Inspection reports are a crucial part of the production process since they guarantee that goods are manufactured in accordance with client specifications and standards.
We adhere to the AS9102 standard, which is referred to as FAIR (First Article Inspection Report) in the aerospace sector. It is referred to as the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) in the automotive sector. Regarding inspection reports, every industry has its own set of criteria. They require that the inspection reports be produced in accordance with their industry standards. We do include a few report templates right out of the box.
Businesses require that inspection reports be produced using a template and in a particular format. Additionally, they want the CAD-specific features to be automatically mapped to final inspection reports and for the specific columns to be included in reports. Since Solid Edge Inspector is a completely customizable solution, let’s begin by setting up the report template. The report template can be set up as needed.

Mapping property columns is another crucial configuration step. For instance, we would like to publish precise numbers in a column for a measurement method, values of which can differ based on the dimension. This video shows how to add a new property to Solid Edge Inspector and include it in the inspection report.
Mapping a CAD property to the final inspection report is another crucial component in setting up the template for the inspection report. This example explains how to connect a CAD property to an inspector report such that, upon report generation, the property value is printed automatically.
