What happens after I submit a request for an estimate

After you submit the form, a member of the Tektonics team will review your project and follow up via email to discuss your needs, ask any clarifying questions, and determine how our capabilities align with your project.

What information should I include when requesting an estimate

Helpful information includes drawings or files (if available), quantities, materials, tolerances, timelines, and a description of the application or intended use. Providing context about the project helps our team evaluate fit and provide meaningful guidance.

What file formats can I submit for an estimate

Tektonics accepts a variety of file formats, including CAD files, PDFs, sketches, and reference images. If complete files are not available, the team can often work from partial information or early concepts.

Can I request an estimate if my project scope is not fully defined

Yes. Many clients contact Tektonics during early or exploratory stages. Our team can help clarify scope, interpret requirements, and identify manufacturable solutions before moving forward.

What types of production runs is Tektonics best suited for

Tektonics is optimized for medium to high-volume production runs. While one-off parts are typically limited to prototyping, our team focuses on projects that benefit from scalable production, repeatability, and in-house manufacturing expertise.

Do you produce one-off or custom individual parts

One-off parts are generally limited to first article efforts. Because Tektonics is structured for production manufacturing, producing single custom parts outside of first article prototypes can involve significant cost considerations, and may not always be the most efficient solution.

Does Tektonics provide estimates for prototypes and production

Yes. Tektonics provides estimates for prototypes, pilot builds, and production manufacturing. Our team can also help determine whether a project is best suited for short-run production or higher-volume manufacturing.

Is my project information kept confidential

Yes. Tektonics treats all submitted project information as confidential and can support NDAs when required. Files and details shared for estimating purposes are handled securely.
