Controlled definition
Identify model, drawing, units, material and finished condition. Resolve conflicts between files and any undocumented changes made during development.
PARTNER-SUPPORTED MANUFACTURING / REPEAT ADDITIVE PARTS
Additive production. Make the approved configuration repeatable.
A prototype approval is not a complete production handoff. Control the material, files, build and post-processing assumptions that the accepted sample represents, then define delivery evidence and the rules for changes.
KeepWin coordinates partner-supported review. Exact material, responsible operations, process availability, dimensions, inspection, commercial quantities and timing are confirmed in the project proposal; no universal capability or certification is promised.
Existing generated additive-part concepts. They do not demonstrate a production batch, equipment capacity, process capability study or actual lot acceptance.

ReviewChanges before repeat release
01 / PRODUCTION READINESS
Decide what the sample has actually approved.
A sample may settle fit, appearance or one functional question. List the remaining decisions before treating it as a release for repeat orders.
Representative sample
Record route, material and processing represented by the accepted sample. Confirm which checks are relevant to the proposed repeat configuration.
Delivery requirement
Define variants, quantities, lot identity and the records expected. Inspection and packaging scope should be explicit rather than inferred from the word production.
02 / CONFIGURATION CONTROL
Link the files to the route and the approval record.
A repeatable definition includes the delivered state and the relevant processing assumptions. Keep a single revision basis for the order.
Governing files
Name the model and drawing revisions, units and precedence. Include any approved access openings, support-related changes or assembly instructions.
Exact material
Record grade or formulation, color and allowed substitutions. A family name should not silently authorize a different material.
Processed state
Control cleanup, curing where applicable, finish and secondary work represented by the approval. Do not approve an unfinished sample as every finished variant.
Variant matrix
List part numbers, revisions, materials, appearances and quantities. Separate development samples, initial production and repeat delivery assumptions.
03 / RELEASE STAGES
Separate development, initial production and repeat lots.
These stages answer different questions and can require different evidence. Name the approval purpose and the hold point for each.
| Stage | Purpose | Release requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Development sample | Resolve geometry, fit or appearance. | Record represented condition and open questions. |
| Initial production | Evaluate the agreed production configuration. | Define features, records, approval owner and hold point. |
| Repeat lot | Deliver the controlled accepted definition. | Confirm changes, quantity, identity and lot acceptance. |
| Revised configuration | Evaluate changed material, files or processing. | Review the effect on earlier evidence and release. |
04 / OPERATIONS & IDENTITY
Make partner handoffs and part identity visible.
Printing, cleanup, surface work and secondary operations may sit in different parts of the responsible route. Define who supplies which evidence and how the parts remain identifiable.
Generated additive geometry collection, not a production lot photograph or evidence of measured manufacturing consistency.
Operation responsibilities
Ask the proposal to identify the printing and secondary-work scope. Do not assume that all equipment or operations are owned by KeepWin.
Identity through the route
Specify the connection between part number, revision, quantity and relevant records. Confirm available identification and traceability scope.
Appearance control
Retain an agreed physical reference and visible-area map where needed. Review color or texture changes before treating them as equivalent.
Delivery protection
Define packing, segregation of variants and destination requirements. Confirm responsibility for assembly or work remaining after delivery.
05 / LOT ACCEPTANCE
Define which pieces, features and records are checked.
A sampling plan and all-piece checks are distinct commercial and technical scopes. Agree them for the actual delivery rather than assuming a default.
| Area | Agree | Connect to |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | Features, datums, final state and method. | Controlled drawing and delivered geometry. |
| Quantities | Sample selection or stated all-piece scope. | Lot and variant identity. |
| Surface and fit | Reference, assembly check and viewing basis. | Approved finish and mating configuration. |
| Records | Material, processing and report requirements. | Named supply and operation scope. |
06 / REPEAT-ORDER BRIEF
Compare repeat offers against the same release basis.
Price and timing depend on configuration, quantities, preparation, finishing and evidence. Name the approval that starts the proposed schedule.
- Define
Variants, files, materials and final states.
- Review
Responsible route and record availability.
- Evaluate
Initial production and open questions.
- Release
Approved configuration and lot scope.
- Deliver
Accepted records, identity and packaging.
Commercial breakdown
Ask the offer to identify preparation, samples, print quantity, cleanup, finish, inspection, records and transport where relevant.
Repeat assumptions
State forecast quantities separately from confirmed delivery quantities. Confirm minimum order, route availability, approval dependencies and timing in each actual proposal.
07 / QUESTIONS
Before releasing additive production.
Control the definition and the acceptance basis before repeating the order.
Does an accepted prototype authorize production?
Only within its recorded scope. Confirm the production material, files, processing, finish and evidence before release.
Are every piece and feature inspected?
No default all-piece or all-feature scope is promised. Agree quantities, features, methods and records.
Can a material be substituted on repeat orders?
Only through agreed approval. Review the effect on fit, appearance, processing and application evidence.
Does production mean a fixed lead time or capacity?
No. Quantities, route, processing, inspection and approval dependencies determine the proposal-specific schedule.
What belongs with the repeat enquiry?
The approved files and material, sample record, variant matrix, final-state scope, lot acceptance, identification, packaging and destination.
PREPARE THE NEXT DECISION
Send the production configuration and the delivery scope.
Include approved file revision, exact material, sample record, variants and quantities, finishing, inspection, identification, packaging and destination.
