First Article Inspection (FAI) is a systematic validation of the first parts produced in a new or revised manufacturing process.

You’ve just received your batch of machined and anodized aluminum parts. You open the box, and that specific shade of red you wanted isn't quite what you imagined. Or maybe one part looks slightly different from the next. Achieving consistent anodized colors requires more than just a good coating shop; it requires a deep understanding of the entire finishing process and attention to customers’ requirements, brand, and product line.

For a custom-made part to be truly high-quality, its journey to the customer must be as responsible as its manufacturing process. That’s why we’ve been tracking and reflecting on our shipping-related emissions.
