Trying to avoid buying a Haas TM-1P for many jobs we have like this... I'd prefer to outsource this type of work if possible.
We have a very busy race team and growing automotive product businesses. We run Solidworks in our engineering department, CAD files are clean because I used to run a Haas and know how much time it takes to clean up CAD mess...
We run Just in Time manufacturing methods to manage capital with inventory control. Smaller batch runs, some parts more often than others, but the awarded vendor will continue to run the same parts over and over as customer demand requires.
I hope to find one shop, or two, who can handle all of our future needs with many products, 99% of which are 6061-T6 aluminum.
Two different parts for this quote, but are very similar and use the same tooling and material blanks. These simple parts are just to test the waters here, we have quite a few other parts in need of immeadiate manufacturing.
25 parts of each CAD file required, delivery of all 50 parts required at the same time.
The ideal future partner would also be willing to assist in one off prototyping for a somewhat reasonable cost. Most prototypes have already been test fitted through waterjet profiles before machined prototypes are required, so understanding the need for cost effective first articles with future products is essential, and will likely move into production without further design revisions (you shouldn't be reprogramming the same part multiple times).
CAD files in whichever format you want (.igs, x_t, native Solidworks etc) with a signed NDA.
This RFQ:
1. RFQ closes next Wednesday, September 23rd 2009.
2. Purchase order will be issued by Friday September 25th 2009.
3. Parts will be decorative anodized after we recieve them. Consequently, surface finish is critical.
4. Deburred by machine only, no hand finishing (due to anodizing)
5. Parts required at our facility in Charlotte, NC on or before October 5th 2009.
6. Payment by Company credit card or Company check, COD. Once we know you and your work quality, we'll be happy to pay a percentage deposit up front with each purchase order for all future work.
The successful vendor will recieve further CAD files for additional VMC work immeadiatley following the successful completion and delivery of this job.
Please forward all quotes and correspondence to: manufacturing@autosportdynamics.com
No phone calls please!
Thank you all in advance for quoting this job, and we look forward to building a long and successful relationship with the awarded recipient.
