Future AM provides a total solution for medical prototypes, tooling, batch produced components and assemblies. Working in high performance stainless alloys, high nickel steels such as Inconel, chrome steels and titanium, the company offers design & development expertise and provides High Performance Machining to major partners in the Medical equipment and instrument industry.
Project management and auditing procedures conform to all relevant ISO and industry standards and offer First Article and Critical Dimension Analysis, Inspection by comparison to original CAD data, Process Capability Analysis and full serial control of medical assemblies.
Rapid prototyping for the creation of concept models greatly reduces design cycle time and thus time to market. Future works in partnership with its customers to maximise development and manufacturing activity, ensuring streamlined product development and shortest delivery timescales. Furthermore, the company understands the need to develop products which provide easy methods of assembly, in high volume assembly operations and works closely with customers to attain maximum production efficiency.
Future AM has the latest computer aided manufacturing stations, which in many cases, operate 24/7 unattended machining of exotic alloys. Multiple, computer-linked stations allow for concurrency of activity on larger projects.
A strong management and a multi-skilled workforce provide Future with the tools to respond quickly to changes in development and production schedules which larger organisations find difficult to accommodate.
All processes are fully audited and savings are made possible by the intelligent use of design and engineering.
