CAD support

Airspeed's senior engineering staff in the US, UK and China typically have 15-20 years individual experience in mechanical part design and manufacture.

We encourage our customers to engage with us early in the design process; often, we can discuss your requirements and make suggestions to simplify and enhance component performance. We will review your datapack in great detail, ensuring we have understood the tolerances and critical dimensions you need to achieve.

DFM

Airspeed excels in providing DFM feedback to our customers. Not only do we provide full DFM reports with mould flow analysis, but we will provide active feedback on how part geometry can be improved to give the best finish, recommending gate positions and draft for best surface finish, help to eliminate sinkage, recommend ejector pin locations and optimise tooling to achieve the most reliable results.

Prototyping and V&V

With 3D printing facilities and a test laboratory on-site, Airspeed is able to assist with validation testing during the design-phase as well as investigating and monitoring production quality. Unlike many of our competitors, We are able to support low-volume and pilot-production because we have a team of staff dedicate to New Product Introduction (NPI) programmes; flexibility and investment in our customers' ideas is one of our core values. If you have the vision, we have the innovation.

Tooling and Jigs

DFM is an end-to-end process; we will begin thinking about jigs and fixtures and how we can ensure production is controlled and standardized from the outset. Airspeed have a dedicated production support/production engineering staff who manage the site maintenance programme as well as designing and building test fixtures.
