Engineer-Reviewed CNC Machining Quote in 6 Hours

A CNC machining quote from DEK is prepared by an engineer who reads your drawing, not by a calculator. Send your files and get unit price, lead time and DFM notes within 6 hours.

Why We Do Not Use an Automated Quote Calculator

Buyers sometimes ask for a CNC machining quote online, meaning an automated price from an uploaded model. DEK does not offer one: calculators estimate cutting time from geometry and miss what drives cost on precision parts. A manual review catches it before the order.

Requirements

In order to provide a more accurate quotation, please provide detailed requirements.

Export the 3D CAD files in the correct format.
Please export your 3D CAD files to either STEP, IGS, or Parasolid formats. For 3D printing projects, we can only accept STL files. While STL files are suitable for 3D printing, we strongly recommend using STEP format whenever possible. Unfortunately, we cannot accept OBJ files as they do not contain accurate geometric data required for manufacturing.
Provide 2D CAD drawings for precision parts.
For precision parts with tight tolerance, it is better offer us 2D CAD drawings in PDF or DWG format, so we can better understand your needs and give you an accurate quote.
Note the quantity required for each part.
Please indicate the quantity for each part, as different quantities may involve varying manufacturing processes and costs.

What to Send With Your Request for Quote

3D CAD Model

A STEP, STP, IGES or SLDPRT model defines the geometry used for programming and cycle-time estimation. It is the core of any request for quote CNC package.

STEP
STP
IGES
SLDPRT

2D Drawing (PDF)

The PDF drawing carries the tolerances, threads, finish symbols and critical dimensions the model cannot. Send it alongside the 3D model, not instead of it.

Quantity, Grade, Finish

Quantities with future batches (setup amortizes differently at 5, 50 and 5,000 pieces), material grade, and any finish or heat treatment affecting dimensions.

Quantity

Finish

Tolerances and Documents

Mark critical dimensions and the tightest tolerances so the engineer can plan grinding, EDM or extra inspection, and list the reports you need with the parts.

Payment and Confidentiality

Drawings are seen only by staff working on your order, and a signed NDA is available before you send any files. DEK accepts bank transfer and PayPal, with prepayment on new accounts. Pricing factors are explained in our CNC machining cost guide.

What Your CNC Machining Quote Includes

Every quote is checked by an engineer. Tolerances of ±0.005 mm on metal and ±0.01 mm on plastics are standard across our CNC machining service.

What You Get Back With Every Quote

Every quote comes back with the figures and engineering notes needed to issue a purchase order.

Unit price at each quantity you asked for
Lead time for machining plus the shipping option quoted
Shipping cost by DHL, FedEx or UPS, or sea freight for heavy orders
DFM notes: thin walls, deep pockets, unreachable corners or tolerances that push the part into a more expensive process
Material and finish confirmation, with a cheaper alternative suggested where function allows

What a Cutting-Time Calculator Misses

A calculator estimates cutting time from geometry. An engineer reading the drawing prices what the geometry alone does not reveal, before the order rather than as a change request after.

Heat-treat distortion: hardened 4140 or 17-4 PH parts move after treatment, so holding ±0.005 mm means planning stock for post-grinding.
Post-grinding and EDM: bores, sharp internal corners and ground faces need a second process.
Tight tolerances: a cutting-time model prices ±0.01 mm the same as ±0.1 mm.

See Cost Factors

On the Drawing	What the Engineer Plans
Hardened 4140 or 17-4 PH	Stock left for post-grinding
Bores, sharp inner corners	A grinding or EDM step
±0.01 mm instead of ±0.1 mm	New setup, slower feed
Tight tolerance features	An extra inspection step
Unclear call-outs	Questions before the price

Quote and RFQ Questions

Turnaround, file formats, minimum order and how long a quote stays valid.

How long does a CNC machining quote take at DEK?

Most quotes are returned within 6 hours of receiving complete files. Very complex parts or multi-part assemblies can take up to 3 days.

What file formats do you accept for an RFQ?

PDF drawings plus STEP, STP, IGES or SLDPRT models. A 2D PDF with tolerances and finish call-outs is strongly recommended alongside the 3D model.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

No. DEK quotes and machines from one piece to 10,000+ pieces, with unit price shown at every quantity you request so you can see how setup cost is amortized.

How long is a quote valid?

12–15 days. Material prices change, so quotes older than that are refreshed at no charge before an order is confirmed.
