What happens after you send Peak a quote request

A quote is not the program. After you send a request for quote (RFQ), Peak places the work at a US shop, vets that shop against the part, and stays on the program once you issue a purchase order (PO). This is how original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) should read the work — not a jobs pitch.

Direct answer

You send specs. Peak routes the RFQ to a US shop. The shop quotes tooling and piece-price. You issue a PO. The shop cuts steel or runs an existing tool. Peak tracks the work and stays on the program for reorders. There is no 48-hour clock. An NDA is not required to start.

The short answer

Send specs → Peak routes to a US shop → the shop quotes tooling and piece-price → you issue a PO → the shop cuts steel or runs an existing tool → Peak tracks and stays for reorders. There is no 48-hour clock. An NDA is not required to start.

What to send

Send drawings and a STEP file, or photos of an existing tool; the resin family; annual volume and whether this is a new program or a move; and target timing as context. A sketch is enough for a ballpark. A STEP file gets a tighter shop quote. Exact numbers come after the shop sees CAD and does DFM if needed.

Placing the work

Peak matches the program to a US shop we already work with, and adds a shop if the part needs it. We do not name shops. We do not publish a shop map. For cost ranges, read the cost-to-mold guide. Peak can be price-competitive because of the volume it brings to top US shops around the country. We do not publish a volume figure.

Vetting the shop

Peak vets the shop against the part: press, resin, existing tool vs a new mold, and capacity — without a fake rush. The shop that quotes is the shop we are asking to run the work, not a name on a brochure.

Staying on the program

After the PO, Peak stays on the program. A recent US tool quote (October 2025) was about 4–5 weeks for a new mold, then about 1 week of production after sign-off. Production from an existing US tool is about 2 weeks. An overseas tool is freight first — about 60 days by boat, or about 20 days by air. That freight window is transit, not Peak’s process clock.

What we will not say

This is not a jobs program. We do not publish 48-hour quotes, overnight tools, or a 14-day intake on a boat. We do not name shops, customers, or a volume figure.

FAQ

When do I get numbers?—

Send Peak your part. We'll reply. Tooling and piece-price come back after the shop quotes. If you're moving a tool, we'll ask the destination shop for a window. We will not invent one.
