T1 Sample Approval Checklist
Review dimensions, cosmetic marks, assembly fit, material, color, gate vestige and correction notes before release.
Why this matters
Review dimensions, cosmetic marks, assembly fit, material, color, gate vestige and correction notes before release. Buyers get better quotes when they describe the part function, material assumptions, quantity, quality expectations and the decision they need to make next.
Practical checklist
Next step
Use the quote form to send the minimum useful details. A first review can identify whether the part is ready for tooling discussion or still needs design cleanup.
Practical takeaway
T1 approval should review dimensions, cosmetic marks, gate vestige, assembly fit, material, color and correction actions before production release.
How to apply this guide
Use this guide as a preparation step before asking for mold price or production lead time. A stronger RFQ names the current project stage, the file format available, the expected first order, the annual volume, the target resin and the approval evidence needed after T1 samples.
If the project is still early, the guide can also show whether the next move is design cleanup, rapid tooling, production mold planning, material selection or quality-document scoping. That makes the inquiry more specific and helps the first engineering reply focus on decisions instead of basic clarification.
