Buyer RFQ resource
Prepare a clearer RFQ for custom cast and machined parts.
Use the information already available—a drawing, model, sample, worn part, or photographs—to organize an initial manufacturing review. The tool identifies missing inputs without blocking contact or making technical assumptions.
Your entries stay in this browser until you choose to continue to the RFQ form.
Information organizer
Build an RFQ summary from what you know now.
This is not an automatic quotation. It helps purchasing and engineering teams separate available facts from points that still need manual clarification.
Items to add or confirm:
Open buyer files
Use the checklist inside your purchasing workflow.
Both files are open downloads. The PDF works as a printable one-page prompt; the workbook gives purchasing and engineering teams an editable project record.
Buyer guide
Separate what starts a review from what controls production.
A useful first enquiry does not need every production detail. It does need enough evidence to identify the part, the likely supply scope, and the questions that affect quotation.
| Information stage | Useful inputs | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Start an initial review | Drawing, model, sample, worn part, or clear photographs; part application; initial quantity | Identify the part, probable route, and immediate open questions. |
| Build a clearer quotation | Material, required supply condition, critical features, finishing, inspection, packing, destination, and target timing | Define what is included and reduce assumptions between buyer and supplier. |
| Agree before production | Controlled revision, approved material definition, acceptance criteria, inspection plan, sample approval, labeling, and commercial terms | Keep purchasing, manufacturing, inspection, and shipment aligned to the same approved basis. |
What happens after you send the available evidence?
- 1Evidence review
JK Casting checks the drawing, model, sample, photographs, revision, and project context supplied.
- 2Scope clarification
Open material, machining, finishing, quantity, inspection, packing, or delivery points are listed for discussion.
- 3Route definition
The proposed casting, machining, finishing, and inspection scope is documented for manual review.
- 4Quotation basis
The quotation records the files, assumptions, included scope, and commercial terms used for pricing.
Questions before quotation
Common RFQ preparation questions.
Final requirements remain tied to the controlled drawing, purchase order, and approved technical record.
Do I need a complete drawing package before requesting a review?
No. A 2D drawing, 3D model, physical sample, worn part, or clear photographs can start an initial review. Missing technical points can be identified before quotation or production release.
Can JK Casting review a sample or worn part without a drawing?
Yes. Clear photographs, measured dimensions, material clues, application details, quantity, and the physical sample can start the review. A controlled production drawing may still be required before release.
Does the RFQ readiness result approve manufacturing feasibility?
No. The result only organizes the information available for an initial review. JK Casting manually reviews manufacturing route, material, inspection, commercial scope, and delivery requirements.
Which files can I submit through the online RFQ form?
The form accepts one PDF, STEP, STP, IGES, IGS, DXF, DWG, ZIP, JPG, JPEG, or PNG file up to 8 MB. Multiple files can be combined into a ZIP file or sent by email.
Manual technical review
Send the strongest evidence available.
A complete package is useful, but it is not required for the first conversation. JK Casting will identify the technical and commercial points that still need clarification.
