Inspection and Quality Control

Quality Assurance & Inspection

Because “one-off” doesn’t mean one-time standards.

At One Off Castings, quality is not optional — it's engineered into every step of the process. Every casting that leaves our facility is rigorously inspected using data-driven methods to ensure compliance with the highest standards of dimensional accuracy, material performance, and structural integrity.

For one-time or low-volume parts, there are no second chances. We treat each casting like it's mission-critical.

Comprehensive In-House Testing

Our on-site inspection lab is fully equipped to perform both chemical and mechanical testing, ensuring that your parts meet exact material specifications:

  • 3 Spectrometers for chemical composition analysis

  • 2 Tensile Testing Machines for mechanical strength validation

Whether your project uses aluminum, ductile iron, stainless steel, or specialty alloys, we validate each pour before it ever reaches your floor.

Advanced Dimensional Inspection

We use industry-standard scanning and metrology systems to verify part geometry and tolerances against your model or drawing.

  • 2 FARO Laser Scanners for high-resolution surface and profile inspection

  • Brown & Sharpe CMM (UHA 9-15-9) with PolyWorks® software for complete dimensional reporting

When complex geometry or tight tolerances are required, we deliver detailed inspection reports to confirm conformance and repeatability.

Certified NDT Capabilities

For applications where internal or surface integrity is critical, we offer non-destructive testing (NDT) performed by certified technicians.

  • Level II Certified Inspectors in:

    • Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)

    • Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI)

These methods ensure critical flaw detection without damaging the part — ideal for aerospace, defense, and high-performance components.

Quality Equipment We Use

  • Spectrometers: ARL 3460, Quantron Magellan, Quantron Ion

  • Tensile Testers: 2 United STM-100KN machines

  • Laser Scanners: Faro Quantum S, Faro Quantum Max

  • CMM: Brown & Sharp UHA 9-15-9 with Polyworks

From first article inspection to final part validation, we back every project with traceable, documented, and precise quality assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of testing do you perform?
We perform chemical testing using three spectrometers and mechanical testing using two tensile bar pullers to verify strength and composition.

Do you offer detailed inspection reports?
Yes—we can provide full CMM reports for machined parts using our Polyworks software and dimensional scans using Faro technology.

Precision You Can Trust—Even for One-Offs

At One-Off Castings, we believe quality isn’t about quantity—it’s about commitment. Contact us today to learn how our inspection and quality control capabilities can support your next project.
