| Evidence to request | Tooling assumptions, DFM screenshots, mold progress checkpoints, T1 issue list and correction approval before production. |
How buyers should use this route
This page should help the buyer decide whether the conversation is ready for mold quotation, still needs DFM cleanup, or should start with a lower-risk pilot route. A useful inquiry does not only ask for a unit price. It explains the project stage, the part function, the approval gate, and the evidence needed before the buyer commits budget.
For competitive sourcing, compare suppliers on the assumptions behind the quote: cavity count, steel, gate strategy, visible marks, sample correction policy, quality records and what happens after T1. Those details usually explain more cost and lead-time difference than a short price table.
