Our engineers, developers and designers have been doing 3D CAD Design, Modelling and Animation Services for Nicholls and 3D modelling since early 2000's. We have much experience with mechanical design and electro-mechanical design. To design and develop a 3D model, we use either 3D CAD Design, Modelling and Animation Services for Nicholls software, or 3D animation software, or both. For real parts we optimise for prototyping and production - aka design for manufacture (DFM). Our concept computer renders, product visualisations and 3D animations are creative and talented.
Our experience with Nicholls 3D CAD computer modeling software covers PythonCAD, FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, OnShape, SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and Creo (aka Pro/E). With this software we can design static and dynamic models, that can be used for stress testing, better known as Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The models we create can also be used in 3D animation software (discussed next) to allow rendering of the Nicholls 3D CAD computer models for life-like images and animated videos, generally for marketing the concept design, product visualisation or promotional material. We have much experience with electronics, enclosures and electro-mechancial designs also, which is typically done in concert with Nicholls 3D CAD computer modeling. When it comes time to prototyping, we can 3D print in FDM, SLS or FDM with various materials including rubber and metal! Nicholls 3D CAD computer modeling use to be done via 2D drawings first, but those days gone! Feel free to contact us for more information about Nicholls 3D CAD design.
Our experience with Nicholls 3D animation modeling software covers Meshlab, Blender, Studio Max and Cinema 4D. For videos we might also use Adobe After Effects for post-processing. With this software we can design models that CAD software has great difficult with, for example the human body. Nicholls 3D animation software also allows rendering of the 3D computer models for life-like images and animated videos, that can be used for marketing the concept design, product visualisation and promotional material. For save development costs for animated videos or computer renders, we might also use 3rd party computer models from TurboSquid as-is or hack to our needs. In some cases, we also start with Nicholls 3D Animation for industrial design inspiration.

Delivered excellence on time, great work and great team, thanks!
Skykraft is a Canberra based company designing and developing spacecraft for the delivery of global space-based services. Luke and the team have been very responsive with quotes and delivery of machined parts for our company. Looking forward to working with COLETEK on our space programmes.
We've worked with Luke and the team on and off for the past two years. We've found them very accessible and extremely thorough in their dealings. Their documentation is second to none and we’d have no hesitation recommending them on this basis alone.
COLETEK have been absolutely fantastic in their support and manufacture of various components for us. Our designs are always bespoke, intricate and low volume and it’s great to have an Australian company like COLETEK as a trusted and quality manufacturer for our spacecraft mechanical components and assemblies – which have been flight proven through successful mission operations. Keep up the great work!
