FAQ

Upload CAD — questions

How fast is "on-demand" at PifyC?

Quote response: average 4 hours during business hours, under 24 hours for complex RFQs. First-article production lead times: CNC 3–7 days, 3D printing 2–5 days, sheet metal 5–10 days, injection molding prototypes 14–21 days. Rush service available at 1.5–2× standard cost for same-day quote + next-day production start on simple parts.

Do I need a drawing, or is CAD enough?

For 80% of parts, 3D CAD (STEP file preferred) is enough — we extract dimensions directly from the model. For parts with critical tolerances, surface finish callouts, GD&T requirements, or special materials: provide a 2D drawing (PDF) with the 3D model. Our engineers can generate a drawing from CAD if needed, but direct drawings eliminate ambiguity.

What CAD file formats do you accept?

Preferred: STEP (.step, .stp) — universal format. Also accepted: IGES (.igs), Parasolid (.x_t, .x_b), SolidWorks (.sldprt), Pro/Engineer / Creo (.prt), Autodesk Inventor (.ipt), Fusion 360 (.f3d), Catia (.CATPart). For 2D drawings: PDF is standard, DWG and DXF also accepted.

Can I get multiple quotes for different quantities?

Yes — quote-for-quantities is standard. Typical quote includes 3 breakpoints (e.g., 10 / 100 / 1,000 parts) to show volume discounts. This helps you select the right quantity when cost is tight. Let us know your target quantity range in your RFQ and we'll price accordingly.

How do I upload CAD files?

Three options: (1) Quote form on /quote.html — drag-and-drop file upload, most common method. (2) Email directly to [email protected] with files attached. (3) Large files (>100 MB) or sensitive files — request a secure upload link (SFTP or OneDrive) and we'll send a private transfer link. NDAs signed before receipt on sensitive files.

What countries do you ship to?

50+ countries regularly. Primary markets: USA, Canada, Mexico, Germany, UK, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Australia, Israel. DHL Priority Express standard (3–5 business days to USA). For non-urgent shipments, FedEx Economy or sea freight available for cost reduction. EU customs cleared through our EU-registered freight partner.
