First-Article Inspection

End-to-End First-Article Inspection

This is our comprehensive solution for ensuring your parts are ready for production. We combine our high-resolution 3D scanning with advanced metrology software to provide a full-dimensional audit of your manufactured part, giving you the confidence to move forward with peace of mind.

What’s Included in the Process

Our complete first-article inspection service is a seamless, end-to-end workflow designed for efficiency and accuracy. The following stages outline how we handle every aspect of the inspection process:

• Part Acquisition & Preparation: We receive your part and prepare it for a complete, high-resolution scan, ensuring optimal conditions for data capture.
• Non-Contact 3D Scanning: We utilize our proprietary Pearl-700 scanner to digitize the part, capturing all geometries, including internal features that are difficult to measure otherwise.
• Automated Data Analysis: The scan data is automatically processed through our Spec.Check software, which performs a full dimensional analysis against your engineering CAD file.
• Comprehensive Reporting: We provide a detailed report that includes a full deviation analysis, a visual map of the part, and a complete audit trail for compliance and records.
