Our Capabilities
Our capabilities encompass:
Design
Analysis
Certification Manufacturing
Our design capability stretches across mechanical structure, tooling, and test rigs, bringing extensive experience in CAD modelling from concept to first article inspection. Design
We have three teams within the business covering Stress, Design, and Additive Manufacturing. We have contributed to over 500 projects in collaboration with a wide array of customers, with our team bringing knowledge and experience spanning five decades. We have experts appointed by customers to check and verify engineering data.
We deliver accurate and reliable 3D models and 2D datasets to enable the manufacture of mechanical products. Our team is highly familiar with the gated design review process and design steps from concept through preliminary, critical, and final design review (PDR, CDR and FDR). Our baseline tool-set includes CATIA. However, our team is also well-versed in several other CAD systems including Siemens NX, Solidworks, Inventor, and CREO. We also provide support in reverse engineering, designing for additive manufacture (DfAM), and legacy data digitisation, utilising VERISURF software for converting scanned data-point clouds into usable CAD models and surfaces.
AFD was engaged from start to finish in our Taipan Gun Mount programme, providing reliable specialist support in the structures topic. During both the prototype and serial production phases, AFD supported both GVH UK and GVH AU in solving complex strength issues, preparing the ground for a successful certification campaign. AFD offer a turn- key Structures solution for EASA DOAs by providing a team of experienced Stress Engineers backed up by independent Compliance Verification Engineers (CVEs).
