Whether you are a small aerospace business looking to grow with targeted research into industry trends or a large non-aerospace business that is looking to borrow lessons learned from the aerospace industry to improved your product's quality Tobin Aerospace can help.

Whether it's a boat, train, plane, automobile, submarine or rocket... if it moves through a fluid we can help. With our background in the design of aircraft and fluid vehicles we are able to assist in the preliminary stages of your design to ensure that your product will meet or exceed the primary and secondary design objectives. With our background in design and manufacturing we can perform a deep review of your concepts to ensure that they are manufacturable with current processes and technology, and perform trade studies to show your team where they might get more performance out of your concept for less effort and cost.

In the aerospace industry there is general trend moving towards increased use of composite materials. This is for a good reason, tailored performance. With your conceptual design in hand Tobin Aerospace, drawing on our experience in composite design and manufacturing, can advise your team when and where it makes sense to use composite material, what challenges your design may encounter (materials allowables, certification) and help you overcome those challenges. With our experience we can advise your team on material selection and best practices associated with defining your composite materials and parts to ensure that they are analyzed and manufactured consistently, or even perform the design activities for you.

At Tobin Aerospace we are able to provide our customers with drawings models and specifications to define your product using either typical aerospace standard definition practices or custom standards that you request. Whether your business works with 2D drawings or full 3D model based definition we can support your design and manufacturing needs.

Our designers are familiar with a number of CAD software systems and drafting standards in order to better support your needs and design using your native CAD environment. Our experience includes but is not limited to:

• 3DS Catia
• 3DS Solidworks
• Autodesk AutoCAD
• PTC Creo
• Siemens NX
• Siemens FiberSIM

Have you or your team ever been confused about what your version of a document is the most recent? If so you may have a configuration management issue. In the aerospace being able to identify the configuration of every component is extremely important to keep your certifications. Regardless of whether your business supports the aerospace industry or not proper configuration management ensures that everyone working in or with your organization is on the same page, eliminating confusion and reducing the risk of costly reworks and scrap. Tobin Aerospace can leverage its experience in the aerospace industry to help your team develop a workable, integrated, configuration management solution that fits your company's size and budget.

Tobin Aerospace understands that once your design is completed you want your product in your hands immediately. Whether it's for fit check, preliminary testing or marketing, you want something you can touch and show to your customers, and you want it yesterday. With our network of local aerospace, marine and industrial SME's Tobin Aerospace can get you a prototype quick.

With our team coming from the maintenance and manufacturing sector we know how things are made. Whether its metal, composite or plastic we can assist your team with setting up your assembly line, from tooling design to first part certification, to reach its optimal potential.

Looking to implement new manufacturing techniques such as additive manufacturing (3D printing) into your manufacturing chain we can help review designs, suggest feasible parts to be fabricated (going to require cost benefit analysis) and processes required, help with redesign etc. and help with design for additive manufacturing ideology.
