Aerospace Rapid Prototyping Services

Prototype cost depends on the selected process, design complexity, component requirements, finishing needs, and whether the project involves CAD preparation, tooling evaluation, or additional development support. Finine Design and Manufacturing offers several approaches, including 3D printing, CNC machining, urethane casting, and injection molding. Project details can be reviewed directly to determine the most appropriate manufacturing path and provide pricing information.

Finine Design and Manufacturing can support prototype development through an integrated team and in-house facility in San Diego, California. Services include CAD modeling, 3D printing, CNC machining, urethane casting, injection molding, and production painting. Jaime is the primary contact and can help coordinate the appropriate path from concept or existing design through physical prototype and potential production.

Available services include CAD modeling, 3D printing, CNC machining, prototype and production urethane castings, injection molding, and production painting. These capabilities support design refinement, complex component evaluation, functional testing, low-volume production, tooling considerations, and presentation-ready finishes. The appropriate process depends on the component design, intended evaluation, material requirements, and development stage.

Yes. The CAD modeling service can convert concepts, drawings, scans, or existing designs into manufacturable digital models. Support may include geometry modification, design refinement, manufacturability improvements, and preparation for prototyping or production. This provides a practical starting point for teams that already have technical information but need help preparing a design for physical development.

3D printing is useful when a team needs to evaluate complex components, review design iterations, create models or fixtures, or assess a design before committing to tooling. It can also support low-volume applications and patterns. The best approach depends on the intended evaluation and the component’s requirements, so the design and desired outcome should guide process selection.

Yes. CNC machining supports prototype and low-volume production components, while urethane casting is suited to high-quality prototypes and short production runs. 3D printing can also support low-volume applications. These options help teams evaluate production-representative components before moving toward repeatable plastic-part production through injection molding.

Yes. Finine Design and Manufacturing supports the transition from initial design and prototyping toward production. CAD modeling can prepare manufacturable digital files, while injection molding supports repeatable plastic-part production and tooling evaluation. CNC machining, urethane casting, 3D printing, and production painting can support intermediate development, testing, low-volume needs, and finished presentation requirements.

Begin by sharing the available concept, drawing, scan, CAD file, or existing component information, along with the intended evaluation or production objective. Jaime can help review the project and identify suitable services, such as CAD modeling, 3D printing, machining, casting, molding, or painting. Appointments and facility tours are available by request, with regular weekday availability.
