Aerodine brings composite R&D, design, prototyping, tooling, manufacturing, and quality control together to help customers move complex programs forward. Our integrated team supports aerospace, defense, UAV, manned aircraft, motorsport, medical, and industrial applications from early development through repeatable production.
Composite programs move faster when engineering decisions, tooling strategy, manufacturing processes, and quality requirements are considered together. Aerodine provides connected services that reduce handoffs, identify risk early, and create a clearer path from initial concept to production-ready parts and assemblies.
Composite Research and Development
Develop new composite technologies and solve difficult engineering challenges with support grounded in more than 30 years of hands-on manufacturing experience. Aerodine helps evaluate materials, part concepts, manufacturing feasibility, tooling strategy, and production readiness before major investments are made.
Key capabilities:
• Material and process evaluation
• Manufacturing feasibility and tooling strategy
• Development-to-production planning
Turn performance requirements into practical, manufacturable composite parts and structures. Aerodine considers geometry, load paths, laminate construction, materials, tooling, inspection, and production needs early so designs can move forward with less risk and fewer costly revisions.
Key capabilities:
• Design for manufacturability and feasibility review
• CAD modeling, laminate optimization, and FEA
• Material selection and production-readiness support
Validate form, fit, function, materials, layup strategies, cure behavior, and manufacturing methods before committing to full production. Aerodine uses prototype parts, rapid tooling, fixtures, and 3D printed models to support faster learning and a stronger transition into repeatable manufacturing.
Key capabilities:
• Prototype composite parts and development builds
• Rapid tooling, molds, fixtures, and assembly aids
• 3D printed models, fit checks, and process validation
Build the precise molds, master patterns, and fixtures required for consistent composite production. Aerodine manages tooling design and fabrication in-house, helping customers improve accuracy, surface quality, repeatability, tool life, and readiness for higher production rates.
Key capabilities:
• Tooling configuration and mold design
• CNC master patterns and direct-pull tooling board
• Composite and metal production tooling
Produce high-performance composite components through controlled processes suited to the part, material system, and production goal. Aerodine supports prototype, low-volume, repeat, and scaled production programs with integrated manufacturing, machining, assembly, bonding, and material preparation capabilities.
Key capabilities:
• Autoclave and out-of-autoclave manufacturing
• Press curing, compression molding, and bladder molding
• Core processing, machining, assembly, bonding, and cut-and-kit services
Maintain control, traceability, and confidence throughout the program. Aerodine supports customer and industry requirements through documented quality plans, material controls, in-process inspection, final inspection, First Article Inspection, and AS9102 FAIR documentation.
Key capabilities:
• AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 quality systems
• FAA Part 145 Repair Station license
• Inspection, traceability, documentation, and customer-specific quality planning
Whether you are evaluating an early concept, improving an existing design, validating a prototype, developing tooling, or preparing for production, Aerodine can help define the right next step. Talk with our team about your requirements, timeline, and production goals.
