AFT - Micro Parts
The progress made in design software in recent years enables design engineers to re-think engineering limits and set new standards in complexity, performance and miniaturisation. We are frequently tasked with the responsibility to translate concepts into reality and production batches – many projects have seen the light of day through our ability to develop techniques and tooling suited to micro machining. It is never simply a question of investing in a smaller machine to make a smaller part; we already operate machines designed for the watch making industry (in the days before watches needed to be recognisable at 50 metres on the touchline!). The skill is in altering tool holding and work holding practices, in predicting deflection of tools, in judging material speed & thermal transfer and a host of similar potential variables not usually experienced on larger components.
