Guidelines

Design resources for custom parts quoting.

Practical starting points for DXF uploads, sheet-metal design, material selection, finishes, and assisted quote workflows in Indian manufacturing.

DXF upload guidelines

Export flat 2D geometry, remove title blocks, confirm units in mm, and avoid duplicate/open contours where possible.

Sheet metal design basics

Keep features practical for laser cutting, use sensible hole sizes, and include tolerances only where they matter.

Minimum hole size guide

Hole size depends on material and thickness. Very small holes may need review or alternate processing.

Bend design notes

Bends need material, thickness, angle, radius, flange length, and relief review before pricing.

Material selection guide

Choose mild steel for economy, aluminium for weight, stainless for corrosion resistance, CRCA for clean painted panels, and GI for utility corrosion resistance.

Finish selection guide

Deburring, plating, powder coating, anodizing, and tumbling affect cost, lead time, and tolerance expectations.

How assisted quote works

Non-DXF files, complex DXFs, bends, finishes, machining, and hardware are routed to a reviewed quote path.

How to export DXF from CAD

Export the flat pattern or top profile as DXF, preserve scale, and check units before upload.
