Technical writing on Swiss-type turning, 5-axis machining, turning centers, custom part design and AS9100D inspection practice — written for the engineers who release the prints.
A first article report is not paperwork attached to a shipment. It is documented evidence that the process — not the sample — is capable of repeating the print.
