GD&T's deliverables are digital. This policy explains how and when you receive them.

​

How deliverables are delivered

​

All deliverables, including CAD models, engineering drawings, inspection reports, FAI and PPAP documentation, consulting markups, and data exports, are transmitted electronically via a secure download link sent to the email address on your quote. We do not mail physical media or paper reports unless separately quoted.

​

File formats

​

- CAD models: STEP (.stp), IGES (.igs), and native formats (SolidWorks .sldprt; AutoCAD .dwg/.dxf) as stated on your quote

- Reports and documentation: PDF; AS9102 forms for FAI; Excel (.xlsx) data exports on request

- Other formats may be available. Ask when requesting your quote.

​

When delivery is complete

​

Delivery is complete when the download link is transmitted to your email on file. You will receive a delivery notice at the same time. For projects with a balance due, the final deliverable link is released upon receipt of the balance payment.

​

Download links

Links remain active for 30 days from delivery. If a link expires or fails, we will re-issue it free of charge. Email quotes@gdandtiinc.com with your quote number.
