ISO 9001:2015
Our certified quality management system governs document control, training, supplier management, inspection, nonconformance handling, corrective action, calibration, and continuous improvement across manufacturing operations.
Quality assurance built around your drawing.
From incoming material verification through in-process checks and final inspection, ApexProto carries drawing-defined dimensions, GD&T, surface requirements, documentation, and traceability into the manufacturing plan.
Quality certifications and compliance
ISO 13485:2016
Medical manufacturing programs are supported by risk-based process controls, documented traceability, controlled records, supplier oversight, and inspection requirements aligned with the approved quality plan.
IATF 16949:2016
Automotive programs are supported by process control, risk management, defect prevention, supplier development, traceability, and APQP or PPAP documentation as required.
RoHS Compliance
Material and finish controls support restrictions on specified hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products. Declarations and supporting records are available when requested during quoting.
REACH Compliance
Material and chemical information is reviewed against applicable REACH requirements, including substances of very high concern. Supplier declarations are available when specified.

01
COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINES (CMM)
Programmed tactile measurement verifies datums, positions, profiles, orientations, and other drawing-defined GD&T on complex three-dimensional parts. Inspection routines are developed around critical-to-function features and approved measurement access.
02
OPTICAL & MICROSCOPIC INSPECTION
Optical systems and industrial microscopy support visual examination of edges, surfaces, small features, and workmanship without applying probe force. The method is selected around feature size, access, and the agreed inspection plan.
03
MATERIAL TRACEABILITY & ALLOY CONTROL
Material identification begins with purchasing records, lot traceability, and supplier documentation. XRF alloy screening can supplement these controls when specified for applicable metallic materials.
04
TACTILE SURFACE INSPECTION
Contact inspection methods verify accessible surfaces and critical features. Profilometer measurement of parameters such as Ra and Rz is available for drawing-defined sealing, bearing, sliding, or finish requirements.
Inspection controls from receiving to final release.
Incoming inspection verifies material grade, condition, quantity, and supplier records. First-off and in-process checks monitor critical dimensions and process conditions during production. Final inspection confirms drawing requirements, finish, documentation, quantity, and packaging before release.
Incoming Material & Documentation (IQC)
First-Off & In-Process Inspection (IPQC)
Final Inspection & Release (OQC)
Inspection reports and quality documentation
Available documentation includes dimensional and CMM inspection reports, FAI, MTRs, CoC, PPAP packages, and customer-specific records. Required format, sampling plan, standards, submission level, and delivery method are confirmed during quoting.
First Article Inspection (FAI)
FAI records verify drawing-defined dimensions and requirements on initial production parts before repeat production. Ballooned drawings and measured results are available when agreed during quoting.
Material Test Reports (MTR)
MTRs link supplied material to the specified grade, heat or lot, chemical composition, and mechanical properties. Availability depends on the material and must be confirmed before purchasing.
Certificate of Compliance (CoC)
A CoC identifies the order, part, revision, quantity, and agreed specifications, confirming that the shipment was produced and inspected against the approved requirements.
