3D Printing Services for Meerlieu

With 3D Printing we can provide rapid prototyping or final solutions for you ideas, or products. 3D Printing is the future of product development for all plastic shapes, which can be assembled together to more complex (possible moving) prototype or product. To learn more about 3D Printing please see Wikipedia.

To get more information and pricing, please email us your 3D computer model. We accept most file types, however we would prefer a STL (.stl), OBJ (.obj), STEP (.stp) or IGES (.igs).

To 3D print an object, a 3D computer model is required. You have three options:

1. Email us your 3D computer model - we accept most file types, however we would prefer a STL (.stl), OBJ (.obj), STEP (.stp) or IGES (.igs).
2. Ask us to create your 3D computer model.
3. 3D scanning and post-processing.

Our capacity: 1x SLA 3D printer and 3x FDM 3D printers.

Our printing prices are based on three factors:

1. Man-hours: Includes print setup, part removal, support material removal, hand finishing where required, assembly if required, and in some large part cases gluing or plastic welding. This is done at our typical mechanical engineers hourly rate.
2. Machine-hours: Rate based on type of machine (e.g. SLA or FDM). This is a low hourly rate.
3. Materials: The cost of the filament or resin used for the print. The material includes the actual part and the support material. Generally a negligible cost.

Our minimum order is $180 + GST, mostly due to the labour involved for support material removal and hand finishing if/where required.

Are you looking for a one-off part to replace something that is broken, or no longer on the market? Unfortunately, we are confident that in most cases 3D Printing services is not financially feasible.

Generally 3D Printing is used for new product development prototyping. And therefore is a cheaper alternative to production methods such as plastic injection moulding, blow moulding, etc.
