Red Hawk Engineering Services

  • The Red Hawk team of engineers understand your needs, be it low volume rapid tooling, or complete end-to-end qualified part production.

  • A manufacturing plan is developed to specify methods, technical and quality requirements, and post-production service requirements.

  • A contract is negotiated specifying costs and lead times of major milestones.

  • Tooling design is completed in-house. Depending on customer needs, digital part design can also be performed.

  • Our simulation capabilities include FEA for thermal and structural considerations of your part, if required.
  • Every tooling design is optimized through our flow simulation software to ensure quality castings on the first pour.
  • Tooling is rapidly produced on our purpose-built 3D printers. Depending on pattern size, this can be competed in a matter of hours or days.
  • Patterns are finished for surface quality and framed in-house before going to one of our trusted casting suppliers, or delivered to you if part production is your business.
  • Red Hawk maintains close relationships with local, qualified suppliers capable of casting, molding, or forming your part using our rapid tooling.
  • We offer finishing operations through our local supply base including heat treatment, machining, chemical treatment, coating, and more.
  • Using our state-of-the-art FARO arm 3D scanner, Red Hawk inspects products at every step in the production process.
  • Additional inspection options are available, including mechanical testing, radiography, and dye penetrant.
  • Final parts are delivered with full inspection and certification packet.
  • All digital files, inspection data, and machine production instructions are stored on our secure servers for future access.
  • The repeatability of our tooling production printers eliminates the need to store the tooling physically during long gaps in production.
