CAD QA - First Article Inspection Software

CAD QA - Software for FAI (First Article Inspection according to PPAP)

Paper drawings are often still stamped manually. This time-consuming and error-prone task can be replaced by the CAD QA electronic stamping program.

Overlay drawings in various formats (PDF, DWG, TIFF, etc.) with auto-numbered balloons embedded with data & attributes. Pickup dimension values from PDF/CAD drawings. Export data to CSV/spreadheet. Built in tolerance tables.

 

Features

• Standard solution for the manufacturing sector.
• Create a first-article inspection report (FAIR) directly from the drawing.
• Table view. View and edit values directly in the table.
• Capture dimensions using OCR (optical character recognition).
• Supported formats: DWG, DXF, PDF, HPGL/2, TIF, JPEG, BMP, GIF
• Directly open and save single- or multi-page PDFs
• Freely configurable positioning of ballons with or without automatic numbering, and free selection of starting number, increment, stamp size, and color.
