Fabrication & Manufacturing

In-house 3D printing, CNC machining, and carbon-fibre milling — engineered, prototyped, and produced under one roof.

Australian fabrication and manufacturing from our Scenic Rim facility. 3D printing for rapid prototypes and end-use parts, CNC machining for precision metal and engineering plastics, and CNC milling of carbon-fibre composites for lightweight structural parts.

In-house fabrication and manufacturing for engineering teams, drone operators, makers, and businesses across Australia. We use our printers, CNC machines, and carbon-fibre mill every day producing components for our own aerial robotic products — and we extend that capability to you.

Whether you need a 3D-printed prototype in PETG by Thursday, a run of CNC aluminium brackets to a tight tolerance, or carbon-fibre plates milled to a CAD profile, the workflow is the same: send the file, we review it, you get a quote, we make the part. Made in the Scenic Rim, supplied direct.

What we make

3D printing. Additive manufacturing in engineering plastics by fused deposition modelling. Ideal for one-off prototypes, jigs and fixtures, low-volume end-use parts, and complex geometries that would be uneconomic to machine.

CNC machining. Subtractive precision milling in metals and engineering plastics. Ideal for tolerance-critical parts, structural components, and small-batch production where surface finish and dimensional accuracy matter.

Carbon-fibre milling. CNC milling of carbon-fibre sheet and plate for lightweight structural parts — airframe plates, arms, and panels. Same workflow as the metal side: send the DXF or STEP, we cut to profile and finish the edges.

We’ll recommend the right process for your part during the quote — and where it helps, combine them, for example machined mounting features on a printed housing, or alloy hardware bonded into milled carbon-fibre.

Why us

What you get.

Engineering-led

We run these machines every day producing parts for our own products. The same engineering eye reviews your job.

Three capabilities, one supplier

Additive 3D printing, subtractive CNC machining, and carbon-fibre milling under one roof — pick the right process for the part without juggling vendors.

Wide material range

Engineering plastics — PLA, PETG, ASA, Nylon, acetal, PEEK. Machined metals — aluminium and brass on request. Composites — carbon-fibre sheet and plate.

Tight tolerances

Sub-0.1 mm achievable on suitable CNC geometries; dimensional inspection on critical features.

Fast turnaround

Most prototype runs complete within 48–72 hours of design sign-off.

Australian-made

Designed, printed, machined, and finished in the Scenic Rim — locally accountable, no offshore lead times.

Process

How we work.

  1. 01

    Send your design

    STL, STEP, IGES, DXF, or CAD-native files. Drawings appreciated for tolerance-critical CNC features. DFM assistance available if you're still iterating.

  2. 02

    DFM review & quote

    We recommend the right process — print, machine, or mill — confirm manufacturability, suggest adjustments where helpful, and quote turnaround plus price within one business day.

  3. 03

    Produce & finish

    Print, machine, or mill, then post-process — support removal, smoothing, deburring, edge sealing — and quality-check before despatch.

  4. 04

    Despatch

    Pickup from our Scenic Rim facility or shipped Australia-wide.
