Inspection evidence matched to the features that control acceptance.
Dimensional records can be planned around drawing dimensions, tolerances, GD&T, threads, bores, mating interfaces and other critical characteristics. The measurement method and reporting depth depend on feature geometry, tolerance, accessibility, quantity and the agreed sampling plan.
Production verification
Visual and dimensional checks appropriate to the process and part requirements, recorded according to the agreed project scope.
Recorded measurement results
Selected drawing characteristics documented with nominal values, tolerances, measured results and acceptance status.
Complex feature measurement
Coordinate measurement may be used for profiles, positions, datum-related features and geometry that cannot be verified reliably with hand instruments.
Material records tied to the ordered grade and source.
When required, material certificates or supplier records can be requested for the specific alloy, resin, temper or product form. State the exact certificate, traceability and regulatory expectations in the RFQ so availability and cost can be confirmed before order release.
Surface treatment requirements documented before finishing.
Define coating type, color, gloss or texture, thickness, masking, cosmetic zones and relevant acceptance criteria. Depending on the process and supplier documentation available, finish records or certificates may be included in the agreed quality package.
Use first-article evidence to confirm the production route.
A first-article inspection package can help verify that the manufacturing process, drawing interpretation and measurement plan produce an acceptable result before repeat production. The required format, ballooned drawing, measured characteristics and approval sequence should be defined during quotation.
State the required records in the RFQ—not after the parts are made.
Include the controlled drawing revision, critical characteristics, inspection level, sampling requirement, certificate type, traceability expectation and any customer-specific template. Requirements added after production begins may require a process change, new inspection work or remanufacture.
Include them with your CAD files and drawing.
Our engineering team will review the requested documentation with the manufacturing route and identify any questions before quotation or production release.
