3D Printing / Design to order

No 3D model yet? Start with the idea.

Bring us the problem, a sketch, a broken part, some dimensions or a reference photo. We can turn the brief into a printable model, confirm it with you, then prototype or produce the finished parts on our Melbourne print bench.

Start a design brief I already have a model

A useful brief is wonderfully ordinary

A photo, a rough sketch and a few measurements are enough to start.

We do not expect a perfect CAD drawing. Show us the existing part, where it goes and what is frustrating about it. Reference images, hand sketches and PDFs can be attached directly to your brief.

Design, prototype, produce

A practical path from rough brief to repeatable part

1. Tell us what you need

Send a sketch, measurements, photos, reference links, the intended use and anything the part must fit around. A rough brief is fine—we will ask the useful questions.

2. We scope and design it

We confirm the deliverables, design fee, print estimate and expected timing before work starts. Then we build a printable model around the agreed brief.

3. You review the model

We share the important dimensions and design details for approval. If a prototype makes sense, we print one first so fit and function can be checked in the real world.

4. We print the part or batch

Once approved, we produce the quantity you need, complete a practical quality check and keep the agreed design ready for straightforward repeat orders.

Good fits for the service

Brackets, mounts, spacers and adapters
Project boxes, enclosures and cable guides
Workshop jigs, templates and organisers
Non-safety-critical replacement parts
Product prototypes and fit-check models
Small batches for clubs, teams or businesses

What to include in your brief

What the part needs to do
Key dimensions and what it must fit
Photos, sketches or reference products
Where it will be used—indoors, outdoors, near heat or under load
Preferred colour, finish and approximate quantity
Your ideal deadline and any fixed constraints

Start the conversation

Tell us what you are trying to make

Send the full context in one place—description, dimensions and up to five private photos, sketches or PDFs. We will review it within one business day and let you know the sensible next step.

Custom design is quoted separately from printing. Unless expressly agreed, this is a design-for-printing service—not engineering certification or approval for safety-critical use.
