One inspection plan, checked at every shop.
We write the inspection plan for every part before it’s cut. Probe routines, the plan and the report template travel inside the Job Packet — so every critical dimension is checked, at every shop.

Measured · recorded at the shop
- Instrument ID and calibration date recorded per line
- First article at every shop when the packet changes
Three layers. Every critical dimension covered.
Every guarantee-critical dimension is checked by at least one layer. A packet isn’t released until each one has a probe check or a named feature on the inspection plan.
In-machine probing
At the shop, during the cut
Probe routines from the packet verify the setup, gate each operation and measure final critical dimensions. An out-of-tolerance result stops the job.
Shop inspection
At the shop, after each operation
The shop inspects to our plan — named instruments, named features, a set sample plan — on a report pre-filled with nominals and tolerances.
Central verification
Praetore or partner metrology
First article on every new packet revision, skip-lot audits, all Tight-class work and any source inspection you require. Central QC has the final say.
A first article at every shop, every time the packet changes.
The first run of every new packet revision at every shop gets a first article. Approval releases that shop to run production quantity.
Jobs can move safely
A shop picking up a proven packet runs a reduced first article on setup-sensitive features. The verification moves with the job.
AS9102 on request
First article in AS9102 format whenever you ask for it — our internal format otherwise, measured to the same plan.
When a part is wrong, the job stops.
We look for the packet failure first, because a packet fix applies once, at every shop.
The job stops
Any layer can flag a part. The job pauses at that operation, and a nonconformance report opens with photos, measurements and the packet attached.
Dispositioned within four business hours
Central engineering decides: use as is (with your approval where the print requires it), rework under an amended packet, or scrap.
Root cause starts with the packet
If the packet missed something, the fix ships as a packet revision — once, for every shop. Shop-caused issues are recorded in that shop’s standing.
Containment within 24 hours
If a defect reaches you, we trace every affected lot and contact you first. The part is remade at Rush speed at our cost, or refunded.
Every part traces back to its packet.
One record links each part from packet revision to ship date. One query answers the question that matters on a bad day: what else could be affected?
What ships with every order
- Material certs for the lot your part was cut from.
- A dimensional report to the packet’s inspection plan.
- First article in AS9102 format, on request.
- The full traceability record, kept with your order.
Calibrated instruments
Every instrument the plan names must be in current calibration. Its ID and calibration date go on the inspection report, so the record reaches the gauge — not just the number.

hello@praetore.com- Certifications
- Praetore does not hold ISO 9001, AS9100, ISO 13485 or CMMC certification today. Send us your supplier-quality requirements and we’ll answer each one as written.
- Tight tolerances
- Tight-class work routes only to shops with a CMM on site and gauge R&R evidence.
Send us a part
Upload a CAD file. We engineer it once, and every run after — at any shop in the network — is the same part. Catalog parts are priced in minutes; custom work is quoted within two business days.
Run jobs, not quotes
We send American shops programmed, verified jobs. No quoting, no programming, no fees — and you’re paid on delivery.
