Where Design
Meets the
Machine
Forgefront Engineering bridges the gap between structural intelligence and rigorous mechanical production. Hybrid manufacturing at aerospace-grade tolerances — from Istanbul to the global stage.
From Istanbul.
To the World.
We are not a job shop. We are an engineering partner — capable of taking a concept from topology-optimized digital geometry through additive generation, thermal processing, and precision subtractive finishing, all under one coordinated operational loop.
"The frontier of Turkish engineering is not defined by geography — it is defined by the ambition of its architects."
The
Intelligence
Layer
Transitioning from "just a drawing" to geometry that is engineered for reality. We assess every design for manufacturability, assembly efficiency, and structural optimality before a single gram of material is committed to production.

Ready to re-engineer your geometry?
The
Masterclass
Specialized CNC machining for additive manufactured metal parts. Combining L-PBF geometric freedom with 5-axis subtractive precision — achieving what neither process can accomplish alone.
Additive Build
Complex three-dimensional geometries are realized in high-performance metal alloys via Laser Powder Bed Fusion. Layer resolutions from 20–60µm allow internal channel networks, organic structural members, and lattice-infilled sections that are impossible in subtractive-only manufacturing. Each build is parameterized for post-process requirements — datum surfaces, critical interfaces, and thread bosses are left with deliberate stock allowance for precision machining.
Stabilization
All additive-built components carry significant residual stress from the rapid thermal cycling inherent to the L-PBF process. Before any precision machining begins, parts undergo controlled stress-relief heat treatment in atmosphere-controlled furnaces. Material-specific thermal profiles ensure microstructural integrity — for Inconel, full solution annealing and aging cycles are applied to restore the alloy to its peak mechanical properties.
Machining
High-speed 5-axis simultaneous machining removes the precision-critical stock left on mating surfaces, bore diameters, thread forms, and sealing interfaces. Our CAM programming accounts for the anisotropic material properties introduced by additive builds — toolpath strategies are adapted for elevated hardness zones and optimal chip load management in superalloy materials. Fixturing is engineered from the DfAM stage, ensuring zero datum shift between setups.
Validation
Every completed component is measured against its nominal CAD model using a Coordinate Measuring Machine to micron-level accuracy. Full GD&T callouts are verified — true position, cylindricity, flatness, and profile — with results archived in part-specific inspection reports. Dimensional data feeds back into process optimization, continuously tightening the loop between production and design intent.
The
Infrastructure
Scale, precision, and surface excellence under one roof. Our machine park is configured for the full production lifecycle — from first article to volume delivery.

Enterprise
Consulting
A premium, white-glove consultancy for organizations seeking to de-risk new product introductions, orchestrate supply chains, and establish automated production loops at industrial scale.
From Concept
to Production Loop
Our enterprise consulting tier is designed for clients who are not buying parts — they are building a capability. We embed alongside your engineering leadership to assess technical risk, architect the supply chain, and deliver a live factory loop that runs with minimal human intervention. This is the operational evolution of precision manufacturing — not outsourcing, but partnership.

The Architect
at the Helm
An architect by training and an industrialist by practice. Hasan Gökhan Akerdem began with a rigorous foundation in spatial reasoning, structural logic, and the language of form — principles that now underpin every engineering decision at Forgefront.
From structural aesthetics, the path led directly into rigorous mechanical engineering. The transition was not a departure — it was an amplification. The same disciplines that govern how a building stands govern how a machined component fails: load paths, material honesty, and dimensional hierarchy.
As Founder and CEO, Hasan established Forgefront Engineering to bridge a gap that few in Turkish manufacturing were positioned to address: the integration of high-end design intelligence with production-grade manufacturing capability. Forgefront is not a vendor — it is an engineering partner, built to compete at the global aerospace, defense, and industrial level.
With deep expertise in 5-axis machining and hybrid manufacturing, Hasan leads operations from Turkey while extending the frontier of Turkish engineering to the global stage — including strategic operations in the United States, positioning Forgefront as a transatlantic precision manufacturing partner.
