CNC Solutions for Manufacturing & Prototyping

We provide CNC machining services in Melbourne that support businesses from R&D to full production.

CHallenge 1
Long Lead Times in Development
Traditional manufacturing often causes delays in design validation, slowing down innovation and product launches.
solution
Rapid Prototyping
Our 24-hour prototyping service enables clients to test and refine designs more quickly, thereby reducing their time-to-market.
CHallenge 2
Costly Design Flaws
Without early testing, errors in design can lead to expensive tooling changes and wasted resources later in production.
solution
Early CNC Testing
By producing CNC prototypes, design flaws are identified early, preventing expensive tooling changes later.
CHallenge 3
Scaling from Prototype to Production
Moving from prototypes to full production can be difficult to manage, requiring consistent quality and efficient scaling.
solution
Flexible CNC Manufacturing
Whether you need a single prototype or high-volume CNC machining, we provide scalable manufacturing tailored to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of prototypes can you produce?

We provide CNC machining services for a wide range of prototypes, including functional models, precision components, and small assemblies. Our team supports industries from medical and defence to automotive and electronics with parts that accurately reflect final production quality.

How quickly can prototypes be delivered?

With our rapid prototyping service, urgent parts can be manufactured in as little as 24 hours, depending on complexity and material availability. This helps clients accelerate design validation and reduce development delays.

Do you offer both small-batch and high-volume production?

Yes. We support small-batch manufacturing for testing and pilot runs, as well as high-volume machining for large-scale production. This flexibility allows a smooth transition from R&D to full production.

How do you help reduce design flaws?

By using CNC rapid prototyping and early CNC testing, design issues can be identified and corrected before investing in costly tooling or committing to mass production. This saves time and reduces development costs.

What materials can prototypes and small-batch parts be made from?

We machine components in aluminium, stainless steel, titanium, brass, copper, and engineering plastics such as PEEK, ABS, and Nylon. This material flexibility ensures prototypes and production runs perform like final-use parts.

Do you provide finishing and testing for prototypes?

Yes. We offer finishing processes such as anodising, powder coating, polishing, and bead blasting. All parts undergo Australian-based quality control to ensure accuracy, reliability, and readiness for use.

Still have questions?

If you have any questions about our services, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always happy to help!
