Prototype sheet parts
Cut-and-bend or soft-tool route reviewed for initial fit and design checks.

Drawing-based sheet-metal components
Stamped & Formed Parts
Stamped and formed parts sourced by released drawing, sheet material and thickness, blank and formed geometry, bend radii, hole and burr direction, grain or cosmetic requirements, tooling basis, finish, inspection and volume.
- Released drawing, revision, units, annual/order quantity and forecast
- Sheet material specification, thickness and condition
- Flat/formed datums, bends, radii, holes, burr and grain direction
- Tooling ownership, sample stages, finish, masking and cosmetic zones
- Critical inspection, packaging method and handling protection
A product page is an RFQ starting point, not a blanket capability or compliance claim. Final feasibility, process route, tolerances, testing, lead time and supply scope are stated only in the written quotation.
Quotation control
Information used to review the drawing RFQ
The released file, revision, units, tolerance scheme, material, process, quantity, inspection and destination are aligned before supplier routing.
| Field | Review basis | Order control |
|---|---|---|
| Part / file basis | Released part drawing, revision, units, quantity and tooling/commercial assumptions | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Geometry / tolerances | Blank outline, formed dimensions, bend angles/radii, holes, embosses, tabs and tolerances | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Material / condition | Sheet grade/specification, thickness, temper/condition and grain direction where required | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Process / finish | Stamping, blanking, piercing, bending, drawing, deburring, coating and masking as agreed | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Inspection / approval | Flat and formed datums, fixture/gage plan, sample approval, critical records and cosmetic criteria | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Packing / commercial | Prototype/soft-tool or production-tool route, tooling ownership, quantity, packing and destination | Confirmed per RFQ |
Drawing-based sourcing
Flat geometry, forming and tooling must be reviewed together
A formed-part drawing must distinguish dimensions controlled before and after forming, together with bend radii, angle, springback allowance, hole relation, burr direction and cosmetic or functional surfaces.
Tooling cost and route depend strongly on geometry and volume. XHT coordinates feasibility and quotation but does not imply that a prototype route, sample tool or production tool is included unless stated in writing.
What to include in your RFQ
- Released drawing, revision, units, annual/order quantity and forecast
- Sheet material specification, thickness and condition
- Flat/formed datums, bends, radii, holes, burr and grain direction
- Tooling ownership, sample stages, finish, masking and cosmetic zones
- Critical inspection, packaging method and handling protection
Controlled RFQ fields
Items that define a comparable quotation
Common stamped and formed part RFQ fields. The approved drawing, sample plan and tooling basis control the final route.
| Selection | Buyer input | Control |
|---|---|---|
| Material / thickness | Exact sheet specification, thickness tolerance, condition and grain direction | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Blank features | Outline, holes, slots, notches, embosses, burr direction and edge condition | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Formed geometry | Bend lines, angles, radii, depths, springback and formed datums | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Tooling basis | Prototype method, soft tool, production tool, ownership and maintenance terms | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Finish / cosmetics | Coating, passivation, masking, visible zones and handling limits | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Inspection / packing | Fixture/gage, sample stages, critical report and deformation-safe packing | Confirmed per RFQ |
Missing information: XHT may raise clarification points or propose a documented alternative for review. No changed material, dimension, tolerance, process or finish becomes the order basis without buyer approval.
Technical & file control
Separate sample method from production tooling
A laser-cut and bent prototype may not reproduce every edge, grain, burr, forming mark or rate capability of a production stamping route. Any approved transition between routes must be documented by the buyer.
Before sharing files: Send only technical files you are authorized to transmit. If an NDA, access restriction or special transfer method is required, agree the route with XHT before uploading the file.
Typical sourcing routes
The route follows geometry, process and quantity
Examples guide the RFQ only. Supplier selection and process feasibility remain subject to the released requirement and written quotation.
02
Production stampings
Tooling, material feed, inspection and forecast volume aligned in advance.
03
Clips & brackets
Spring behaviour, bend geometry and host interface controlled by the drawing.
04
Deep-drawn forms
Material, draw geometry, wall/edge limits and sample stages reviewed separately.
Order coordination
A controlled route from file review to shipment
Sampling, inspection, traceability and packing are supplied only when agreed in the quotation and purchase order.
01
File intake
Part number, revision, units and critical notes are identified.
02
Feasibility routing
Potential sources and process routes are reviewed against the RFQ.
03
Sample & inspection
Approval sample and inspection scope follow the agreed order plan.
04
Lot & packing follow-up
Revision, quantity, labels, lot separation and export packing are coordinated.
