Why Many LMD RFQs Fail Before Engineering Review

Many Laser Metal Deposition RFQs fail before engineering review because they start with a vague part description and end with a request for a firm answer. The missing information is not administrative detail; it is the feasibility signal.

The most important missing fields are often material grade, damage depth, repair-zone access, final tolerance, operating conditions, safety criticality, and inspection requirements. Without those fields, no tool should produce a firm repair recommendation.

A strong RFQ separates known facts, assumptions, missing data, risk items, and next questions. That structure helps both AI agents and engineers avoid false confidence.
