Home / Our Process / Inspection & Quality Control
At Leading Edge Manufacturing, quality is built into every step. As we work toward ISO 9001:2015 certification, structured inspections and quality management systems verify everything from raw material to final part, so your project arrives exactly as specified, on time and within budget.
Uncompromising quality standards
Strict quality management processes
Consistent accuracy across every project
Our multi-stage inspections catch issues before they reach your door, checking dimensional accuracy, function, and appearance.
Incoming material is checked for quantity, size, alloy, and aesthetics, then tagged as approved before it can be used.
We inspect the first part before larger runs to catch issues early, covering dimensions, fit and function, aesthetics, weld quality, materials, testing, and documentation.
Checks at each stage of production confirm dimensions, aesthetics, weld quality, materials, and documentation before work moves on.
NDE is performed by a third-party team qualified to ASNT-TC1 Level II for magnetic particle (MT), dye-penetrant (PT), ultrasonic (UT), and visual (VT) testing.
After powder coating, our quality inspector checks coating thickness (mils), degree of cure, and adhesion.
Every product must pass a final inspection against all internal and external standards before it leaves our door.

To make sure everything we receive meets your project’s requirements before production begins. We verify quantity, size, alloy, and aesthetics against the project specifications.
A First Article Inspection is performed at the start of production to validate that the manufacturing process produces parts that meet all requirements. It focuses on dimensions, tolerances, fit, function, and overall quality.
We implement In-Process Inspections at various production stages. These inspections monitor dimensions, aesthetics, weld quality, and material verification to maintain consistent quality throughout manufacturing.
NDE is not performed in-house. Instead, we work with certified third-party professionals who conduct NDE tests such as Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Dye-Penetrant Testing (PT), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), and Visual Examination Testing (VT) to ASNT-TC1 standards.
After powder coating, our inspectors check the finish three ways: coating thickness (measured in mils), degree of cure, and adhesion, to ensure a durable, high-quality finish.
Our final inspection is a comprehensive review ensuring the product meets all internal and external standards. It includes checks on dimensions, fit, function, aesthetics, weld quality, material verification, and documentation.
We are actively working toward ISO 9001:2015 certification. In the meantime, we maintain strict quality management systems to ensure our products meet high industry standards.
We maintain detailed records at every inspection stage, ensuring full traceability of materials and processes. This documentation supports quality assurance and facilitates any necessary audits or reviews.
