AForge’s Advanced Manufacturing integrates cutting-edge design, prototype, and production capacities, leveraging Additive Manufacturing for unparalleled design freedom. We accomplish this through topology optimization and generative design, yielding enhanced efficiency and innovation. Integrated CNC machining ensures we meet stringent precision standards. We offer end-to-end mission management, covering pre-manufacturing design, simulation, and reverse engineering, complemented with post-manufacturing metrology and inspection.
Additive manufacturing is at the core of our process, enabling geometric freedom that redefines limitations. Our expertise in DFAM introduces complex structures and organic geometry to improve the deliverable through light-weighting, assembly consolidation, and unexplored functionality. This is achieved through our functional expertise in CAD, generative design, and topology optimization.
“Advanced Manufacturing” or “Hybrid Manufacturing” is the strategic combination of additive and subtractive manufacturing. Where CNC precision is necessary, machining operations are placed downstream of additive manufacturing, bringing traditional machined precision to the final product. We uncover untapped potential at the design stage where geometry is optimized for the additive and subtractive processes. Our capabilities include CNC 5-axis, CNC lathe, and EDM.
AForge Engineering supports the objective with a full-stack suite of capabilities. Our design/development expertise includes advanced CAD, FEA, CFD, and reverse engineering from 3D scan data. Our post-manufacturing capabilities include metrology-grade inspection for dimensional and GD&T analysis prior to delivery of the product. Our facility supports escalation to production scale, where high volume demand can be met without sacrificing quality.
AForge AM incorporates a range of innovative techniques such as automation, robotics, additive manufacturing (3D printing), artificial intelligence, internet of things (IoT), and data analytics paired with decades of in-theater experience for fast results at the speed of relevance.
