The 5 Best 3D Printing Services in Adelaide

3D Printing Solutions is the go-to choice for many in Australia. Included in their list of regular clients are businesses, government offices, and educational institutions. 

We must note that they’re mainly a printing needs supplier, not a printer themselves. If you’re considering getting a 3D printer of your own, then they’re a good choice.

What makes them stand out is the high quality of the brands that they offer. This includes Polymaker, Overture, and Vaquform.

Their catalog is complete, as they sell resins, filaments, printers, and more. Furthermore, they have a user-friendly website for browsing these.

Their staff explains their products well, which is why first-timers won’t have difficulties shopping here. They are not pushy and are transparent with their fees too. 

Making them more convenient is the fact that they can deliver to all of Australia. They even provide free deliveries for orders past $150. 

An obvious downside we’ve seen is that they do not create the 3D models themselves. For creating actual objects, you will need to contact other shops.

Aside from this, the prices of their products are expensive. 

MakerSpace is a facility filled with advanced equipment for 3D printing, woodworking, welding, and more. It aims to be the place for creative individuals who want accessible equipment. 

Priced at $20 per day, you can meet many creative minds in the area who you can collaborate with. The dynamic atmosphere inside the place allows for more inspiration for your work. 

They have updated equipment for 3D printing, including Zortrax, Elegoo Mars 2, and Up Box+. You can also use tools for resin curing and washing. 

They implement a “circular economy,” which promotes recycling and waste reduction. They’ve partnered with the Government of South Australia and with Rawtec for this.

Finally, the place is always kept clean and well-maintained. 

With all of this, they are highly recommended for those who want easy access to 3D printing equipment that is too expensive to buy on your own.

Unforunately, a downside with them is that the rates can be pricey if you want to regularly visit the area.

Aside from this, they will not create the 3D prints for you but rather only provide a space for this. You will need someone with knowledge of using the technology to create outputs.

3D Prototypes and Model is led by Daniel Brown who has great experience in 3D printing and laser cutting. The shop was established with the goal of providing affordable 3D print services.

This is why they are regularly hired by many engineers, inventors, and architects who are on a budget. They are capable of doing everything in a single day, which speaks of the skill of their team. 

We like how accommodating they are when providing consultations. They make sure to specify the best sizes, finishes, and colors. 

In addition, they are transparent about the pricing of their services. It’s flexible depending on the complexity of the work and the materials needed. 

Lastly, they can handle projects from conceptualization to mass manufacturing. It’s a one-stop shop for all your 3D printing needs.

That said, a downside with them is that their schedules are usually completely booked because they only have a small team. 

Aside from this, a minor downside we’ve seen is that their website is a bit disorganized and outdated in design. This can be off-putting for first-time clients. 

3D Printworx is a great choice because they sell 3D printing products and also create designs for you.

They have one of the best designing teams we reviewed. They can greatly improve the design of your stereolithography designs. 

With expertise in using Prusa printers, their portfolio has many eye-catching products. They’re consistently polished and flexible in terms of design. 

Aside from this, they have good variety in terms of the products that they sell. It’s especially seen with how they sell different types of filaments, such as PETG, PLA, and TPU.

Their brands are high-quality and known in the industry. These include Prusa, BondTech, eSUN, and Slice Engineering.

If there’s anything we didn’t like, it’s that they take some time to finish 3D printing projects. This can be a dealbreaker for those with tight deadlines. 

Aside from this, many of their products are regularly out of stock. 

FuseTec specializes in 3D printing for medical needs. They are a great choice for creating models of organs, joints, and bones. 

It’s notable for having great accuracy in terms of detail, with reproduction reaching up to 20 micrometers of specificity. 

The outputs they make have haptic feedback features, multiple realistic colors, and many choices for materials. Through these, a more realistic copy is produced. 

Making it even more recommendable is the fact that their works undergo review from medical specialists. It’s why their products are used for medical education.

Finally, they accept 3D printing works for various industries, such as corporate, education, and aerospace.

Unfortunately, a downside with them is that they do not accept offers for small-scale projects, such as for cosplay. 

Aside from this, their rates are expensive given the extensive process they have for creating their products.
