Hartwell Precision

Aerospace machining · AS9100D

“Our inspectors used to spend half a shift stamping balloons by hand. Now the drawing is ballooned before the first part comes off the machine, and the AS9102 package goes out the same afternoon.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Is QuickFAI a web-based online FAI report generator?

Yes, QuickFAI runs entirely in your web browser. There is no software to install, making it easy to deploy on any desktop or shop floor tablet.

Does this work as an alternative to desktop ballooning software?

Absolutely. QuickFAI is built as a lightweight, faster, and more affordable alternative to heavy legacy desktop tools, giving your team immediate access without expensive license servers.

How does the digital caliper input work?

Our guided inspection interface supports standard keyboard wedge inputs. When you press the data-send button on your Bluetooth or USB caliper, the measurement automatically populates the active balloon and moves to the next characteristic.
