Quality documents for molded part release.
Define inspection, samples and documents before production starts so buyers know what evidence will support release.
Clarify inspection evidence before T1 or production release.
This form is for buyers who need FAI, CMM, material certificates, sample issue review or release-document planning tied to molded part risk.
Inspection support that buyers can request.
Quality scope depends on project risk, tolerance, material and end market.
Incoming resin confirmation
Resin grade, color and material certificates can be recorded when required.
T1 sample dimensional check
Early samples are reviewed against critical dimensions, assembly fit and cosmetic standards.
Documented inspection reports
FAI, CMM and PPAP-style documents can be planned for higher-control projects.
Make quality release auditable.
Quality pages should show the exact evidence a buyer can ask for before approving T1 samples or repeat production.
| Evidence item | When it matters | What it should prove |
|---|---|---|
| T1 issue list | First sample review | Each defect has likely cause, correction action, owner and retest status. |
| FAI report | Before production release | Critical dimensions match drawing intent and tolerance assumptions. |
| CMM selected points | Tight or functional dimensions | Key datum, fit or assembly dimensions are measured repeatably. |
| Material certificate | Engineering resin or compliance-sensitive jobs | The agreed resin grade and batch route are traceable. |
| Cosmetic standard | Visible surfaces, texture, clear parts or color-sensitive parts | Gate marks, scratches, sink, gloss and color limits are judged consistently. |
| Batch record | Repeat production | Production uses the agreed material, inspection scope, packing notes and release criteria. |
Typical release documents
Define quality before T1
Quality planning should start before the first samples are shot. The buyer and supplier should agree which dimensions are critical, what cosmetic standard will be used, whether material traceability is required, and which documents must be attached before production release. This avoids approving samples by photos alone when the real requirement is fit, function or repeatable measurement.
