What is this first article inspection checklist for?

This quality assurance checklist helps quality technicians and production leads standardize first-run measurements, setup validation, and documented quality approval before full production. It mixes fast checkbox steps with photo proof, counts, dates, and notes where the workflow needs evidence. It's the same checklist every manufacturing run starts from — checkboxes where that's enough, photos and fields where it matters.

How do I start using it?

Start a 14-day trial, copy this checklist into your workspace, and tune the items, assignees, and field types to match your actual job. Every run is tracked. Every finished run turns into a PDF.

Yes. Every checklist in the library is a starting point. Add items, drop items, swap field types (checkbox, text, number, date, photo, video), assign teammates per line. Your version lives in your workspace and gets reused across every manufacturing run after that.

Does it export to PDF?

Yes. Every finished run becomes a clean PDF — items, fields, photos, signoffs, nothing to stitch together. The kind you'd send to a customer, an owner, or an auditor without a second pass.
