you place an order
An upload is a request for review, not a production commitment. MakesHub should first help you understand the missing information, suitable route, price drivers, quality scope, and delivery risk.
Send Files for Engineering ReviewYou decide whether to proceed only after reviewing the written quotation.
Step 1
CAD, PDF drawings, product photos, BOM files, quantity, material, tolerance, finish, quality needs, and delivery country.
Step 2
We identify missing inputs, process or material alternatives, critical cost drivers, inspection needs, and project risks.
Step 3
A firm quotation requires eligible supplier capability and cost evidence for the controlled technical and commercial scope.
Step 4
You see the quoted scope, price, lead time, assumptions, exclusions, validity, and next approval step before committing.
Quotation transparency
No service should be hidden inside an unexplained unit price. Applicable charges and exclusions belong in the written quotation, using the same controlled project scope.
Quantity-based part pricing for the reviewed material, process, finish, tolerance, and inspection scope.
Molds, dies, fixtures, trial parts, or first-article work are shown separately when the project requires them.
DFM, drawing work, CMM, FAI, PPAP, certificates, or third-party inspection are itemized when applicable.
Special packaging, freight, Incoterm, named place, duties, and taxes are stated or explicitly excluded.
Response planning
These are internal operating targets, not guarantees. The issued quotation controls the actual response, price, production, and delivery timing for each project.
Initial response target
Within 2 business hours
For a valid drawing-led RFQ received during the sales working day.
Standard quote target
Within 24 hours
After sufficient specifications and eligible supplier evidence are available.
Complex quote target
Within 48 hours or a status update
For tooling, special processes, incomplete files, or multi-supplier review.
Service workflow
The sheet metal fabrication service organizes drawing, thickness, bend, joining, hardware, finish, and packaging requirements for quotation.
This service page focuses on what buyers need to submit and what sales will review for quotation. The related capability page explains the technical process, manufacturing scope, materials, tolerances, and quality control in more detail.
Read Sheet Metal Fabrication CapabilityProcess-specific quote decisions
Sheet metal quotations depend on the complete fabricated assembly, not only the flat-cut outline. Bends, hardware, welding, finish, inspection, assembly, and packaging can change both price and schedule.
Compare another route when: the part is primarily a machined solid, a high-volume stamped geometry, or a casting whose shape and quantity do not fit cut, bend, join, and finish operations.
Visual manufacturing path
Use the image chain to understand how drawings become a reviewed process, an application-ready part, an inspection plan, and protected delivery.
Review CAD, dimensions, material, tolerance, finish, and missing quotation inputs.
Connect the approved requirement to a practical machining, fabrication, molding, casting, stamping, or printing route.
Connect fabricated panels and enclosures to electronics assemblies, heat management, mounting, and connector access.
Plan dimensional inspection, critical features, surface checks, and supporting documentation.
Separate finished parts, protect surfaces and metal, label batches, and prepare export packaging.
Upload CAD drawings, PDF drawings, product photos, material, quantity, tolerance, finish, and delivery requirements so the RFQ software can route your project into sales review.
