Approved scope
The quote covers the stated files, quantities, materials, finish, deliverables and delivery assumptions.
From brief to delivery
One accountable workflow for turning a file, physical part, sketch or product idea into an approved result. You do not need to know the technical route before you contact us.
Start from where you are
You do not need to choose the technical route. Pick the starting point that best matches your project, and we will help define the next step.
Start with manufacturing assessment, material selection, quantity and finish.
Use scanning and reverse engineering when the object is the only reliable source of geometry.
Move from requirements and references into CAD, a prototype and a testable result.
Scope a sample, approved production standard and repeatable batch route.
The complete journey
Every project moves through a defined sequence so the right information, approvals, payment terms and delivery expectations are recorded before work advances.
You submit
Use the guided quotation form to share the file, photos or sketch, approximate size, intended use, quantity, finish, deadline and delivery location. Select every service that forms part of the job.
We review
We check whether the information is sufficient to quote accurately. If something important is missing, we request the specific file, measurement, photo or decision required.
We define
We define the deliverables, material or process, quantity, assumptions, exclusions, validity and delivery route. Where genuine specialist confirmation is required, we identify that step instead of leaving the enquiry without a next action.
You approve
You approve the written scope and payment terms. Most work begins after full payment. Larger projects may use an agreed 50% deposit. Production does not start until the required payment is received.
We build
The job follows the approved route. Projects involving design, scanning or product development may include staged reviews before the final manufacture or production batch.
We verify
We check the agreed deliverables, visible finish and practical requirements appropriate to the job. Any approved outstanding balance is due before collection or dispatch.
Delivered
We confirm collection or courier dispatch and provide tracking where available. If you have a query after delivery, reply with the project reference and clear details so the correct team can assess it.
Clear commercial control
Your written quotation defines the result, assumptions and payment route before production starts.
The quote covers the stated files, quantities, materials, finish, deliverables and delivery assumptions.
New requirements, design revisions or information discovered during development are discussed and priced before extra work continues.
Most work starts after full payment. Larger approved projects may use a 50% deposit, with the balance due before dispatch.
Accurate pricing
A reliable quote considers the complete job instead of applying one rate to every type of project.
Print-ready CAD is different from new design, scan cleanup, reverse engineering or repairing a damaged model.
Part dimensions, wall thickness, support, strength, temperature, flexibility and surface requirements affect the route.
A sample, one-off component and repeat batch carry different setup, testing and production assumptions.
Fit, accuracy, sanding, painting, resin coating, assembly and inspection must be defined where required.
Electronics, NFC tags, fasteners, packaging, inserts and other components are costed separately when needed.
Urgency, design approvals, production capacity, parcel size, destination and courier handling affect timing and cost.
Connected capability
A project can use one service or move through several connected services under one brief.
Print-ready parts, prototypes and batches
Physical part to mesh, CAD or replacement
Ideas, sketches, measurements and file changes
Design, make, test and improve
Approved samples and repeatable batches
Structural components and mixed processes
Production aids built around the task
Patterns for moulding and casting workflows
Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and nationwide
Before you begin
These answers explain the points that most often affect scoping, pricing and timing.
A clear photo can start the assessment, but accurate manufacturing normally also needs dimensions, a physical sample, scanning or CAD work. Include several angles and a ruler or known-size object for scale.
You can start with a sketch, measurements, reference product or physical part. We can assess CAD design, 3D scanning or reverse engineering before manufacturing.
Complete print-ready enquiries can usually be assessed faster than projects requiring design, testing or clarification. After review, we confirm the next action and request only the information needed to complete the scope.
The approved quotation covers its written scope and assumptions. If you request a change, new information is discovered, or a prototype requires a revised route, we explain the effect and obtain approval before additional work continues.
Most products and service jobs require full payment before work starts. Larger approved projects may use a 50% deposit, with the balance payable before dispatch.
Yes. We review projects nationwide and can coordinate suitable parts, samples and finished work by courier. Delivery assumptions are confirmed in the quotation.
Ready when you are
