3D Computer Modelling, CAD Modelling: Box and Dice
We are proud to offer Computer Aided Design (CAD) services utilising the latest in parametric 3D modeling software. We work off anything from a napkin sketch to a well gesticulated description with facial expressions to create a 3D CAD representation of what it is you would like to build. This 3D CAD model will be [...]
CNC Machining
Our main in-house service is CNC machining. This includes CNC milling, CNC routing and CNC lathing. CNC milling is good for medium sized objects where a 3D file can be supplied (otherwise you may need our 3D CAD modelling service). CNC routing is best suited to large scale projects and our machine can handle profiles [...]
Silicone & Plastic Moulding
One of our main services is silicone moulding and cold casting or vacuum casting. We work with 2 main types of materials – silicone and polyurethane. Both of these come in a range of hardnesses and can be pigmented with a select pallette of colours. We use rigid moulds when pouring silicone parts and silicone [...]
Rapid Protoyping
Rapid prototyping of the SLA or SLS variety takes your 3D data and, using laser technology, builds up the object layer by layer until the final piece is complete. The beauty of this process is in its disregard for conventional inconveniences such as undercuts or hollow forms. Continual advances in rapid prototyping technology are resulting [...]
Spray Finishing
Almost all projects require finishing of some sort, whether CNC machined, moulded or 3D printed. We have a number of skilled spray technicians to accommodate for the many projects and primarily use acrylic, thinner-based paints. When a more durable finish is required we use 2pac polyurethane paints (similar to what is used in automotive work-shops). [...]
Metal Work
Our fully equipped workshop with lathes, mills and drill presses, among other things, allows our experienced toolmakers to manually machine metal and plastic componentrys. Existing parts can be modified or entire parts can be manufactured. Requirements: 2D fully dimensioned, technical drawings.
Patternmaking
Traditional patternmaking techniques are combined with CNC and other processes at our workshop in order to fabricate parts and patterns that require a degree of accuracy combined with sculptural elements. Objects are created and modified using a combination of by-hand and machine-based processes which our experienced patternmakers combine with careful attention to aesthetic and functional [...]
Vacuum Forming
Vacuum forming is a process that takes a pattern, whether hand-made or CNC machined, and creates a thin plastic skin in its likeness. The acrylic, PVC or other plastic is fixed in a frame and heated in our oven until it becomes soft enough to drape over the pattern. A vacuum is applied which sucks [...]
Laser & Waterjet Cutting
Laser and waterjet cutting is a process that takes your 2D line drawing (in dwg, dxf, eps or pdf format) and cuts the profile into materials such as acrylic, Aluminium or steel of various thicknesses. When designing for laser or waterjet cutting keep in mind that cost is highly dependent on the number of perforations [...]
