Quality Assurance

Your Trust is Important to Us

For over 70 years, foundries across North America have trusted Shield Pattern Works for high-quality machining and tooling. We wouldn’t have our excellent reputation if it weren’t for our quality assurance system that verifies each project meets or exceeds your standards and requirements.

Our Quality Assurance Process

1. Inspection & Precision Measurement

Using the advanced capabilities of our Faro Edge Arm and Laser Scanner, we perform detailed inspections of your product. This data is used to compare back to the original model and drawing to ensure all measurements and requirements are met.

2. Color Mapping Report

Post-inspection, we generate comprehensive, color mapping reports. These reports serve as easy-to-understand guides to your product’s inspection results. Through these color maps, you’ll be able to visualize the accuracy of your product’s components, and deviations from the specified design will be highlighted.
