Series production should never start on an unverified part. Before we schedule recurring batches, the first article is fully inspected and documented — giving you an approved reference and us a confirmed process.
Every critical dimension on the first article is measured and reported before any series is scheduled.
The first-article report becomes the shared reference between your quality team and ours.
FAI proves the setup, tooling and parameters produce the drawing — before we repeat them 500 times.
Real capability windows — verified in-house, not estimated.

A transparent, engineering-led process built for long-term supply programs — not one-off transactions.
Send drawings and program context. Our engineers run a DFM review and flag tolerances, materials and risk before any cutting begins.
You receive a transparent quote plus a material-verification plan — grade, EN/DIN check and certificate strategy for your application.
In-house precision machining, then Zeiss CMM dimensional inspection and spectrometer material verification on critical batches.
Kitted, ESD-safe or cleanroom packaging, with local engineering and after-sales support through our German partner.
