Streamline the creation of Inspection reports using SOLIDWORKS Inspection

What is SOLIDWORKS Inspection?

Quality control and planning often involves the creation of documents such as drawings with balloon callouts and inspection reports. This time consuming task is usually the responsibility of designers or quality inspectors. They can spend hours every day manually creating all these documents and ensuring the parts they designed are manufactured according to specifications.

SOLIDWORKS® Inspection is a First Article Inspection (FAI) and in-process inspection software that greatly simplifies and automates this process, allowing users to create industry standard inspection reports (AS9102, PPAP, etc…) with ease.

CRITICAL BUSINESS ISSUES: –

Usually Quality assurance/Quality Engineers face many challenges on the daily basis and the major pain area is to quickly create Inspection report with absolutely no errors. The typical day to day challenges faced are generating FAI reports which includes ballooning hundreds of dimensions and creating the First article inspection report by manually. This is a very time consuming process and also leads to Errors. 85% of customers perform inspection reports manually, which can not only result in errors and inconsistencies but is an incredibly time-consuming process.

SOLIDWORKS Inspection will automatically capture all notes, dimensions, notes and callouts placing each one into a characteristic list that is completely editable. The documents are ready to be exported at this point into either excel or PDF formats.

Using templates that meet your needs, the software builds reports and ballooned drawings in minutes.

With SOLIDWORKS Inspection as an add-in, it allows users to create First Article Inspection (FAI) documentation with ease and efficiency. First Article Inspection reports are a formal method to report measurements of each feature of a product. The report ensures that the manufactured product corresponds to the specifications detailed in a drawing or MBD document.
