Inspection Reports & Quality Documentation

Complete digital quality packages including dimensional reports, material certs, process records, and certificates of conformance.

Traceability & Compliance

Material Traceability

Full mill-cert-to-part traceability on every job, documented in ProShop ERP and available in the customer quality package.

ITAR-Compliant Data Handling

Secure handling of export-controlled drawings and technical data in accordance with ITAR and EAR requirements from Day 1.

Digital Quality Packages

Complete job documentation — FAI reports, certs of conformance, material certifications, and inspection records — delivered digitally with every shipment

Quoting & Customer Experience

Instant Online Quoting

Upload a STEP or IGES file via Instant Online integrated CPQ software and receive a binding price within 60 minutes, 24/7, without a sales call.

Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Feedback

Complimentary DFM review on quoted parts identifying features that affect cost, cycle time, or tolerance achievability before production begins.
