Services
3D printing, CAD, CNC and EDM services in Brisbane
FDM and SLA 3D printing and CAD design in-house in Brisbane, with CNC machining and EDM through our international machining partner. Every part is dimensionally inspected before it ships.
Additive · FDM
FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling)
Melted thermoplastic laid down layer by layer. FDM is the workhorse for functional parts, prototypes, moulds, and jigs. It is strong, economical, and quick to iterate. Choose it when the part has to do a job rather than sit on a shelf, and when size or engineering plastics matter more than the finest surface detail.
Capabilities
- Materials PLA, PETG, TPU, PC, ASA, ABS, and Fiber Reinforced.
- Post-processing Support removal and cleanup included.
- Best for Functional parts, prototypes, moulds, and jigs.
Additive · Resin
SLA (Stereolithography)
Liquid resin cured with light, layer by layer, for fine detail and smooth surfaces. Choose SLA when the part is small and intricate, or when appearance is the point: presentation models, jewellery patterns for casting, and medical models where crisp features and a clean finish matter more than raw toughness.
Capabilities
- Resins Standard, Water-washable, ABS-like, and Tough.
- Post-processing UV post-cure and IPA wash included.
- Best for Presentation models, small intricate parts, jewellery casting, and medical models.
Design · CAD
CAD Design & Modelling
Parametric modelling and engineering drawings, built in SolidWorks, NX Siemens, and Fusion 360. Start from a sketch, a photo, rough dimensions, or a description and we turn it into a manufacturable model with a design-for-manufacture review included. Choose CAD when the part doesn't exist as a file yet, or when an existing model needs cleaning up for production.
Capabilities
- Tools SolidWorks, NX Siemens, and Fusion 360.
- You receive Native CAD, STEP/IGES/STL/DXF/OBJ exports, engineering drawings, and a DFM review.
- Input accepted Sketches, photos, dimensions, or a description.
Subtractive · CNC & EDM
CNC Machining & EDM
Material removed from solid stock for prototypes in metals and engineering plastics, at tighter tolerances than additive can reach. Your CAD is reviewed for machinability before production, and CNC pairs well with printing in hybrid FDM + CNC workflows. For the tightest work we use EDM (electrical discharge machining), which shapes conductive metals with controlled electrical sparks instead of a cutting tool. With no cutting force on the part, EDM holds tolerances down to ±0.001 mm† and cuts hardened metals and fine features a cutter can't reach. Because results depend heavily on geometry and material, get in touch and we'll advise on the specifics.
Capabilities
- Production Machined by our international machining partner, with the job managed by us from brief to delivery.
- Materials Metals and engineering plastics.
- Workflow DFM review of your CAD before production; hybrid FDM + CNC available.
- EDM Electrical discharge machining for conductive metals, including hardened metals, at tolerances down to ±0.001 mm.
- Best for Tighter tolerances than additive, with EDM for the tightest. Contact us for specific geometry and material.
† Achievable tolerance; varies with geometry, material, and part size. CNC and EDM figures are verified on a coordinate-measuring machine (CMM).
