Ballooning Software for Engineering Drawings
QA-CAD Software | AS9102 and First Article Inspection Reporting
Automatic Ballooning of Engineering Drawings
Experience the benefits of QA-CAD, easy to use, First Article Inspection (FAI) Software, with a one time licensing fee (perpetual license, no recurring monthly or annual charges). Our enhanced QA-CAD software now incorporates OCR technology, facilitating the direct extraction of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) feature control frames. Our First Article Inspection Report Software, QA-CAD, saves your time and cost (50-80%) to balloon engineering drawings and produce First Article Inspection Report (AS9102/EN 9102/SJAC 9102, PPAP, ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820, etc.).

Software Overview
Software Overview
QA-CAD enables you to quickly add balloons (bubbles), or QA stamps to identify dimensions and tolerances on your drawing while reducing the chance of errors from manually inputting information.
Auto ballooning feature for PDF, raster images, and DWG/DXF files.
Select from a list of Industry standard tolerances or create your own customized tolerance table.
Automatically capture dimensions, tolerances, GD&T symbols, Control Frames, Reference Zone directly from PDF/ CAD drawing files.
Automatically identify characteristics (radius, diameter, position etc.), add Inspection tools, part data etc.
Export dimensional data from drawings into Inspection Reports. (AS9102 Form 3, PPAP, Layout Inspection Reports, First Article Inspection Reports)
QA-CAD is an essential tool in the engineering design process. If you are still plotting drawings and adding numbered stamps and revisions by hand, then QA-CAD is for you! Save your valuable time and resources with our QA stamping software that overlays drawings with auto-numbered stamps and markup notes and corrections (text, sketches, boxes, lines and arrows).
With just a press of a button the drawing, along with the revision stamps and markup notes/corrections, can be saved to a PDF and sent in an email. The source drawing remains untouched by the stamping and markup operations.
