3d Printing
Currently we have 3D printing services using PLA and ABS plastic. the biggest single job we can do is 330x330x400mm, larger jobs are printed in parts and then joined together with glue or a plastic welding system. we have a Range of colors and can produce the prints finished and sanded or raw right from the printer.
Pricing
PLA one color 140x140x140mm $44
ABS one color 140x140x140mm $55
Add $10 for two color
PLA 450x450x450mm $66
ABS 450x450x450mm $77
Resin 100x100x100mm $88
if you want us to design something for you we charge $220 AUD +GST
Finishing dependents on the finish and quality you needs so please contact us for a quote

About the types of plastics we use
is different than most thermoplastic polymers in that it is derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugar cane. Polylactic Acid is biodegradable and has characteristics similar to polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or polystyrene (PS).
There are a vast array of applications for Polylactic Acid. Some of the most common uses include plastic films, bottles, and biodegradable medical devices (e.g. screws, pins, rods, and plates that are expected to biodegrade within 6-12 months). its low glass transition temperature makes many types of PLA (for example, plastic cups) unsuitable to hold hot liquid. it provides higher detail than other plastics in the 3D printing process and is often used in our props or castings, it dose require additional support for large parts the life of PLA parts can be extended by testing the plastic with a protective surface at production. our testing of our prints so far has resulted in part have have lasted 2 years and are still showing no sign of falling apart
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
is an opaque thermoplastic and amorphous polymer. “Thermoplastic”. ABS has a strong resistance to corrosive chemicals and/or physical impacts. It is very easy to machine and has a low melting temperature making it particularly simple to use in injection molding manufacturing processes or 3D printing on an FDM machine. ABS is also relatively inexpensive. ABS plastic is not typically used in high heat situations due to its low melting point.
Multi part Prints
Example of a 1.6m long print job printed in a number of parts
same job now plastic welded together ready for sanding and finishing
UV Resin
Resin 3D printing is known for its great ability to achieve very nice, highly detailed parts, all thanks to a technology called vat polymerization, which is more complex than fused deposition modeling (FDM), the most common (and least expensive) 3D printer technology.
Vat polymerization utilizes a photopolymer in the form of a viscous fluid, resin, and a light source to cure the resin and therefore build the desired parts.
CNC (Coming Soon)
We are currently doing last testing on our CNC. we will be able to make items out of wood, Plastic, aluminum and others soon, unlike the 3d printer this is a method of production that removes material rather than add it in the case of 3D printing, it produces stronger parts at the cost of detail. the sizes we will be able to do will be the same as Our 3D printer. more to come soon.
Laser Cuter (coming soon)
We are currently doing last testing on our Laser Cuter. we will be able to make items out of wood, Plastic up to 3mm, leather and others soon, sizes we will be able to do are 30cm w 40cm D. more to come soon.
