Project submission FAQs

Common questions before requesting a fabrication review.

Exact feasibility, pricing and scheduling depend on the information submitted and the fabrication requirements.

Ask a Question
What information should I include in the description?
Explain what needs to be fabricated, its intended use, approximate size, material, quantity, finish, assembly requirements and anything critical to fit or appearance.
Can I upload more than one file?
The current form retains its existing one-file upload configuration. Combine multiple files into a single ZIP archive when necessary, while remaining within the active Odoo upload-size limit.
What should I enter as the subject?
Use a short descriptive project name, such as “Acrylic Display Housing,” “Foam Event Letters,” or “CNC Routed Production Parts.”
Why is the complete address requested?
The delivery address helps evaluate pickup, parcel shipping, freight, packaging and destination-related project requirements.
Does submitting the form guarantee the deadline?
No. The requested deadline must be reviewed against file readiness, material availability, production capacity, finishing and delivery requirements.
Can one project use several fabrication processes?
Yes. Suitable projects may combine CNC routing, laser cutting, 3D printing, foam fabrication, vacuum forming, metalwork, graphics, finishing and assembly.
What happens after the form is submitted?
The CRM lead is routed using the existing team and user assignments. The team reviews the request and may contact you for additional technical information before quoting.
Do you work with customers outside Knoxville?
Suitable projects may be prepared for shipment within the United States. Large, fragile or oversized projects may require special freight coordination.
