    Default RFQ for ABS/Carbon Fiber parts

    Hello Shop Bot Forum,

    I am in the final stages of product development for a project that I will be launching on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo. I am about to put several similar parts out for quotes. One set of parts will be made from three-quarter inch thick ABS plastic with a chamfered edge and gentle profile including three round holes all the way through the 3/4 inch material. These parts have been designed so that they can be cut from one side on a CNC router... The alternate side is flat and does not have the chamfered edge. These are not high-end parts, there are not huge margins in this. They will also have relatively forgiving tolerances. I am anticipating about 500 each of two parts for a total of 1000 parts per run . Each of these parts will be approximately three-quarter by three-quarter by 2.5 inches and would be able to be cut from a three-quarter inch thick sheet or three-quarter by three-quarter square rod.
    The other set of parts will be cut out of 2 mm thick carbon fiber plate/sheet. These parts will have a chamfered edge and will be approximately 0.5" x 2.5" x 2 mm thick with three holes through them. I will need approximately 1000 each of two separate parts for a total of 2000 parts.
    I'm hoping to get at least three quotes when I have the finalized drawings ready. Please let me know if you would be interested in quoting these parts or if you have a referral for someone who might be.
    I am anticipating supplying the materials upfront for the parts if that makes a difference in your interest.
    If this is not the appropriate forum or place to post this please advise.

    Thanks

    Joel
