One part is a normal order here. Send STEP, STL or 3MF, or describe in prose what the part has to survive. You do not need to choose the material before you begin.
One-off work is ordinary work here.
A single bracket. A replacement for something discontinued. A housing you need to hold a board you have not finished designing yet. A jig that only has to exist once. All of these are ordinary work, and none of them is too small to send.
If you have geometry, send it. If you have a problem and a rough idea, describe it: what it mounts to, what it is exposed to, and which features have to fit something else. That is genuinely enough to start.
The part needs its working context, not just its geometry.
The intended end use and the service environment, because a bracket that lives at room temperature and one that sits above an exhaust are not the same part even if the geometry is identical.
Which features are fit-critical. Printed parts are anisotropic and orientation is a real decision, so knowing which surface has to seal or which bore has to accept a bearing changes how we build it.
Whether it exceeds our single-part envelope, and whether you are open to it being segmented and bonded if it does.
The first answer explains the proposed route before anything runs.
The response identifies the proposed material and route, any change we recommend, and any question that must be resolved before manufacture.
