AF Engineering & Design Services Ltd (AFEDS) specialise in both product development and manufacturing using the latest in CAD CAM technology.

We provide much more than just components: we offer the most comprehensive service, technical experience and ability from the design stage right through to the delivery of your product.

We have worked with a broad range of industry sectors, and currently supply to the following:
Automotive, Arts, Construction, Defence, Education, Electronics, Instrument, Marine, Medical, Motorsport, Pharmaceutical, Rail.

Design
AFEDS have worked with Autodesk products for many years, predominantly using Inventor Professional series for our 3D modelling work. This enables us to design complex components or assemblies and evaluate best methods of manufacture.

Of course, the images, drawings and animations are excellent marketing tools for discussion, prior to manufacture, and the feedback can be important to make final adjustments. The model files can be quickly refined to suit the customer's requirements, and the manufacturing process can begin.

The CAD data or 3D models are directly used by the CAM software to generate CNC programmes, networked with each machine to produce finished components, eliminating the risk of interpretation error or manual programming mistakes.
