3D modelling services in Melbourne
From a 2D sketch to a photorealistic 3D model, we make your ideas come to life — and every model leaves with the drawings and CAD files behind it.
3D modelling lets you show a product to prospective customers before it exists. You can light it, photograph it from any angle, put it on a website or in a catalogue, and change the colour without reprinting anything. Prototyping is costly and time consuming; modelling first cuts down on both.
Typical project $500 – $1,500 · quoted on complexity
What’s included
Photorealistic renders
Studio-lit images of your product from any angle, ready for your website, catalogue, packaging or investor pitch.
Fully detailed 2D drawings
Dimensioned technical drawings you can hand to a manufacturer, a machinist or a quoting engineer.
The CAD files
The source model itself, so you are never locked out of your own product. Modelled in SolidWorks and supplied as native .sldprt parts, with .stl on request. Delivered as a download once payment clears.
How a project runs
Your idea
An idea or a sketch of what you have in mind is enough to start.
Technical data
We gather required dimensions, materials and textures.
Feedback
You’re kept informed as the project evolves.
Approval
You approve a preliminary model and the drawings before anything is final.
3D modelling questions
Can you model from a hand-drawn sketch?
Yes. Every model starts with an idea or sketch of what our clients have in mind. Once we understand what you want, we gather the technical data — required dimensions, materials and textures.
Do I get the CAD files, or just the images?
You get both. All our models include a fully detailed 2D drawing along with its CAD files — native SolidWorks .sldprt parts as standard, and .stl if you ask for it.
Can the model be viewed in 3D on my own website?
Yes — the model can be published as an interactive viewer your customers rotate 360° in the browser, with no plugin or download. See an example.
How long does a model take?
Anywhere from one day to a couple of weeks or more, depending entirely on complexity. A single straightforward part is quick. Something with many parts, or a full assembly, takes longer. You get a realistic timeframe with your quote.
How much does it cost?
Every project is quoted individually because price follows complexity, but a typical modelling project runs between $500 and $1,500. Send a sketch, a photo or a description and we’ll come back with a price in less than 24 hours.
