Fast, pure 3D scans—OBJ/STL as standard. Need it production-ready? We’ll supply a STEP file too.
STL / STEP ACCEPTED • NO MINIMUMS • NDA-FRIENDLY
24-hour prototypes, engineer review, Melbourne-made with AU-wide delivery.
3D scanning captures your physical part as a digital mesh (OBJ/STL). It’s great for visualisation, reference, or future-proofing an existing part so you have a record if it ever breaks. A raw scan isn’t editable CAD—it won’t have features like holes/threads/ fillets and may include minor noise or gaps
Highly reflective, black, or transparent parts may require a temporary scanning spray.
Please send items clean and dry; we ll return them in their original condition after
scanning. Note: internal cavities that aren’t in line of sight may be unscannable
without disassembly.
Just send the part (drop-off, courier, or mail in) and tell us what it’s for so we
understand the part’s role and what to prioritise.
Scan-only meshes are delivered from 48 hours for small/simple parts. Scan +
Reverse-Engineering to STEP/IGES runs from 48 hours up to 5 business days.

FDM is the quickest, most economical way to make functional production parts. We run calibrated, production-grade FDM with 24-hour express on select jobs and 3-business-day standard turns—made in Melbourne with tracked delivery.
SLA (Stereo-lithography) gives you crisp detail and nearmoulded surface quality straight off the printer—perfect for trade-show pieces, presentation models, and intricate visual prototypes that must paint or polish beautifully. From palmsize parts to centrepiece builds up to 2700 × 900 × 800 mm, we’ve got you covered. Standard turnaround is ~2 weeks; for urgent hero pieces, our in-house large-format express option is 3–5 business days (on request). Australia-wide delivery available.
SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) fuses nylon powder into dense, isotropic parts with no supports, so complex lattices, internal channels and moving assemblies print in one go. The result is a durable, matte finish ideal for functional prototypes and short-run production. Build volume up to 440 × 440 × 450 mm. Standard turnaround ~2 weeks (rush on request). Australiawide delivery available.
SLM (Selective Laser Melting) fuses metal powder into dense,
near-wrought parts with internal features you can’t machine perfect for end-use brackets, manifolds, and tooling inserts with conformal cooling. Build volume up to 1100 × 625 × 625mm. Standard turnaround ~2 weeks (rush on request). Australia-wide delivery available
Polyurethane casting in silicone moulds delivers injectionmould–like cosmetics without high tooling costs—ideal for pilot builds, product demos, and bridge production. Great for colour-matched housings, crystal-clear parts, and soft overmoulds. Standard turnaround ~2 weeks. Australia-widedelivery available.
CNC milling and turning for tight-tolerance metal and plastic parts with crisp edges, machined threads and excellent repeatability. Ideal for functional prototypes, fixtures and production runs where dimensional accuracy and surface finish matter. Standard turnaround ~2 weeks.
End-use production via 3D printing (1–200+ units), bridge production via vacuum casting (10–500), and high-volume injection moulding (500+).
Best for: 1–200+ units, fast iterations, test fits & demos.
Best for: 10–500 units, injection-moulding feel without tooling.
Best for: 500+ units, tight tolerances, repeatability.
Local pickup only available in melbourne, and next-day courier to metro areas are available. We also ship Australia-wide.
No MOQs—we’ll make one-offs or batches. Minimum order value is $55.
Click Instant Quote, upload your file, and choose material/finish. You’ll see pricing immediately; complex jobs can be manually reviewed on request.
STL, OBJ, STEP/STP, IGES/IGS, 3MF, DXF, DWG, and ZIP (up to 200 MB). If your file needs fixing, we can help.
All the majors: FDM, SLA, SLS, MJF; metals (SLM) on request. We’ll recommend the best option for strength, finish, and budget.
We prioritise tight tolerances and super-smooth finishes (especially with SLA). Tell us your critical dimensions and we’ll confirm achievable specs before printing.
Absolutely. Share how the part will be used (load, heat, UV, chemicals) and we’ll guide you—starting with cost-effective options first.
Yes. We’re NDA-friendly and handle all files securely. Only the engineering team sees your data.
