AGREE BEFORE MANUFACTURE
The drawing is the starting point.
Identify critical dimensions, datums, cosmetic surfaces and reporting expectations before the tooling scope is agreed.
- Drawing revision and inspection criteria
- Trial-part measurement requirements
- T1 findings and modification review
- Final review and Tn summary
INSPECTION & DOCUMENTATION

In-process inspection
Identify checks at critical machining and assembly stages against the approved drawing.
Inspection scope and reporting are agreed for each project.Final inspection
Agree dimensional acceptance criteria and the report format before final review.
Inspection scope and reporting are agreed for each project.Measurement equipment
Measurement methods and equipment are selected against the drawing and inspection plan.
Quality documentation

Agree the maintenance plan, evaluation method and contractual life requirements with the project’s technical scope.
MAGNETON / HW6366 / ENGINEERING CASE
Trial and measurement for a gear bracket casting
The team carried customer part data through DFM and mold-flow review, discussed the temperature-control design, and moved the tool into T1 and T2 trials.
A local tearing issue at T1 led to proposed draft and core-pin changes; samples from the later trial then entered dimensional inspection.
