From PDF to ballooned FAI report — in one click.

Upload any engineering drawing. CadNexa's AI auto-detects every dimension, boxes and numbers each one, reads its value + tolerance, and builds your First Article Inspection report. Works on vector and scanned PDFs.

Step 1 · Auto-detect

AI balloons every dimension

One click. The AI finds each dimension, tolerance, GD&T frame, hole and thread callout, draws a numbered balloon on it, and reads the exact value straight from the drawing.

  • Vector PDFs (exact text) + scanned PDFs (OCR)
  • GD&T symbol recognition (⌀ ⊥ ∥ ⊕ ◎ ⌭ ⏥)
  • Multi-page support, reading-order numbering
  • Review, re-box & verify on the canvas

Step 2 · FAI report

Export an inspection-ready report

Every ballooned dimension flows into a printable First Article Inspection report — value, tolerance, datum, inspection method — in the exact layout your customer requires.

  • AS9102-style layout (Aerospace)
  • PPAP layout (Automotive)
  • ISO, ASME, DIN, JIS, GB, IS layouts
  • Inspection method suggested by feature size
  • CSV export for CMM upload
  • Download the ballooned PDF
Generate a report

Your QA team spends 4-6 hours on a single FAI report.
CadNexa does it in under 10 minutes.

Cut inspection time by 70% — let the AI find, number and read every dimension while you focus on the report.

10 report layouts: AS9102, PPAP, ISO, ASME, DIN, JIS, GB, IS + custom. Balloon, auto-fill dimensions, generate, done.

Try with sample drawing
Built by a plant head, for QA inspection.

14 years of shop floor experience encoded into the auto-ballooning + FAI workflow. Not academic — practical.

1-Click Auto-Balloon

AI detects every dimension on every page, boxes and numbers each one, and reads the value — no clicking dimension by dimension.

Vector & Scanned PDFs

Exact text straight from vector PDFs; OCR for scanned drawings. Either way, every callout gets a balloon.

GD&T & Tolerances

Recognizes ⌀ ⊥ ∥ ⊕ ◎ ⌭ ⏥, diameters, radii, threads, chamfers, and ± tolerances — captured with the dimension.

10 FAI Report Layouts

AS9102 (Aerospace), PPAP (Automotive), ISO, ASME, DIN, JIS, GB, IS + custom — the layout your customer requires.

Review, Re-box & Verify

Every balloon is editable. Re-box a dimension, fix a value, or run the AI verify pass — you stay in control of the final report.

Export & CMM-Ready

Download the ballooned PDF and export a CSV of all dimensions for CMM upload. Multi-page drawings fully supported.

"We used to spend an entire day on one AS9102 FAI report. With CadNexa's balloon tool, our QA team finishes the same report before lunch. The dimension parsing alone saves us 3 hours per drawing."

— QA Engineer, Automotive Tier-2 Supplier

"Built from 14 years of running a manufacturing plant. Every feature exists because I needed it on the shop floor and couldn't find it anywhere. This is the tool I wish I had as a plant head."

— Founder, CadNexa
