    Airframe Designs

     

    Background

     

    AFD is a team of highly experienced engineers (design, analysis, certification, and manufacturing) delivering optimal solutions for mechanical structures in a digital environment.

    In the primary sectors, we provide engineering solutions for new design, modifications, repairs and reverse engineering.

    We also offer a turn-key solution by providing design, analysis and manufacturing to enable delivery of mechanical components and assemblies, all aspects of tooling, and 3D printed polymer parts.

    In addition to servicing the aerospace and defence sectors, we also operate in the nuclear, marine, medical, automotive and rail sectors.

     

    What can you offer to NAA Members

     

    For members looking to adopt and utilise additive manufacturing in their supply chain and looking for a turn-key solution for solving engineering and manufacturing challenges from Design for Additive through to part delivery, then look no further as AFD is adept in this relatively new and innovative field.

    Our agile team brings a wealth of cross-sector experience to help customers realise the benefits of Additive Manufacturing in product lead-time, cost, weight, complexity and environmental goals.

    We use a digital design environment and can reverse engineer existing designs using our hand-held laser scanner to create digital twins.

    We apply simulation techniques to predict structural performance and simulate heat transfer.

    We also use structural and flammability testing to characterise the performance of various materials when strength and performance at higher temperatures is a consideration.

    Our production facility has a wide range of 3D printers ranging from low-cost Bambu machines for mock-ups and trial parts through to industrial grade Stratasys Fortus machines for printing ULTEM, ANTERO and other PEEK style high performing polymer production parts.

    We thrive on providing bespoke solutions, engineered and crafted specifically to help our customers reduce lead-times and improve their cost-effectiveness.
