Describe the part
Include geometry, maximum dimensions, material behaviour and surface detail. State dimensional requirements as targets to evaluate.
Preparation checklist
- Describe the smallest critical features and the largest intended part.
- Separate dimensional tolerance targets from surface, fit and appearance preferences.
- List material needs and intended use; a printer alone does not establish medical suitability.
Explain the workload
Share typical batches, operating frequency and post-processing needs. Consider the people who will operate the system.
Preparation checklist
- Estimate parts per batch and frequency rather than only a machine speed target.
- Include preparation, supports, washing/curing or other relevant finishing steps.
- Name operator experience, software workflow and sample-part review requirements.
Prepare the installation brief
Add the destination, available space, utilities and requested support. Ask for configuration-specific documentation and agreed sample checks.
Preparation checklist
- State the destination market, available space and installation constraints.
- Ask which power, ventilation, handling and safety provisions apply to the proposed process.
- Identify training, spares, documentation and support expectations before configuration is fixed.
A planning example
Fictional example for preparing a brief; not a supplied product, completed case or feasibility guarantee.
- Use
- A lab wants to evaluate a printer configuration for small, detailed demonstration parts.
- Input
- A non-sensitive sample geometry, approximate build envelope, intended material family and expected workload.
- Open decisions
- Printing process, finishing workflow, critical dimensions, operator training and installation needs.
- Review
- Review an agreed sample and measurement method before accepting a configuration; targets are not published machine specifications.
Before a quotation is agreed
- A configuration list identifies included hardware, software and accessories.
- Sample geometry, material, measurement method and acceptance targets are agreed together.
- Installation prerequisites, operator training and support boundaries are recorded.
Use targets and open questions here. Technical feasibility, scope and acceptance criteria need written confirmation.
