Why 3D Prototyping

The Operational Advantages

Six reasons why clients choose us — and keep coming back.

DfAM Engineering on Every Job

Every file reviewed before it hits the build queue. Wall thickness, support structure, tolerancing, material suitability — caught before build, not after. Our engineers have reviewed thousands of parts across every major technology.

Single Point of Contact, Start to Finish

One team handles your CAD review, your prototype, your vacuum cast bridge run, and your injection-moulded production parts. No technology handoffs, no re-quoting, no re-qualifying a new supplier.

24-Hour Quotes from Engineers

Not an automated calculator. A production engineer reviews your geometry and returns a competitive, accurate quote within 24 hours. Most standard requests are turned around the same business day.

IP Protected — Sign NDA

No offshore outsourcing. Your files, your geometry, and your production data never leave Australia. We sign a full NDA before any file transfer. Critical for defence, medical, and aerospace clients.

Volume-Optimised Process Selection

We recommend the cheapest process that meets your mechanical requirements — not the one that fills our most expensive machine. At low volume, SLS beats injection moulding. At high volume, the inverse is true. We tell you which is which.

Scalable from 1 to 1,000,000 Parts

Start with a single SLS prototype for fit-check. Scale to 100 vacuum cast units for market validation. Move to injection moulding for production volume. All with the same team, same quality system, same contact.

OUR PROCESS

From File to Finished Part in 5 Steps

No jargon, no surprises. Here's exactly what happens after you make contact.

1
Submit Your File
Upload STL, STEP, IGES, or OBJ — or simply describe your project if you're not CAD-ready yet.
2
Engineering Review
Our engineers assess printability, recommend the optimal process and material for your requirements.
3
Same-Day Quote
You receive an itemised quote — process, material, finishing, and delivery options — within hours.
4
Print & QA
Parts are produced on industrial equipment and checked against your specification before dispatch.
5
Delivered to You
Courier to your door anywhere in Australia, or collect from our Brisbane facility.
Industries

Built for Australia's Critical Sectors

High-margin, high-consequence industries where engineering rigour and IP protection matter more than the lowest price per part.

Aerospace & Defence
Mission-Critical Components

Lightweight brackets, ducting, structural inserts, and tooling fixtures. Material traceability, dimensional inspection, and an AS9100-aligned mindset on every aerospace job.

Boeing supply chainDefenceRAAF contractors
Medical & Healthcare
Precision Biomedical Parts

Device housings, surgical models, patient-specific prosthetics, and implant trials. Biocompatible materials, Class 1 medical-grade documentation, and the Cochlear track record to back it up.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats do you accept?+

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.

What are your lead times, and do you offer express turnaround?+

Standard lead times are 3–5 business days depending on technology and part complexity. Express 24–48 hour turnaround is available on most SLS, MJF, and SLA orders — contact us to confirm capacity.

What is the maximum build volume for each technology?+

Build envelopes vary by system: SLS/MJF up to 380×284×380mm; SLA up to 500×500×600mm; FDM up to 400×400×500mm; DMLS up to 250×250×325mm. Oversized parts can be split and bonded — contact us for a feasibility review.

What is the minimum order quantity?+

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.

Do you offer finishing, painting, or post-processing services?+

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.

Is my CAD file kept confidential?+

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.

Do you ship outside Brisbane / across Australia?+

Yes. We ship to all states and territories across Australia with same-day dispatch for completed orders. International freight is also available — contact us for a quote.
