About AU3D Printing

Our story

AU3D started from a simple idea: 3D printing should feel like shopping, not engineering. Most people don't own a printer or a CAD licence, but they know what they want on their desk, under their tree or in their kid's hands. So we built a studio that designs, prints and finishes those things in Sydney, sells them at one honest price, and takes custom jobs from a file, a photo or a sketch.

We're based in Waterloo, ten minutes from the CBD, and we ship everywhere in Australia. We speak English and 中文.

What we make

• Ready-to-buy products: gifts, toys, lamps, organisers and decor, every item A$39.90.
• Custom printing: your STL/3MF/STEP files, photos turned into models, replacement parts and prototypes.
• Small batches: event merch, retail displays and runs of tens to hundreds.
• Accessories: filament, spares and upgrades we use ourselves.

3D printing, in one minute

A 3D printer builds an object layer by layer from a digital model. We mostly use FDM printers, which melt plastic filament such as PLA, PETG or TPU through a fine nozzle, and multi-colour systems that switch filament mid-print. Each layer is about a fifth of a millimetre thick, so a 10 cm object has around 500 layers. Read more in our wiki.

Our case & asset library

Every piece we make is photographed and recorded in the AU3D asset library, our internal catalogue of products and case studies. Each entry is tagged across ten dimensions: product type, who it's for, use, festival, colour, size, theme, scene, function and character. That's what powers the filters in our shop and the category pages for every age, occasion and room.

Collector figures and portrait pieces that include other people's characters or likenesses are shown in our work as examples of print quality only. They're never sold.

Content, every day

Most 3D printing websites are an upload form and a price. We also publish: a growing 3D printing wiki, daily trend posts tied to Sydney events and seasons, and pages for every area we deliver to. If you're deciding what to print, what material to use or what it should cost, you should be able to find a straight answer here first.
