Quality & Compliance
Inline QC, NCR management, SPC charting, and full powder-to-part traceability — built to keep you audit-ready without slowing down production.
Compliance Without the Paper Trail
Aerospace and defense manufacturers need full traceability for ISO 9001, AS9100, and ITAR. In most AM shops, that means binders full of paper records, manual spreadsheets for quality data, and weeks of preparation before every audit.
Vectrik captures quality data in the natural flow of production. Operators complete inline inspections as they work. NCRs are logged when defects are discovered. Powder lot genealogy is recorded automatically. When the auditor arrives, everything is already documented.
Inline QC Checks
Embed quality checkpoints at any production stage. Operators complete inspections without breaking their workflow — no separate quality system to log into.
- Configurable pass/fail criteria per stage and part type
- Dimensional measurement capture with tolerance validation
- Photo documentation for visual inspections
- Automatic hold if a check fails — part doesn't advance until resolved
- QC history attached to every part for full traceability
- Checklist-style inspections for multi-point checks
NCR Management
When a defect is found, log it immediately. Track non-conformances from discovery through root-cause analysis to corrective action — with full audit trails.
- One-click NCR creation from a failed QC check
- Link NCRs to specific parts, builds, work orders, and operators
- Root-cause categories: process, material, tooling, operator, design
- Corrective action tracking with due dates and assignments
- Disposition options: rework, scrap, use-as-is, return to vendor
- NCR dashboards showing trends, repeat defects, and closure rates
Process Control & Traceability
Catch drift before it becomes a defect. Trace every part back to its source.
SPC Charts
Statistical process control charting tracks critical dimensions over time. Automated control limit calculations (UCL/LCL) and trend alerts flag drift before it causes scrap.
Powder Lot Genealogy
Trace any finished part back to its powder lot, including alloy, supplier, certifications, and reuse history. Essential for aerospace and defense traceability requirements.
Audit-Ready Records
Every inspection, NCR, disposition, and corrective action is timestamped and linked to the part. Pull a complete quality history for any part in seconds, not hours.
Built for Regulated Manufacturing
ISO 9001
Quality management system foundation. Document control, process monitoring, corrective actions, and continuous improvement — all built into daily operations.
AS9100
Aerospace-specific quality requirements. Enhanced traceability, configuration management, risk assessment, and first article inspection support.
ITAR
International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Enterprise plans include US-only hosting, access controls restricted to US persons, and export-controlled data handling.
CMMC
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. Role-based access controls, encrypted data at rest and in transit, audit logging, and tenant isolation.
