About AF Automotive
AF Automotive GmbH specializes in the development and production of tools, individual parts and module groups. The company manufactures tooling equipment for punching, deep-drawing, pressing and embossing parts, develops cutting geometries via CNC machining, and supports projects from prototype to series production start. Manufacturing services include prototype parts of up to 800 pieces per prototype, small series of up to 10,000 pieces per year, and assemblies of up to 10,000 pieces per year per series application. The company produces stainless steel and aluminum parts including finishing (etching, polishing, chrome plating, PVD coating, anodizing, painting) as well as plastic parts. The range of capabilities covers 3- and 5-axis CNC milling, MIG/MAG/TIG welding and certified spot welding, 3D laser cutting and sheet metal forming up to 3 mm sheet thickness. Customers include BMW, Daimler, Audi, Magna, EDAG and CCL Design.

Materials & Processes
CNC Milling
Production of one-off parts, gauges, fixtures and prototype/small-series tooling.
Welding Technology
Processing of virtually all metals including certified spot welding.
3D Laser Cutting
Three-dimensional components often only receive contours and cutouts after forming.
Sheet Metal Forming
Forming of all types of sheet metal up to 3 mm thickness and approx. 900 x 900 x 500 mm size.
Surface Finishing
Etching, polishing, chrome plating, PVD coating, anodizing and painting of stainless steel and aluminum parts.
Design & Simulation
Tool development for sheet metal parts production with CATIA, IGES, VDA and NX data types.
