DRAWING REVIEW SERVICES
Manufacturing Drawing Review Before CNC Machining
Upload your CAD model and technical drawing before quotation. HongKe reviews geometry, tolerances, datums, materials and inspection requirements to identify questions that could affect manufacturability, pricing or production.

What We Check in Your Drawing
We focus on the inputs that affect manufacturability, process choice, quotation clarity and the ability to inspect the finished part.
Tolerances & Dimensions
Critical dimensions, conflicts, tolerance stacks and requirements tighter than functional need.
Datums & Feature Relationships
Datum definitions, functional references and relationships between related features.
Material & Condition
Material grade, condition, hardness and heat-treatment requirements.
Surface Finish & Secondary Operations
Finishes and secondary operations that may affect routing or final dimensions.
Inspection Requirements
Critical characteristics, measurement notes and required inspection records.
Avoid Problems Before Production
Early questions help prevent assumptions from moving into process planning and quotation.
Unnecessarily Tight Tolerances
Can add cost and process risk without improving function.
Missing / Unclear Datums
Can cause setup, inspection and assembly ambiguity.
Conflicting Dimensions
Can create competing machining and inspection requirements.
Difficult-to-Machine Features
Can require a different geometry, tool strategy or process.
Incomplete Material Information
Can delay process selection, finishing and quotation.
Unclear Inspection Requirements
Can leave critical features without an agreed verification method.

Engineering Feedback (Example)
- A
Datum Clarification
Confirm the primary datum used to locate and inspect this feature.
- B
Tolerance Review
Confirm whether the specified tolerance is functionally required.
- C
Internal Radius / Geometry
Review the internal radius against cutter access and machining strategy.
- D
Surface Finish / Secondary Process
Confirm finish, masking and edge requirements before final sizing.
Illustrative example only. Actual feedback depends on the submitted drawing and project requirements.
What You Receive After Review
Focused engineering questions create a clearer basis for quotation.
Manufacturability Feedback
Geometry or manufacturing risks that need attention.
Tolerance Questions
Questions about dimensions, tolerances, datums or functional intent.
Process Recommendation
A machining route suited to the submitted part.
Quotation Clarifications
Inputs that must be confirmed before pricing.
Feedback scope depends on the submitted drawing and project requirements.

Questions Before You Upload
Use the current files and requirements available to you. Missing information can be identified during review.
What files should I upload?
Upload the available 3D CAD model and technical drawing, together with material, quantity, finish and inspection requirements. Accepted files are DWG, DXF, STEP, STP, STL, IGES, IGS, PDF and ZIP, up to 20 MB.
Do you need both 3D CAD and 2D drawings?
When available, provide both. The 3D model helps communicate geometry, while the 2D drawing identifies critical dimensions, tolerances, datums, finishes and inspection notes that may not be defined in the model.
Can you review tolerances before quotation?
Yes. HongKe reviews drawing tolerances in relation to geometry, material, feature access, functional intent and the proposed measurement method before quotation requirements are confirmed.
Can you recommend a different manufacturing process?
Yes. Drawing review may indicate that CNC milling, CNC turning, 5-axis machining, Wire EDM or a combined route is more suitable for the submitted geometry and requirements.
Can HongKe sign an NDA before reviewing my drawing?
Confidentiality terms can be discussed before file review and must be confirmed for the specific project. Do not assume an NDA is active until the terms have been agreed by both parties.
What happens if the drawing information is incomplete?
HongKe identifies missing or unclear inputs and sends the relevant questions for clarification. Quotation follows after the material, quantity, critical requirements and applicable process information are sufficiently defined.
