A Step-by-Step Guide from Glover Precision
At Glover Precision, we strive to make the process of submitting your part for a quote as seamless and efficient as possible. Whether you’re a seasoned engineer or a first-time customer, this guide will walk you through the steps to ensure your submission is complete and ready for our team to provide you with an accurate and timely quote. Ready to get started? Let’s dive in!
Step 1: Prepare Your Files
To give you the most precise quote possible, we need detailed information about your part. This typically includes a solid model and/or a technical drawing. Here’s what you need to know about file formats:
- Solid Models: We prefer 3D solid models in the following file formats:
- .stp
- .step
- .iges
These formats allow our team to fully analyze your part’s geometry and specifications for manufacturing.
- Drawings: For 2D technical drawings, please submit them in PDF format. A PDF ensures that your dimensions, tolerances, and notes are clearly communicated and universally accessible.
If you’re unsure about your file types or need assistance converting them, feel free to reach out to our team—we’re here to help!
Step 2: Visit Our Quote Page
Once your files are ready, head over to our dedicated quote submission page at https://www.gloverprecision.com/quote. This is where you’ll upload your files and provide additional details about your project.
Step 3: Fill Out the Quote Form
On the quote page, you’ll find a simple form designed to gather essential information about your part and your needs. Here’s what we’ll ask for:
- Contact Information: So we can get back to you with your quote.
- Part Details: Include the part name, quantity, material preferences (if any), and any special instructions or requirements.
- File Uploads: Attach your solid model (.stp, .step, or .iges) and/or your PDF drawing.
The more details you provide, the better we can tailor our quote to your specific project. If you have multiple parts to submit, you can upload additional files or contact us directly for assistance with larger submissions.
Step 4: Submit and Review
After filling out the form and uploading your files, hit the “Submit” button. You’ll receive a confirmation that your request has been received. Our team will review your submission to ensure we have everything we need. If anything is missing or unclear (e.g., a file format issue or missing dimensions), we’ll reach out to you promptly to resolve it.
Step 5: Receive Your Quote
Once we’ve reviewed your part and specifications, we’ll provide you with a detailed quote, including pricing and lead time. Our goal is to deliver fast, accurate, and competitive quotes so you can move forward with confidence.
