Introduction
The procurement of drawing parts - be it for prototypes or series production - is a critical process for companies in technology-intensive industries, characterized by the need for maximum delivery reliability and competitiveness. Quality assurance in production is of crucial importance here.
FACTUREE plays an important role in this process. The online manufacturer transforms this complexity through a Unique, three-stage and AI-supported quality system. This system is not only adaptive and well thought-out, but can also be used worldwide to optimize the quality of your drawing parts at all times.
In Industry 4.0, the quality of components ordered online is ensured by seamless digital networking from the 3D model to the smart production machine. This enables automated real-time monitoring and process optimization, guaranteeing consistently high and precisely verifiable component quality.
What does quality mean in the production of drawing parts?
With online production for drawing parts Quality from several defined quality standards. These go far beyond mere production. It is a comprehensive process. It begins with the initial inquiry and ends with the finished component. This ensures precision, reliability and customer satisfaction.
- Dimensional and shape accuracy in production: Quality in manufacturing manifests itself in the precise conversion of 3D data into physical components. Modern CNC machines and industrial 3D printers are the basis for maximum dimensional accuracy.
The decisive factors are process-reliable compliance with the tightest tolerances (e.g. in accordance with ISO 2768) and the realization of the required surface quality directly in the production process. Quality is defined here by the mastery of the technology and the repeatable production of function-critical geometries. - Material and process control in production: Quality in production begins with the correct handling and processing of the selected material. The parameters of the production process must be precisely matched to the material. This avoids distortion and guarantees the specified mechanical properties. The traceability of the material batch through to the finished component is an essential part of quality-oriented production and ensures the integrity of each individual part. This process is often documented by certificates (EN 10204).
- Quality assurance directly in production: Active quality assurance monitors the entire production process. This goes beyond a mere final inspection and includes in-process inspections directly on the machine. ISO 9001 certification ensures that control mechanisms are well established. This includes machine calibration and certain test steps. Measurement reports document this production-related quality assurance and provide tangible proof of compliance with all specifications.
- Continuous improvement through service and analysis: Quality in production begins even before the first cut. Excellent service includes proactive Feasibility analysis (DFM) of your CAD files. Potential problems are identified at an early stage and optimization suggestions are made to ensure the best possible quality. This technical advice ensures that the design is perfectly matched to the selected production process. This prevents errors before they can occur.
This is how we guarantee the highest quality for your components
At FACTUREE, we rely on a comprehensive quality assurance system that makes no compromises, from the selection of suppliers to the delivery of your parts. As Your fully responsible contractual partner we take over the entire liability for the success of your project and take care of the entire process - from inquiry to delivery. This reduces the complexity for you enormously: instead of having to deal with different suppliers, interfaces and transport routes, with FACTUREE you only have one contact person who is responsible for the entire process.
1. AI-supported supplier selection: Precision starts here
Even before the contract is awarded our AI analyzes potential producers. We select our partners based on their Experience, performance and Specialization to ensure that they meet our high quality standards. This minimizes the risk of errors right from the start and guarantees that your individual drawing parts are produced by the best manufacturing partners.
Another advantage of our FACTUREE-KI is that we can calculate prices largely internally. In many cases, your design drawings do not leave our premises, which guarantees maximum data security and protection of your intellectual property.
2. comprehensive production monitoring: experts at every step.
During the production of your individual drawing parts experienced FACTUREE engineers and quality management experts every step of the way.. Supported by our global network of local partners - from America to Europe and Asia - we ensure that the production processes always meet our strict specifications. This gives you the certainty that your orders are in the best hands and are continuously monitored.
3. double final inspection: zero tolerance for defects
After production, a double final inspection is carried out: first at the manufacturer and then again by FACTUREE. This double check guarantees that the quality meets your requirements, including zero error tolerance in series production. In this way, FACTUREE proves that digital procurement goes hand in hand with maximum security and quality.
Our global partner network: quality and safety from a single source
- Systematic onboarding and rigorous selection: Every potential production partner undergoes systematic onboarding, during which we check whether their skills, certifications and capacities are an ideal match for the requirements profile. Extensive questionnaires and initial test orders are used to assess the reliability, punctuality and quality of each partner in detail. Only those who meet these strict criteria are accepted into our global core network.
- Guaranteed quality and delivery reliability through expertise: Thanks to our extensive experience from numerous projects, we know exactly which supplier can best fulfill the respective requirements. As early as the pre-selection stage, we filter out only those partners who can reliably deliver the required quality. This Global network of certified manufacturing partners in Germany, Europe, America, Africa and Asia enables us not only to manufacture flexibly and quickly, but also to select the optimum partner for your specific requirements.
- Multi-stage quality process for maximum safety: Especially for large series production, a Multi-stage quality process for use. First the producer checks itself, then we carry out an internal quality control. If necessary, an external service provider can also be commissioned. This creates a Triple or even quadruple safety netThis ensures that your parts arrive in the desired quality.
- Continuous monitoring and comprehensive service: We rely on Continuous monitoring of our manufacturing partners and act consistently in the event of quality defects - up to and including exclusion, if necessary. In the event of a complaint, we are your Sole contact person. FACTUREE analyzes the cause and ensures an immediate repair or new production. This saves you the often tedious clarification with individual suppliers and gives you the certainty that your project is always in the best hands.
Measurements and test certificates: Transparency that creates trust
For additional security we can Quality checks and measurements of your parts directly at our premises in Berlin or through external partners. At our location in Berlin Wedding we have State-of-the-art measuring instruments and offer our customers comprehensive Test certificates to document compliance with all specifications.
We offer you Free test certificates . Initial sample test reports (EMPB) we create ourselves and/or with external service providers. An EMPB is a matter of course for us and is carried out professionally. Only for 3.1 Certificates we charge a small amount. Discuss your requirements directly with your dedicated contact person when requesting a quote.
