CAD design / reverse engineering / small-batch 3D printing
I design in CAD and print in a range of plastics depending on the application. Based in Nelson, but happy to work on projects nationwide — parts ship anywhere, or if you'd rather print it yourself, I'll just supply the design file. Copy or reverse-engineer a part that's failed, or model something new from scratch — one-offs and small runs.
Bring me the broken original — I'll measure it up, model it in CAD and print a replacement, adjusted for the failure if the old one needed it.
Sketch, description or rough dimensions in, a proper CAD model out — including complex surfaces, not just boxes and brackets.
PLA, PETG, ASA and PLA-CF on a 256 × 256 × 256 mm build volume, shipped nationwide — or if you'd rather print it yourself, I'll supply a print-ready design file instead.
Send photos and dimensions, or the original part itself. Define its intended use and environment.
The component is modelled in CAD — a new design, or a copy or modification of an existing part.
A trial print checks fit before committing, particularly for anything threaded, load-bearing or tight-tolerance.
Final material and finish, delivered in a day to two weeks depending on queue and complexity.
