Auto-balloon drawings in seconds, extract characteristics, import CMM results instantly, and export to AS9102C forms, Net-Inspect, Excel, or customer-specific templatesfrom one cloud workflow built for supplier submissions.
- Auto-Balloon any 2D PDF, including hand-drawn and scanned prints
- Record FAI measurements directly from any CMM to complete AS9102 forms
- Run validation checks before submission to catch typos, missing fields, and out-of-tolerance results
FAI Review
Review FAIRs with checklist checks, cited findings, and feedback drafts. FAI Review runs checklist checks on the inspection submission and presents findings with explanations and source citations.
Investigate report fields, characteristics, and supporting evidence in the review workspace. Choose which findings to share, dismiss those that do not apply, and restore them when needed.
