Industrial Custom Products has the tools you need for a thorough and complete first article inspection that you can trust.
Our first article testing process involves careful assessments with state-of-the-art technology. Utilizing the FARO QuantumM ScanArm, first articles are laser scanned and compared to the intended specifications to ensure accuracy and adherence to the project guidelines. This scanning procedure not only removes possible user error with noncontact inspections, but also cuts down time to market significantly.

Because of this, we understand that accuracy and speed are both key in every step of pre-production.
