Prototype DFM Review
Use this path when drawings are still changing and your team needs manufacturability feedback before tooling.
Send: STEP/DXF revision, OD-ID-height, tooth count, tolerance notes
Review related capabilitySend CAD files, magnetic targets, operating conditions, sample quantity, annual forecast, and destination so sales engineering can return a practical quote path.

Attach STEP/DXF/PDF plus frequency, flux density, sample quantity, annual forecast, and destination.
Axial flux core inquiries fail when tooling, material, magnetic, and production questions are mixed too late. Start with the route that matches your current decision gate.
Use this path when drawings are still changing and your team needs manufacturability feedback before tooling.
Send: STEP/DXF revision, OD-ID-height, tooth count, tolerance notes
Review related capabilityUse this path when geometry is close to frozen and tooling direction, density risk, and cost sharing matter.
Send: Tooling target, compaction direction, draft angle, pilot volume
Review related capabilityUse this path when SMC grade, B-H curve, high-frequency core loss, or density targets drive the decision.
Send: Flux density, frequency, iron loss target, temperature window
Review related capabilityUse this path when prototype parts are approved and procurement needs quality files, packaging, and delivery planning.
Send: Pilot batch, annual forecast, AQL, destination, report package
Review related capability| Required Item | Example | Why It Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Drawing package | STEP, DXF, 2D PDF, drawing revision, NDA status | Lets engineering check compaction direction, machining allowance, tooth detail, and inspection datum early. |
| Application target | eVTOL propulsion, humanoid joint, drone motor, EV traction | Narrows duty cycle, reliability, vibration, thermal, and validation assumptions. |
| Magnetic targets | Flux density, frequency, iron loss limit, B-H or permeability need | Supports SMC route selection and defines whether magnetic loss validation is required. |
| Operating environment | Temperature range, cooling method, corrosion risk, vibration profile | Connects material, coating, insulation, and packaging decisions to real service conditions. |
| Quantity and delivery plan | Prototype qty, pilot batch, annual forecast, destination, Incoterm | Improves tooling, MOQ, lead-time, price, and export packaging accuracy. |
Send only what is needed for the current gate. A complete CAD package is helpful, but early DFM can start from envelope geometry and target magnetic assumptions.
| Package | Files / Inputs | Typical Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum RFQ package | STEP or DXF, 2D drawing/PDF, application summary, quantity plan, destination country | Enough for first-round quote direction and clarification list. |
| Engineering review package | Material assumption, flux density, frequency, iron loss target, temperature range, tolerance stack | Enough for SMC grade route, DFM risk, and validation scope review. |
| Pilot transfer package | Approved drawing, acceptance criteria, inspection report needs, packaging spec, forecast ramp | Enough to align quality files, packaging, and delivery control. |
Use this structure when your team wants quote direction without a long clarification cycle.
Hello Axial Flux Core team, I would like to request a quotation or engineering review for an axial flux motor core / AFPM SMC stator project. Please review our requirements below: - Application / Use Case: - Target Product: axial flux motor core / AFPM SMC stator / YASA segmented teeth / lamination & winding / compaction tooling / validation support - Drawing Package: STEP / DXF / PDF revision and NDA status - Core Geometry: OD, ID, thickness, tooth count, slot count, assembly interface, tolerance notes - Material Route: SMC grade assumption, density target, coating or insulation requirement - Magnetic Target: flux density, operating frequency, core loss target, B-H or permeability requirement - Operating Conditions: temperature range, duty cycle, vibration or corrosion environment - Quantity Plan: prototype quantity, pilot batch, annual forecast - Validation Files Needed: dimensional report, density report, magnetic loss data, insulation test, packaging documents - Delivery Target: destination country, Incoterm, requested ship date Looking forward to your response.
For high-value AFPM programs, define acceptance evidence before sample PO so engineering and procurement do not approve different things.
Include STEP/DXF/PDF drawing files or geometry limits, application target, frequency, flux density, temperature range, iron loss target, prototype quantity, annual forecast, destination, and required validation files.
Yes. Mark NDA status in the first message and share only the files required for DFM, material route, and quote direction until both teams align on confidentiality handling.
Complete RFQs usually receive first-round engineering feedback and quote direction within one business day. Incomplete RFQs receive a clarification list first.
Yes. Early STEP/DXF or envelope geometry is useful for prototype DFM, compaction direction, density risk, and validation planning before tooling is committed.
Dimensional reports, density records, B-H or permeability data, core loss data, insulation checks, coating or corrosion notes, and export packaging documents can be aligned during RFQ.
