Delivering 3D Scanning Solutions since 2008
From engine blocks to surfboards, statues and mining equipment — we capture precise 3D data onsite or in-house for reverse engineering, inspection and CAD conversion, fast and accurately.
Reverse engineering captures data from a physical component using our Shining 3D optical scanner. From the captured point cloud data we export to the powerful SHININGFORM XOR software, where surfaces are added to the polygonised model to produce a watertight surface file — ready for export to CAD/CAM and rapid prototyping software.
Suitable export formats include STL, IGES, TXT, STEP ASCI and Parasolid X_T.
3D inspection is a highly accurate, non-contact method for measuring and verifying components against design specifications. Using advanced 3D scanning and inspection technology, we can quickly detect deviations, ensure quality, and maintain consistency in manufacturing.
Key features of 3D inspection:
Why 3D Prototyping
Structured-light and laser scanning down to 0.02 mm — fine detail and complex geometry captured faithfully.
Verified, traceable scan data with full inspection and deviation reporting on every project.
We scan large or fixed assets on your site — engine blocks, statues, mining equipment and more.
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. They really do know their stuff!”
“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 respond within 1 business day • No obligation quote
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.
