Context
Quote speed is not just about volume. It is about how fast we can validate manufacturability and risk.
Quote turnaround depends on how fast we can close feasibility: CAD clarity, drawing completeness, and risk notes drive RFQ review speed.
The Trap
The trap is sending incomplete RFQs. Missing files or unclear tolerances turn a one-day quote into a week-long back-and-forth.
The Geppetto Take
We quote fast when the packet is complete. If the RFQ includes the right files and context, we can lock cost and lead time quickly.
Evidence / Data
- Incomplete RFQs are the dominant cause of quote delays.
- Tolerance and material ambiguity forces manual review loops.
Control Actions
- Provide CAD and PDF with tolerance map.
- Include material, finish, and quantity.
- Flag critical features and inspection needs.
- Define target delivery window.
Checklist
- CAD + drawing package ready.
- Material and finish specified.
- Quantities and target dates defined.
- Contact for clarification assigned.
What to Send
Send CAD, PDF, BOM (if any), and target delivery window.
FAQ
What is the fastest quote path?
A complete RFQ package with clear tolerances and material specs.
Can you quote from a PDF only?
We can, but CAD speeds validation and reduces risk.
Do you need inspection requirements?
Yes, because they affect time and cost.
