Our engineers, developers and designers have been doing 3D CAD Design, Modelling and Animation Services for Buxton 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 Buxton 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 Buxton 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 Buxton 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 Buxton 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! Buxton 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 Buxton 3D CAD design.
Our experience with Buxton 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. Buxton 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 Buxton 3D Animation for industrial design inspiration.
At COLETEK, we empower businesses in Buxton, Shepparton & Central North, Victoria, Australia, to harness the power of advanced 3D CAD design, modelling, and animation.

This is a sample of public feedback from a broader range of client work.
COLETEK proved to be the perfect choice to help us kick our project off. Their analysis of the problem we presented with them with, and their suggestions for the most efficient and effective way to achieve a solution prevented us wasting time and money heading down the wrong path. I'd recommend COLETEK without any reservations.
Working with Luke has been a standout experience. His technical ability is second to none, and he brings a level of dedication and professionalism that makes every project genuinely enjoyable to be part of. Highly recommended.
