Function
What must the part, assembly, equipment, or system do? What does it connect to?
Project guide
Better inputs make the first review more useful.
You do not need a complete engineering package to start. Share what is known, identify what is not, and avoid sending sensitive or regulated information through the initial form.
Information
Share available drawings, revision numbers, dimensions, photos, sketches, or a reference part. Do not send controlled or sensitive files through the initial web form.
Material & finish
List known material, surface, finish, cleanliness, exposure, food-contact, or corrosion requirements. If unknown, say so.
Quantity
State whether the need is a single custom item, a prototype, a repair discussion, or a repeated quantity.
Location
Explain whether the work is shop-based or involves a site, access restrictions, shutdown windows, utilities, lifting, or coordination.
Timing
Provide a target rather than assuming availability. Time-sensitive does not mean accepted or scheduled until confirmed directly.
Useful to include
- Plain-language purpose
- Available dimensions or drawing revision
- Known material and quantity
- Project or worksite location
- Target timing and constraints
Do not submit initially
- Passwords or access credentials
- Payment-card or bank information
- Government identifiers or identity documents
- Medical or unrelated personal information
- Export-controlled or restricted technical data
Start with the requirement
Start with what you know.
Tell us what you are planning, where the work will happen, and what information is already available.
