Precision Service
Quality Inspection
CMM coordinate measuring, FAI/FAIR documentation, and full dimensional reporting — ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 compliant.
Overview
Why Quality Inspection Matters
Precision machining is only as valuable as the evidence that it is precise. CMM-based dimensional inspection provides objective, traceable proof that every feature of your part conforms to the engineering drawing — not just the easy-to-measure dimensions, but every GD&T callout, positional tolerance, and surface finish specification.
At OrangeSea CNC, quality inspection is not a final gate — it is woven into the manufacturing process. In-process probing on our 5-axis machines catches deviations mid-cut, before material is scrapped. Final CMM inspection and documentation provides the traceability your customer and your own records require.
For aerospace, medical, and defence customers who require First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR), material certifications, and full dimensional packages, our quality team delivers everything needed to pass your supplier qualification process.

How It Works
Our Inspection Process
Drawing Review
GD&T and tolerances reviewed. CMM measurement plan created to cover all critical features.
CMM Programming
Renishaw MODUS or PC-DMIS programs created from CAD model for repeatable measurement.
Fixturing
Parts fixtured in a thermally stable inspection room (20°C ±0.5°C).
Measurement
All features measured with full probe compensation and stylus qualification.
Data Analysis
Results compared to nominal and tolerance. Deviations highlighted with colour maps.
Report & Release
Inspection report, material certs, and CoC packaged and delivered with parts.
