CNC machining FAQ
Quotes from local CNC shops typically arrive within 1-3 business days on V Intellect. Quote turnaround depends on the complexity of your drawings, material availability and the workshop's current production schedule.
At minimum: a 2D PDF drawing with critical dimensions and tolerances, the material specification, the quantity, the surface finish and your target delivery date. STEP/IGES 3D models speed up quoting significantly.
Yes. Quotes are 1-to-1 and suppliers never see competitor quotes. You can attach an NDA template to your RFQ — most South African machine shops will sign before reviewing detailed drawings.
