What We Do

Advanced Manufacturing: R&D through Production

AForge’s Advanced Manufacturing integrates cutting-edge design, prototype, and production capabilities. We leverage Additive Manufacturing (AM) for unparalleled design freedom, utilizing topology optimization and generative design. Integrated CNC machining ensures we meet stringent precision standards.

Unlocking Design Freedom with Additive

Additive manufacturing enables geometric freedom, redefining limitations. Along with expertise in CAD, generative design, and topology optimization, our mastery of DFAM introduces complex structures and organic geometry–improving deliverables with light-weighting, assembly consolidation, and unexplored functionality.

Maintaining Precision and Repeatability

Advanced Manufacturing” or “Hybrid Manufacturing” strategically combines additive and subtractive manufacturing. Where CNC precision is necessary, we place machining operations downstream of additive manufacturing, achieving traditional machined precision. Our capabilities include CNC 5-axis, CNC lathe, and EDM.

View Example 1
A customer wants parts made with rapid turnaround time: Customer would enter flow 3, exit at 5
View Example 2
A startup customer has a hand-made assembly. He wants to source a batch of prototypes for a soft launch and lacks the necessary design capabilities to transition to quality scalable manufacturing. Customer would enter flow at 1, exit at 5 or 6
