Continuous and chopped carbon fibre reinforcement delivers aerospace-grade strength-to-weight ratios in printed parts. Purpose-built for structural brackets, jigs, fixtures and end-use production components.
Continuous fibre reinforcement transforms the already-strong Onyx nylon matrix into parts that compete with machined aluminium — at a fraction of the lead time and without CNC setup costs.
Continuous carbon fibre reinforcement achieves tensile strengths up to 800 MPa — exceeding 6061 aluminium (310 MPa) and approaching stainless steel. With a fraction of the density, the specific strength (strength/weight) surpasses most metals.
Eliminating CNC setup, fixturing and tooling costs means a single structural bracket can be produced economically in 1–2 days. Design changes are free — simply update the file and reprint.
Continuous fibre rings and isotropic fibre layers can be oriented to match your load path — unlike chopped carbon FDM, where fibres are randomly distributed. Our team will advise on optimal fibre routing for your application.
Carbon fibre for maximum stiffness and strength, Kevlar for impact and blast resistance, HSHT Fibreglass for high-temperature applications, and standard Fibreglass for cost-sensitive structural parts. All in the same platform.
Onyx — the base matrix material — is a carbon-filled nylon with inherent ESD-dissipative properties. Critical for electronics assembly fixtures, avionics tooling and any application where static discharge must be controlled.
Hollow tube sections with continuous fibre winding, internal ribbing for buckling resistance, and topology-optimised lightweight structures — all achievable without the constraints of filament winding or prepreg layup.
Anywhere structural performance, low weight and design freedom must coexist — continuous carbon fibre printing delivers.
All parts are built with Onyx as the matrix material. Reinforcement fibres are co-deposited to your fibre layout specification.
Lead Times: Onyx and Onyx + Carbon Fibre builds ship in 3–5 business days. Kevlar and HSHT Fibreglass reinforcement requires 5–8 business days. Complex fibre path optimisation may require additional engineering review time — contact us to discuss your requirements.
From CAD to structural composite part — with fibre routing reviewed for your load case.
File submitted. We review wall thickness, fibre routing feasibility and load path alignment.
Continuous fibre layers assigned. Concentric rings, isotropic fill or custom routing set per your load requirements.
Onyx extruder lays matrix material. Fibre head co-deposits continuous strands in designated layers at 100µm resolution.
Water-soluble support material removed. Parts cleaned and inspected for fibre continuity and surface quality.
Dimensional check, fibre layer count verification, job card sign-off. Packed and dispatched with tracking.
We work with engineers, designers and procurement teams across Australia every day.
"I would highly recommend Pratik at 3D Printing — with his analytical mind he helped re-engineer a component for an electric scooter. The final design was cost effective, strong and an exact fit."
"Can't speak more highly of this Company. They overcame many difficulties through their tenacity and patience. I highly recommend this company for any 3D prototyping, design or development of your idea."
"Great service, quick turnaround — I needed parts scanned, a couple of design changes and printed. All done quickly, efficiently and A+ quality. Definitely recommend the team at 3D Prototyping."
"It was a pleasure dealing with 3D Prototyping. They are professional and their customer service is excellent. I would recommend these guys any time over any other players in this industry."
"This Company is good, efficient and easy to deal with. Their advice and knowledge around materials really helped us get what we needed. Great service provided. We will certainly use this company again."
Our engineers review every enquiry personally. Upload your CAD file for a detailed quote, or send a brief description and we'll respond within 2 business hours.
We accept STL, STEP, STP, OBJ, IGES, and 3MF. STL is preferred for most processes. If your file is in another format, upload what you have and our engineering team will assess it.
Standard lead times depend on the technology, part complexity, and production method. They range from 3–5 business days for prototypes to 8–10 weeks for injection-moulded parts. Accurate lead times are provided with every quote.
Build envelopes vary by system: SLA up to 800×800×550mm; SLS up to 360×360×420mm; MJF up to 380×380×280mm; SLM up to 450×450×500mm; FDM up to 1000×1000×1000mm. Oversized parts can be split and bonded — contact us for a feasibility review.
There is no minimum order quantity. We regularly produce single prototypes through to production runs of thousands of parts. Pricing scales with volume — ask us for a batch quote.
Yes. We offer media blasting, dyeing, priming, painting, sanding, vapour smoothing, and custom colour matching. All post-processing is handled in-house to maintain full quality control and traceability.
Absolutely. All client files and intellectual property are treated as strictly confidential. We are happy to sign a mutual NDA before receiving your files — just ask.
Yes. We ship to all states and territories across Australia with same-day dispatch for completed orders.
Australia’s production-grade 3D printing and manufacturing bureau. From concept to production — one team, one NDA. Delivering nationwide since 2008.
