Customer Supplied
eMachineShop normally supplies raw materials for parts to be made. Customer-supplied material is accepted upon request, usually when the material is not readily available or when the customer has an existing supply. To supply material to eMachineShop:
- Choose Job | Material.
- Select the closest matching material.
- Check Request Special Material.
- Estimate how much material is needed accounting for work-holding area and some rejects.
- In the Special Material dialog enter instructions.
Example 1:"We need blue acrylic with a semi-transparent mirror surface. If you can acquire the material please proceed under the conditions shown in the Special Material dialog. Otherwise we can supply (24) 12" x 12" sheets, in which case please advise the total job price with material cost credit for our approval."
Example 2: "We will supply SS-301 to eMachineShop in (3) 1" diameter x 6 ft rods. Please advise the total job price with material cost
credit for our approval."
- Place your order and wait for a manual price quotation.
