The workshop that works for you.
AFT designs and delivers custom workshops that put functionality and safety for user comfort first. Every element is tailored to your workflow needs.
Built around daily challenges
Why ready-made rarely fits just right.
Designing a functional orthopaedic or podiatry workshop isn’t as simple as filling a room with tools and machines. AFT has the solutions to help overcome the most common workspace roadblocks.
Workshop
Current machinery disrupting your space and workflow.
We configure your workshop around your team’s day-to-day needs. Our machines are positioned for safety and compliance without compromising on performance.
- Space-optimised machine layouts for smooth technician flow.
- Safety-first placement with dust extraction and noise control.
- Custom machine configurations for specialised orthopaedic tasks.
Materials
Storing and handling materials shouldn’t be an afterthought.
We plan for how and where materials move in your workshop to reduce clutter and search time while preventing contamination.
- Integrated material storage systems with ergonomic access.
- Clean zones for medical-grade materials.
- Logical material flow from delivery to finished product.
