WHAT WE MAKE
Built around the outcome.
Start with what you need to achieve. We will work out how to make it.
Low-volume production
Produce repeat parts and bridge production runs with the freedom to revise designs between batches.

Custom projects
Combine design, printing, finishing and fabrication for projects that do not fit a standard category.
Discuss a project ↗WHY WORK WITH US
More capability.
Less friction.
One Melbourne team can take a project from an early idea through process selection, production, finishing and delivery.
Start without tooling
Test a design, make a one-off part or begin a short run without committing to moulds.
Choose for the application
We compare strength, detail, finish, scale, quantity and budget.
Iterate with less friction
Update the file between versions and validate the part in the real world.
Go beyond the raw print
Bring design, printing, assembly and finishing together.

HOW IT WORKS
From first file.
To finished part.
You do not need a perfect brief. Start with a CAD file, drawing, sample part, reference image or rough idea.
Share the idea
Send a CAD file, drawing, reference image or straightforward brief.
Choose the process
We assess geometry, size, quantity, finish, timing and budget.
Make it
Your parts are printed in Melbourne, cleaned, finished and checked.
