We don't just hold tolerance.
We prove it.

Every part we ship is cut in sequence, sampled live to standard, measured to your print, and documented — so conformance isn't a promise. It's on the record.

01The tolerance we can hold

Tight tolerances, honestly stated.

These are numbers we stand behind — not best-case marketing. The tightest bands hold within our cutting sweet spot; as material approaches our thickness limit, achievable tolerance opens up, and we'll tell you exactly what to expect for your part before you commit.

02Conformance caught at the source

We don't sample the pile. We sample the cut.

Most shops inspect a random handful after the job is done. We sample in sequence, during the live cut, at intervals set by ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 — because on a laser, parts don't go bad at random. They drift, gradually, as consumables wear. So we watch the run in the order it's cut.

CUT SEQUENCE → GOOD GOOD LAST GOOD STOP BACK-SAMPLE EVERY PART TO THE LAST KNOWN-GOOD
Sampled to ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 · General Inspection Level II minimum

Why this beats a random sample. A statistical sample assumes defects are scattered by chance. Laser drift isn't — consumable wear moves the dimension in one direction, steadily. So the moment a sampled part falls out of tolerance, we stop the cut and back-sample every part to the last one we know was good. That bounds the problem to a known, traceable window and catches the entire affected run — not just the fraction a random pull might have happened to grab. You get containment, not probability.

03Measurement that stands up to review

Proven on a Keyence image dimension measurement system.

Dimensional results are captured on a Keyence Image Dimension Measurement System — laser-imaged, high-repeatability measurement that produces the same numbers regardless of who's running it. When your drawing carries GD&T, we measure and report to it.

Repeatable measurement

Image dimension measurement

Whole-part capture reads dozens of features at once — including in-plane features like bolt-circle diameter, hole true position, angular spacing, and profile radii — into a documented result that holds up to your review and to third-party audit.

Geometric tolerancing

GD&T-capable

Position, profile, flatness, concentricity — if your print specifies it, our results report against it, and the measurement record travels with the parts.

04Delivered and documented

Wrapped in an ISO 9001:2015-certified QMS.

Holding tolerance and proving it only counts if it happens every time and the evidence is there when you ask. Our ANAB-accredited, ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system is how the work stays consistent — and how it stays on the record.

  • 01Documented procedures and work instructions — the process runs the same on every job
  • 02Full material traceability — mill records tie back to the parts we ship, whenever you need it
  • 03Retained inspection records and measurement data for the parts you receive
  • 04Nonconformance and corrective-action discipline — problems get caught, contained, and closed out

When we accept your order, we commit to provably delivering it as spec'd.

05When you need even more

Full PPAP documentation packages.

For programs that require it, we produce complete Production Part Approval Process submissions — process flow, control plans, dimensional results, material records, and master samples, formatted to your part-numbering scheme. We can do it, and we have. If your program runs on PPAP, we're ready for it.

06Our commitments, in the open

We don't just claim the numbers. We publish them.

These are our live quality objectives, straight from our shop-floor system. We put them in public because owning your commitments is the whole point.

How we measure it: availability across every asset in Forge — laser, measurement system, welder, powder-coat oven, and support equipment — not just the laser.
Capacity you can count on. Reliable machine availability is what lets us honor lead times and absorb a surge.
First Pass Yield
0.0%
Target ≥ 98.0%
How we measure it: conforming parts ÷ every part produced, counted per part. One bad piece in a 100-part order is a 1% defect — not a failed order.
Fewer surprises at your dock. High first-pass yield is a leading indicator of process control — fewer defects with any chance of reaching you.
On-Time Fulfillment
0.0%
Target ≥ 95.0%
How we measure it: per sales order, against the fulfillment date we commit up front. An order is on time or it's late — no partial credit.
Your schedule holds. A commitment date from us is a date you can build around, so your line isn't left waiting.
