3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing Services

Yes. 3D printing is generally considered a form of additive manufacturing because it creates a part by building material layer by layer from digital design data. The term additive manufacturing is broader and can describe the overall production approach, while 3D printing commonly refers to the equipment or process used to create the physical component.

Yes. 3D printing is an additive manufacturing technology. Unlike subtractive processes that remove material or molding processes that shape material in a tool, 3D printing builds components from digital models. It is useful for complex parts, design iterations, patterns, fixtures, models, prototypes, and selected low-volume applications.

Finine Design and Manufacturing provides 3D printing for complex components, rapid prototypes, design iterations, patterns, fixtures, models, and low-volume applications. The appropriate output depends on the project’s design and development requirements. The service can help teams evaluate a product physically before deciding whether to proceed with tooling or another production method.

Yes. 3D printing can help teams review and refine a design before committing to injection molding tooling. Physical prototypes make it easier to assess form, fit, and design direction. Finine Design and Manufacturing also provides CAD modeling, urethane casting, and injection molding, allowing related development and production work to be coordinated through one partner.

Yes. Finine Design and Manufacturing offers CAD modeling and engineering support to convert concepts, drawings, scans, or existing designs into manufacturable digital models. The work can include design refinement, geometry modification, manufacturability improvements, and preparation for prototyping or production before a 3D printed component is produced.

The company supports clients in automotive, military and defense, consumer electronics, and medical product development, including dental and orthopedic products. 3D printing and related modeling services can support prototypes, development models, fixtures, patterns, and other project needs across these stated industries.

Yes. The service catalog identifies low-volume applications as a use for 3D printing. Finine Design and Manufacturing also offers urethane casting for prototypes and low-volume production, along with CNC machining and injection molding. The best path depends on the product design, intended use, and development or production requirements.

Appointments are available by request, and the company is available Monday through Friday at minimum, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. You can discuss a concept, drawing, scan, existing design, prototype, or low-volume requirement with Jaime, the primary contact for Finine Design and Manufacturing.
