Custom parts for robotics, medical, automotive, aerospace and industrial equipment
Start from how the part is used—loads, environment, cleanliness, validation stage—then send CAD for a reviewed RFQ. MakeNexa routes projects through a global supplier network. Industry context shapes the questions we ask; exact qualifications, records and acceptance criteria stay project-specific.

Same process, different industry questions
A robotics bracket, medical instrument housing and vehicle fixture may all be CNC or sheet metal, yet they need different revision control, cleanliness, material records and change rules. Tell us the operating context of the real part—not just the process name.
Attach the governing drawing and any customer specs, mark controlled sources, and say which records must travel with the quote or shipment. Engineering reviews those boundaries before routing.

Context to convert into RFQ requirements
Do not rely on the industry label alone.
| Context | Requirement questions | What the quote should confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Program stage | Concept, prototype, validation, production, replacement or repair? | Appropriate route, evidence and change flexibility |
| Supplier restriction | Customer-approved source, geography, export or qualification constraints? | Eligible supplier and data-access boundary |
| Quality | Critical features, inspection method, sampling and release records? | Measurement and document scope |
| Change control | Who controls design revisions, substitutions and deviations? | Communication and authorization path |
| Delivery | Single build, phased validation, scheduled releases or service urgency? | Commercial and logistics plan |
Preparation
Avoid unsupported industry assumptions
State facts at the project level.
01Do not infer a certification from the industry name
02Identify controlled customer specifications explicitly
03Separate prototype acceptance from production release
04Limit sensitive or export-controlled data to the approved route
05Define required traceability and records before quotation
06Confirm substitutions and deviations through the buyer
Frequently asked questions
Questions to resolve before quotation
Use the submitted quote and written clarification as the project-specific record.
Does MakeNexa serve regulated industries?
MakeNexa can review projects from regulated sectors, but exact supplier qualifications, data controls, certificates and compliance requirements are confirmed for each RFQ before routing.
Can I share an assembly or BOM?
Yes. Use the RFQ form to upload the BOM, drawings and supporting documents, then identify shared materials, finishes, delivery groups and controlled suppliers.
How should export-controlled or sensitive data be handled?
State the restriction before uploading sensitive content. The ordinary intake route must not be assumed to satisfy a specialized data-control requirement until MakeNexa confirms the handling path.
Can different processes be sourced as one program?
Potentially. Package the related parts together and identify assembly, qualification and delivery dependencies. The reviewed quote will confirm the supported scope.
