Quotation Evaluation
Die-Casting Project Quotation Requirements & Supported File Formats
Core Quotation Elements
1. Basic Information
· Product Requirements:
· 3D/2D drawings (with critical dimensions, tolerances, and surface finish requirements).
· Material specifications (e.g., aluminum alloy A380, magnesium alloy AZ91D).
· Annual demand (order quantity per batch, long-term collaboration expectations).
2. Mold Costs
· Mold Type: Single-cavity/multi-cavity, cold-chamber/hot-chamber die-casting.
· Mold Lifespan: Estimated production cycles (e.g., 500,000 shots).
· Cost Allocation: One-time payment or amortized across bulk orders.
3. Processing Costs
· Die-Casting Process:
· Machine tonnage (e.g., 400T, 800T).
· Cycle time per part.
· Post-Processing: Deburring, heat treatment, CNC machining, surface treatments (spraying/plating/anodizing).
4. Material Costs
· Alloy Price: Based on market fluctuations (e.g., 2025 aluminum price: ~CNY 25/kg; magnesium: ~CNY 35/kg).
· Scrap Rate: Typically 5–10% (recycled for cost deduction).
5. Additional Fees
· Testing Standards: Dimensional tolerances (±0.1mm), leak testing, X-ray inspection.
· Packaging & Logistics: Anti-rust/anti-shock packaging, shipping method (air/sea).
· Taxes & Certifications: VAT (13%), export tariffs, IATF 16949 certification fees (if required).
Supported File Formats
1. Design Files
· 3D Models: STEP, IGES, STP, X_T (Parasolid), CATPart.
· 2D Drawings: PDF, DWG, DXF (with full dimensions and technical notes).
2. Process Specifications
· Surface Treatment Requirements: PDF/Word (e.g., salt spray test ≥500 hours).
· Inspection Report Templates: Excel/PDF (e.g., CPK ≥1.33).
3. Quotation Templates
· Formats: Excel, PDF (include unit price, total cost, payment terms).
Quotation Process Example
00001. Requirement Confirmation: Client provides drawings and specifications.
00002. Mold Evaluation: Engineers assess complexity and cost (3–5 working days).
00003. Material Calculation: Alloy usage based on part weight and scrap rate.
00004. Processing Quotation: Costs tied to process difficulty and equipment utilization.
00005. Final Quotation: PDF/Excel file with itemized breakdown and total price.
Additional Notes
· MOQ: Typically 500–1,000 pieces (small batches incur mold cost surcharges).
· Lead Time: Mold development (4–8 weeks), mass production (1–3 weeks, depending on volume).
· Bulk Order Discounts: Mold fees waived or unit price discounts for annual orders >100,000 pieces.
