A complete assembly starts with a complete scope.
When a request includes several components, hardware, welds, or finishing steps, Nova reviews how those operations fit together. Send the assembly information alongside the component requirements so the quotation can address the full job.
Define the components and the work between them.
Identify missing information when you submit. Review may need clarification before a complete quotation can be prepared.
- 01
Assembly and component drawings
Show the final geometry, mating relationships, dimensions, and tolerances. List the released assembly revision and the component revisions that belong to it.
- 02
Bill of materials and supplied items
Include component quantities, hardware specifications, and purchased items. State what you expect Nova to source and what you plan to supply.
- 03
Weld requirements
Identify weld locations, size or specification, and any required sequence, appearance, or inspection. Call out distortion-sensitive dimensions or surfaces that matter to the finished assembly.
- 04
Finish and final acceptance
Specify whether parts are finished before or after assembly, any masking or protected features, cosmetic faces, and the inspection or documentation required for the completed work.
The route follows the reviewed requirements.
Material availability, tooling, assembly steps, applicable partner processes, quantity, and timing are assessed together. State the quantity needed now and any anticipated repeats. Nova confirms the quoted scope, including setup and handling, before you decide whether to proceed.
Keep the drawing and the next run connected.
The quotation is reviewed for the quantity and requirements you submit.
- 01
Define the first run.
Submit the current drawing, quantity, and requirements. If the part is a prototype or first article, say what you need to evaluate or document.
- 02
Review the complete quote.
Nova reviews manufacturability, setup, handling, applicable partner processes, and timing. Use your private link to review the quotation before accepting it.
- 03
Request the next quantity.
Confirm the same specifications and drawing revision, then request a fresh quote with the new quantity and date. Share expected repeat demand to help plan future work.
Questions about the request.
Can Nova quote only part of the assembly scope?
Describe the work you need and clearly identify excluded or customer-supplied operations and components. Nova will review the proposed scope and confirm what is included in the quotation.
What if my assembly includes a required standard or certification?
State the exact requirement and the documentation or verification you need. Those requirements must be reviewed before quotation; submitting the request does not establish compliance or certification.
Can I send a prototype assembly first?
State that the request is for a prototype or first article, the quantity needed, and what you need to evaluate. Include expected production quantities if known so Nova can understand the intended next step.
How do I request the assembly again?
Confirm that the same specifications and attached drawing revisions still apply, then use the private request page to request a fresh quote for the new quantity and delivery date. Submit updated files through a new request when the assembly or a component revision changes.
Bring the assembly into focus.
Submit the current revision and requirements. Pricing, material availability, and production timing are confirmed after review.
