Prepare a STEP model for quoting.

Send the final solid so the preview and forming checks describe the part you need.

Before you upload

  1. One finished part

    Export one part per STEP or STP file. Avoid assemblies, multiple revisions, and unrelated bodies in the same file.

  2. The correct thickness

    Model the intended material thickness consistently. Check it again when the quote reads the model.

  3. The finished shape

    For a bent part, export the formed model with the required bends. A flat STEP model is treated as a flat laser-cut part.

  4. No duplicate part uploads

    Do not upload both a DXF and a STEP version of the same part to represent one item. Each file creates its own quote row.

Check what the quote detected

Rotate the preview and confirm the shape, dimensions, material, and thickness. For formed parts, review the detected bends and any tooling or clearance messages. If the geometry cannot be resolved, submit the part for shop review.

Have a drawing or special requirements?

Use the print or PDF quote request to send dimensions, tolerances, or notes that need a conversation with the shop.
