Quotation & RFQ

Send 2D and 3D data, or a sketch. A quotation comes back in 1-3 working days, with the mould type, the steel grade and the component brands written on it.

Most tooling quotations arrive as a single number and a lead time. That is fine until you want to know why one supplier is thirty percent cheaper, and by then the tool is already being cut.

TJ-Teck quotes against a set of named choices instead. You can see which mould type was assumed, which steel grade was priced, which mould base and which hot runner brand. If your budget does not stretch to the first assumption, there is a visible second option rather than a silent substitution.

How it works

Four steps from enquiry to a comparable price

1

Send what you have

2D and 3D data is ideal. A simple sketch is enough to start. If the design is not frozen, say so and the quotation is written against the version you send.

2

Review and questions

If something in the geometry will drive cost out of proportion, you hear about it during the quotation, not after the order.

3

Quotation in 1-3 working days

Issued with the mould type, steel grade, mould base, hot runner and component brands stated, plus the cavitation the price assumes.

4

Options where you want them

If you are not a tooling specialist, TJ-Teck proposes alternatives matched to your budget rather than assuming the most expensive build.

What the quotation names

The choices behind the number

Every one of these appears on a TJ-Teck quotation, so two prices can actually be compared. All of them are taken from the published TJ-Teck supplier and grade lists.

Frequently asked questions

How fast is a quotation?

1-3 working days from receiving your 2D and 3D data, or a sketch.

What if we do not know which mould type we need?

Say what the part does and roughly how many you buy a year. The quotation proposes a mould type and explains what a different choice would change.

Can we specify our own component brands?

Yes. Hasco, DME, Meusburger, Progress, Misumi, Cumsa, Staubli, AHP Merkle, HPS, Parker and HEB are all quoted directly.
