Fabrication quotes need details around drawings, material, gauge, cut process, bends, welds, finish, hardware, packaging, quantity, and delivery timing. Taktum keeps that context in one RFQ record.

Quantity and packaging
Match suppliers by process fit
A fabricator that is strong at flat laser-cut parts may not be the right fit for formed assemblies, weldments, finish-critical parts, or tight delivery windows. Taktum helps preserve process-fit signals during routing.

Compare quote scope and exclusions
Fabrication quotes often differ by whether suppliers include material, finish, hardware, inspection, fixture cost, packaging, or shipping. Taktum keeps scope and exclusions visible for cleaner comparison.

Sheet metal fabrication process details
Sheet metal fabrication quotes depend on laser cutting, bending, welding, hardware insertion, powder coating, plating, gauge, bend allowance, weld requirements, packaging, lead-time assumptions, and inspection reports. Taktum helps buyers preserve those details so fabricators can compare scope and quote from the same requirement set.
