Our engineers, developers and designers have been doing 3D CAD Design, Modelling and Animation Services for Duffy 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 Duffy 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 Duffy 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 Duffy 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 Duffy 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! Duffy 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 Duffy 3D CAD design.
Our experience with Duffy 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. Duffy 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 Duffy 3D Animation for industrial design inspiration.
At COLETEK, we empower businesses in Duffy, Weston Creek, and across the Australian Capital Territory with comprehensive 3D CAD design, modelling, and animation services. Our team of experienced engineers and designers collaborate with clients from diverse industries to translate their visions into tangible products and experiences.
We understand the importance of iterative design and meticulous attention to detail. Our process starts with thorough requirements capture and engineering trade-offs, ensuring we capture your unique needs and deliver impactful results. We seamlessly navigate through prototyping, iteration, integration, testing, and production-readiness planning, ensuring your vision comes to life efficiently and effectively.
Whether you require assistance with product development, engineering consultations, or animation for marketing materials, COLETEK is your trusted partner. We leverage advanced software tools and maintain an in-house prototyping lab equipped with electronics and mechanical development tools. This enables us to deliver tangible results quickly and efficiently.
Our team has collaborated on projects associated with leading institutions like ANU, CSIRO, NICTA/Data61, Seeing Machines, and Hemisphere GPS/BEELINE. With over 150 product development and R&D projects completed across hardware and software, we have the expertise to navigate complex technical challenges and deliver exceptional outcomes.
We embrace remote collaboration and support clients across regional and metropolitan areas. Our commitment to transparency and open communication ensures a seamless and enjoyable experience throughout the process.

Delivered excellence on time, great work and great team, thanks!
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!
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.
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.
