Contact Exafuse

Send the few details that make the first technical response useful: part, material, size, duty and deadline.

Contact

Describe the component and the result you need.

An initial feasibility review can start with the information you have: drawing or CAD, photos, substrate, dimensions, functional surface, timing and inspection requirements.

Feasibility review

What to send.

Before you send

Name the component, the goal and the main open question.

A complete specification is not required for the first contact. The information should show whether the review concerns new manufacture, repair, laser cladding or an LMD versus SLM/LPBF decision.

Part stateCAD, drawing, photos, damaged zone, base material and approximate dimensions.
Technical goalRepair, coating, build-up, prototype, finishing or process selection.
Review and NDA boundaryRelease needs, deadline, confidential data and open inspection questions.
Estimate costs firstUse the estimator if mass, dimensions or early cost drivers are still uncertain.

Most useful attachments

  • CAD/drawing if available
  • Damage or surface photos
  • Base material information
  • Target dimensions or surface condition
  • Inspection or acceptance criteria

Name and email are only needed when you email the request. The preview stays in your browser; send confidential files only after NDA alignment.

Low-friction contact

You can start small and add detail later.

The first message does not have to be complete. The important part is making the technical goal understandable.

No perfect RFQ needed

A rough description, photos and the main question are enough to start. Exafuse can tell you which data is missing next.

NDA first is possible

If the data is sensitive, start with an anonymized short description. NDA, secure file transfer and the level of detail can be agreed before exchange.

Direct appointment is possible

For unclear or urgent cases, request a Teams or phone appointment and align the technical direction together.

No portal requirement

The form creates an email draft. There is no upload portal and no hidden data storage in the website tool.

Confidential project data

Agree the transfer route before sending files.

The website intentionally has no public upload field. Request the approved transfer method for your project first.

  1. 01
    Start without confidential detail

    Describe the part type, goal, approximate dimensions and file scope without sensitive information.

  2. 02
    Agree the NDA and method

    Before sending files, confirm whether an NDA is needed and which transfer method applies to the project.

  3. 03
    Send files after confirmation

    Share drawings, CAD and other confidential material only through the confirmed route.

Request transfer method

This opens an email draft; it does not upload files or transmit form data in the background.
