Built For
Engineered for industries where
precision is non-negotiable

Deep domain integration across the sectors where tolerances, traceability, and regulatory compliance define operational excellence.

01 / Industry
High-Precision Engineering
Full GD&T control planning, special characteristics identification, and capability reports for environments where microns define the margin between pass and fail.
02 / Industry
Automotive
IATF 16949-aligned First Part Approval, PDIR, and lot inspection workflows fully integrated with PPAP and control plan requirements.
03 / Industry
Aerospace
AS9100 and AS9102-compliant First Article Inspection reports supporting rigorous regulatory approval and full airworthiness documentation traceability.
The Platform
Where design intent
meets production reality

AutoBallooning bridges the critical gap between engineering drawings and shop-floor inspection. Our Quick Layout Planner ingests 2D drawings and 3D MBD-PMI data, then automatically generates ballooned documentation aligned to your quality workflows.

By eliminating the most time-intensive steps in inspection planning, your quality engineers spend less time on documentation — and more time on decisions that matter.

The result: faster NPI cycles, stronger regulatory readiness, and end-to-end data traceability across the entire product lifecycle.

How It Works
From drawing to inspection plan
in four structured steps
Step 01
Ingest Drawing Data
Import 2D drawings or 3D MBD models. AutoBallooning parses GD&T, dimensions, and PMI annotations automatically.
Step 02
Auto-Generate Balloons
Every feature is numbered, linked, and positioned using intelligent layout algorithms — no manual balloon placement.
Step 03
Build Inspection Plan
Select the report type — FAI, PDIR, Lot, Multi-Sample — and the platform populates requirements linked to each ballooned feature.
Step 04
Export & Certify
Publish standards-ready reports with full traceability — ready for customer submission, audits, or internal quality records.
