If you require First Article Inspection (FAI), we can provide the service for some CNC machining orders. To help our customers to verify the quality, we’ll shop two sets of random samples for completing the First Article Inspection. Once the products have been verified, we’ll go to start the full production.

Please indicate your requirements in the remarks box when uploading parts, or contact us through the email sales@cnclathing.com.
