How we work
QProcess runs every project in five steps: engineering review, process and production planning, quotation, samples and series delivery. You send the drawings and requirements, we plan and manage production in Türkiye, and you keep one contact who answers for the result.

How a project runs
Who does what at each step. QProcess stays between you and the manufacturer from the first drawing to the delivered batch.
Step 1: Engineering review
- You
- Send drawing, material, quantities
- QProcess
- Check tolerances, material, critical featuresAsk open questions
- Manufacturer
- Nothing at this step
- You receive
- Question listbefore any price
Step 2: Process & production planning
- You
- Nothing at this step
- QProcess
- Match process, equipment and capacity
- Manufacturer
- Confirms feasibility and price
- You receive
- Selected routeprocess and manufacturer
Step 3: Quotation
- You
- Approve the order
- QProcess
- One offer: part, tooling, inspection, delivery
- Manufacturer
- Nothing at this step
- You receive
- Quotationin 3–5 working days
Step 4: First articles
- You
- Approve the samples
- QProcess
- First article inspectionCheck 3.1 certificate
- Manufacturer
- Makes first articles
- You receive
- FAI report, 3.1 certificatebefore series release
Step 5: Series and delivery
- You
- Receive parts EXW, FCA or DAP
- QProcess
- In-process inspection on sitePre-shipment inspectionExport documents
- Manufacturer
- Series production
- You receive
- Inspection reportswith every shipment
Step 1: Engineering review of drawing and requirements
A project starts with a technical review of your drawings and requirements. We check material, tolerances, surface requirements, quantities and documents before anything is quoted, and we come back with questions where the drawing leaves room for interpretation.
What we need from you
2D drawing (PDF), 3D model (STEP) if available, material and standard, quantity per batch and per year, target delivery date, required inspection documents.
What you receive
a list of open technical questions, and where relevant a suggestion on process or material that makes the part easier to produce.
Step 2: Process and production planning
The manufacturer is selected per project, based on the part, the process, the volume, the material and any certification your sector requires. A sand casting in ductile iron and a machined stainless shaft go to different specialists. For regulated sectors such as aerospace, medical and automotive, we work with manufacturers holding the certification the sector requires, for example AS9100, ISO 13485 or IATF 16949.
What we need from you
any approved-supplier or audit requirements on your side.
What you receive
the process route we propose for the part. Choosing and managing the manufacturer is our responsibility.
Step 3: Quotation
The quotation comes from QProcess and covers the full scope: part price per quantity, tooling or patterns where needed, inspection, documents, packaging and delivery terms.
What we need from you
confirmation of the quantities and delivery terms (Incoterms) you want quoted.
What you receive
one written quotation, with tooling shown as a separate item. Tooling paid for by the customer remains the customer’s property.
Step 4: Samples and first article approval
Before series production, the manufacturer produces first articles. The samples are measured against your drawing and checked for material, and the results are documented in a first article inspection report. Additional tests such as non-destructive testing, pressure tests or mechanical tests are carried out where the drawing or your specification calls for them.
What we need from you
approval of the samples and the inspection report, or a list of corrections.
What you receive
samples, a first article inspection report and material certificates.
Step 5: Series production and delivery
During series production we follow the schedule with the manufacturer and inspect the parts before shipment. We organise export packaging, customs documents and transport to your site.
What we need from you
call-off quantities and delivery dates.
What you receive
parts with the agreed documents, such as a dimensional report and a material certificate to EN 10204 3.1, plus export and shipping documents.
Information needed for a quotation
A complete request saves a round of questions. Please send:
2D drawing (PDF) with tolerances, and a 3D model (STEP or IGES) if available
Material grade and standard, for example EN-GJS-400-15 or EN AC-AlSi7Mg0.3
Quantity per batch and annual quantity
Required delivery date, and the delivery terms you prefer
Surface treatment, coating or heat treatment requirements
Required inspection documents, for example EN 10204 3.1 certificate, dimensional report, NDT reports
Packaging or labelling requirements, if any
You can send the request through the quote form or by email to [email protected].
Confidentiality and NDA
Your drawings are confidential and are used only to quote and produce your parts.
- Before a drawing goes to a manufacturer, we remove your company name and logo from it.
- We share drawings only with the manufacturers we ask to quote.
- We sign a non-disclosure agreement on request, before you send any drawings.
Processes we manage
The same five steps apply to every process we supply: casting, forging, CNC machining, engineering plastics and secondary operations. Inspection steps and documents are described on the quality page.
Frequently asked questions
Do I deal with the manufacturer directly?
No. QProcess is your contact and contract partner from quotation to delivery. We handle the technical discussion with the manufacturer, follow production and inspect the parts. If a technical question needs your engineers, we organise it and stay in the loop.
Do you make samples before series production?
Yes. Before series production the manufacturer produces first articles, which are measured against your drawing and documented in a first article inspection report. Series production starts after you approve the samples.
Can you supply prototypes or small batches?
Yes, as long as the process suits the quantity. Machined prototypes and sand castings work well in small numbers. For die casting or investment casting, tooling cost makes small batches expensive, and we will tell you so when we quote.
Send your drawing. You get a quotation in 3 to 5 working days.
Your drawings are handled confidentially; NDA on request.
