First Article Inspection
At Shapeways, we offer comprehensive First Article Inspection services tailored to meet your specific needs.
What is First Article Inspection?
First Article Inspection (FAI) is a crucial process in manufacturing that involves a thorough verification and documentation of a product’s compliance with specified requirements. It is typically conducted before full-scale production begins to ensure that all engineering, design, and specification criteria are met. By performing FAI, we can identify and rectify any potential issues early in the production cycle, thereby preventing costly errors and ensuring high-quality outcomes. This process is especially valuable for customers who require precise and reliable components, as it provides a detailed validation of the manufacturing process and product conformity.
At Shapeways, we offer comprehensive First Article Inspection services tailored to meet your specific needs. Our advanced Keyence machine allows us to conduct highly accurate measurements and detailed inspections, ensuring that every aspect of the product meets the required standards. In addition to FAI, we also provide services to test fit parts and color match assemblies, ensuring complete integration and aesthetic consistency of your components. Whether you need FAI for a single prototype or an entire production run, our team of experts is equipped to provide thorough and reliable inspection reports.
