When requesting a quotation, buyers should understand what is included in the tooling price. Different manufacturers may provide different quotation structures.
A tooling quotation commonly includes:
Tool design
CNC machining of the tooling
Tool assembly
Tool fitting and adjustment
Initial trial or sample production
Some suppliers may quote these items separately, while others include them in a single tooling price. Confirming the quotation scope before placing an order helps avoid misunderstandings later in the project.
