Datums · Probing · Documentation

Tight prints don't get held by intuition. They get held by datums, probing, and a calibrated inspection plan documented before the first chip flies.

Certification roadmap

Certified soon. Audit-ready today.

Our QMS is built to AS9100D and ISO 13485 process requirements right now — documented, calibrated, and operating. Formal certification is on the schedule below. Until the certificate arrives, our quality manual, calibration log, and FAI samples are open for any buyer audit.

  1. 01

    QMS documented & in use

    Controlled-document workflow, revision tracking, calibration log, training records, and corrective-action procedure all running today.

    ✓ COMPLETE

  2. 02

    Internal audit complete

    Process-level internal audits run against AS9100D / ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 requirement clauses, with non-conformance closure tracking.

    ✓ IN PROGRESS

  3. 03

    External Stage 1 audit (registrar)

    Documentation review by accredited registrar — AS9100D + ISO 9001:2015. Schedule confirmation available on RFQ.

    SCHEDULED

  4. 04

    Stage 2 certification audit

    On-site implementation audit and certificate issuance. AS9100D + ISO 9001:2015. ISO 13485 follows for medical work.

    PLANNED

Inspection floor

Equipment, calibrated and on schedule.

Every gage in the lab is calibrated on a controlled interval and traceable to NIST. Calibration records are open to buyer audit on request.

Zeiss Contura CMM

Sub-micron measurement with temperature compensation. Flexible probing for complex geometry and tapered features.

Keyence IM-7030

Image-dimension measurement system — high-throughput dimensional checks on small/medium parts.

Mitutoyo PH-3500

Optical comparator for profile, threads, and 2D feature verification.

Mitutoyo QM-400

Digital height gage for repeatable Z-axis measurement at the machine.

Renishaw Probing

In-machine work + tool probing on UMC and VF-4SS — catches drift between operations.

Surface Finish Analyzer

Ra / Rz verification for medical and aerospace surface-finish callouts.

Granite + Gage Lab

Gage blocks, micrometers, calipers, indicators — calibrated and traceable to NIST.

Hardness & PMI

Rockwell hardness and positive-material-ID through accredited sub-tier when required.

Inspection plan

How a part actually gets measured.

01

Print review & datum strategy

Before we cut, an engineer reviews GD&T, picks the datum scheme, and writes the inspection plan.

02

First Article Inspection

Every feature on the print measured. AS9102 format on aerospace work. CMM data archived to the job.

03

In-process & final

Probing on critical features mid-run, sampled CMM at intervals, 100% verification on flight-critical or implant work.

Documentation that ships with the part

Buyers see what's coming — before the PO.

Every order ships with the appropriate combination of these documents based on industry and your quality flow-down. Redacted samples available on request.

AS9102

First Article Report

Forms 1, 2, 3 with ballooned drawing, CMM data, and characteristic accountability — every feature on the print, measured.

Approved sub-tier processing

Special processes, certified the right way.

For heat treat, NDT, plating, anodize, passivation, and coating, we partner with accredited sub-tier shops. Their process certs flow with your shipment, so you have one supplier of record — us — with documented chain-of-custody for every special process.

Sub-tier accreditations we flow down: NADCAP heat treat · NADCAP NDT · ISO 17025 calibration · AS9100 plating & coating · MIL-STD finishes (MIL-DTL-5541, MIL-A-8625, AMS-2700).

Heat treat

Aging, solution, stress relief on PH stainless and titanium. NADCAP-accredited partner.

NDT & FPI

Liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, ultrasonic. NADCAP-accredited partner.

Anodize / Chem film

Type II / III anodize, MIL-DTL-5541 chem film, hard coat. AS9100 partner.

Plating

Nickel, gold, silver, electroless — for aerospace and electronics.

Passivation

AMS-2700 / ASTM A967 stainless passivation. Medical and aerospace.

Calibration

ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab, NIST-traceable. Annual gage cycle.

Open audit policy

Audit our shop. We'll send the QMS in advance.

Supplier qualification audits are welcome. We provide the quality manual, calibration records, training records, and process documentation up front so your team can show up prepared.

Quality FAQ

Quality questions buyers ask

Are you AS9100D / ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 certified?

We are not yet certified. We operate to a quality system aligned with these standards today — controlled documents, validated processes, calibration tracking, FAI, traceability, and audit-ready job history — and our certification roadmap is published on this page. Until certificate issuance, our QMS manual and calibration records are open for any buyer audit.

Are you ITAR registered?

Yes — registered with the U.S. State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). DDTC registration number provided on RFQ for controlled-data work.

Can I audit your shop?

Yes — on-site supplier audits welcome. We provide quality manual, calibration records, and process documentation in advance.

What format is your FAI?

AS9102 Forms 1, 2, and 3 on aerospace work; customer-format FAI for medical / industrial / automotive. CMM-ballooned print included with every FAI.

Do you support PPAP?

Yes — PPAP packages on automotive and industrial programs. Levels 1–5 supported, AIAG format.

Do you have CAGE / DUNS codes?

Yes — CAGE and DUNS provided on RFQ for prime and sub-contract work.
