To ensure that we provide the most accurate quotations and quality design services, Waveform Plastics has developed the following guidelines for exchanging information with our customers. It is very important that we obtain current, accurate representations of the product with the Request for Quotation (RFQ). For 3D solid models and 2D drawings, Waveform Plastics uses Solidworks and MasterCAM, both of which allow us to view a wide range of standard CAD file formats. These drawings and models allow us to accurately quote and produce final production parts that meet our customers' requirements. 2D prints allow us to accurately understand tolerances, material specifications, revision history and critical dimensions. The 2D drawings also provide us with effective document control by allowing our employees to quickly determine if a revision has been made to a drawing. 3D models allow us to to examine the shape and complexity of a part and allow us to anticipate how the shape and design could effect the molding process. We have defined the following general guidelines to ensure the most accurate quote possible and also provide the quickest possible turnaround on a quote.
Our goal is to efficiently acquire all project related data from our customers and provide them with an accurate quote as quickly as possible. Submission of any type of data to Waveform Plastics is considered CONFIDENTIAL and will only be provided to other people for the purpose of obtaining an accurate quote for your project. We prefer data submissions to be done using our online quotation form. Any large CAD files may be emailed to us at info@waveformplastics.com. Please include as much information as possible with your submission (material, thickness, how the final part is going to be used, etc.).
If you have any questions about submitting files or if you have a file format that you would like to submit that has not been listed, please feel free to contact us with your questions.
