Auto-Ballooning 2D Drawings:
Streamline Your Inspection Planning
High QA’s Auto-Ballooning tool revolutionizes the way you handle 2D drawings. Using advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology, it automatically identifies dimensions, applies balloons, and populates the Bill of Characteristics (BoC). This innovative feature saves time, reduces manual errors, and helps to ensure your inspection process aligns with industry standards like AS9100 and APQP.
