A workshop could ask about the model’s purpose, dimensions and available file. Customers would indicate whether appearance or assembly is the priority. Technical review would precede the quote. The accepted version would be stored with the chosen finish, and later changes would be evaluated before another model is produced from a revised file.
An illustrative example to adapt to your business. It does not represent a completed project in this municipality.
Can price be calculated from volume alone?
That calculation can provide a starting point, but preparation time, geometry and finish also matter. Present an estimate as provisional until the workshop has reviewed the actual file.
What if the customer has no digital model?
Offer a separate design enquiry using initial images or dimensions. This helps the customer understand that preparing the file and producing the physical model are two distinct stages.
