Autodesk Automation Specialists
We eliminate manual work from engineering Autodesk workflows — and build the software that connects everything else.
Inventor. Vault. AutoCAD. iLogic. ERP integration. Custom .NET tooling. If it slows your team down, we automate it.
Sound Familiar?
Engineering teams running Autodesk tools lose significant time every week to work that should already be automated.
Manual exports eating engineering time
Engineers spending Friday afternoons manually generating BOM exports, PDF drawing packages, and DXF files that a job processor could run overnight.
Vault and your ERP living in separate worlds
A file released in Vault doesn't tell your ERP. Someone copies the data manually — or it doesn't happen, and the discrepancy surfaces weeks later.
Every variant means rebuilding by hand
Each new product configuration requires someone to manually adjust parameters, suppress features, and rebuild assemblies — work iLogic and custom add-ins can drive from a form.
This is exactly the work we eliminate.
What We Do
Autodesk automation is our foundation. Custom software and integration is where we've expanded.
Autodesk Inventor, Vault & AutoCAD Automation
Our core specialism — refined over years of production delivery for engineering businesses. The Autodesk API is where we live.
Custom Software & Web Applications
Full-stack .NET development — internal tooling, monitoring dashboards, Windows services, and customer-facing platforms. Built with the same engineering rigour we apply to Autodesk work.
Integration & APIs
Connecting systems that should already be talking — ERP, PDM, Microsoft 365, and bespoke data pipelines. Robust, observable, and maintainable by the people who inherit them.
What Automation Actually Delivers
Not in theory — in production Vault and Inventor environments.
Drawing packages in seconds, not hours
Automated PDF and DXF export jobs replace manual one-by-one outputs across entire assemblies and sub-assemblies.
Vault releases that trigger downstream systems
Lifecycle transitions that automatically notify ERP, update property maps, and kick off job processor queues without any manual steps.
Configurators non-engineers can drive
iLogic forms and custom add-ins that let sales or production configure product variants without touching Inventor directly.
Data standards enforced at entry
Validation rules that prevent bad data entering Vault in the first place — rather than discovering and cleaning it up weeks later.
Why AF Automations
Hands-on Autodesk experience
We work in Inventor and Vault on real engineering projects — not just reading the API documentation. That matters when the edge cases show up.
Built around your process, not a template
Every engineering business runs Vault differently. Solutions are designed around your lifecycle states, folder structure, and ERP — not a generic best-practice baseline.
We stay involved after go-live
Delivery doesn't stop at handover. We iterate on real usage, maintain solutions as your tools evolve, and build on what we've already shipped.
