What is 3D Printing & Rapid Prototyping?
3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing where a part is built layer by layer using Computer-aided Design (CAD) models. Our Perth 3D printing services have evolved to a point where prototyping and batch production can be relatively low cost and suit a broad range of consumer and industrial applications.
Our Rapid Prototyping services can also ensure that a wide variety of materials including polymers and metals can be used for your prototype.

ADVANTAGES OF 3D PRINTING & RAPID PROTOTYPING
With cutting edge 3D printing equipment, Afaridan Plastics provides 3D printing services from our Perth facility.
3D printing and rapid prototyping services are ideal for production runs and inventors turning product ideas into a physical object. 3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping allows for:
-
Complex geometries.
-
Rapid production of industrial components - have your design created in hours, not weeks.
-
Realising your design - have proof of concept for your part or assembly.
-
Affordable one-off or batch prints that would cost far more using traditional methods.
-
Material choices to suit your needs - whether your part needs flex, strength or bright colours.
-
Fast solutions for hard to source replacement parts.
3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping reduces the lead time (the time between starting and completing production) compared to traditional manufacturing methods through a lean process of design and printing before the part is completed.
Utilising a wide range of production methods, almost anything can be created - from biodegradable models to conductive plastic components.
OUR 3D PRINTING PROCESSES
Afaridan Plastics has the experience and knowledge of how 3D printing and rapid prototyping can be used to get your inventions and innovative designs made quickly, correctly, and ready for large scale manufacturing. We know how nozzle and bed temperatures, fan speed, support structures, part orientation and material choice can affect the quality of your product. We can refine your product by helping you choose the right 3D printing or rapid prototyping method and material - ensuring a better quality product, and a faster transition into manufacturing.
We provide end-to-end plastic manufacturing, so you know your design will translate into the most cost effective tooling.
We use the best commercial prototyping methods available, including:
-
Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)
-
Stereolithography (SLA)
-
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
-
Multijet Printing (MJP)
-
Colourjet Printing (CJP)
-
Manufactured Plastic Prototypes
-
CNC Rapid Prototyping

INDUSTRIAL 3D PRINTING - EXPANDED CAPACITY
Afaridan Plastics is constantly investing into our industrial 3D printing service. Arriving to our Perth facility soon, the brand new Fuse X1 greatly expands our in-house SLS build volume.
With this world-class equipment, our max SLS build size will be 330 × 330 × 565 mm.
Combined with the high-strength nature of SLS 3D printing, this new equipment is a large step forward for industrial, end-use, 3D printing in Western Australia.
Afaridan provides 3D printing services for engineering and industrial applications. Our Perth facility produces functional prototypes and end-use components using engineering grade polymers. Contact our team with your project details to learn how Afaridan can help with your commercial 3D printing requirements.
PERTH'S 3D PRINTING SERVICE
Among our 3D printing fleet, Afaridan boasts a range of industrial-grade machines ready to print. This gives us the ability to use Stereolithography, Selective Laser Sintering and other technologies for our 3D printing service.
In total, we have over 15 3D printers as part of our 3D printing operation. This includes a range of technologies and grades; from FDM to SLA and SLS, we have the right tools for all of your 3D printing needs.
Some of our printers include:
-
A range of SLA 3D printers for engineering, medical, and large-scale printing.
-
The full suite of Formlabs industrial SLS printers for high-strength and end-use parts.
-
Multiple FDM 3D printers for prototyping, concept development, and practical applications.
The latest technology allows us to 3D print medical-grade parts using BioMed and dental resins. Alternatively, our commercial printers give the capability to print large parts using most resins, including those for general use, engineering, product development, and more.
Using SLS technology, our printers can produce parts much faster compared to the standard printers. We print a range of industrial components and end-use consumer parts using the technology due to its strength and UV resistance.
FDM 3D printing is great for prototyping designs and printing end-use parts that don't require a particularly smooth surface finish or high-strength.

OUR SERVICE OFFERINGS
Tap into the convenience of our Afaridan's engineers producing the 3D drawings and machine files that you need. Alternatively, we can work with you to assist in designing for manufacturability.
We stock a range of 3D printing and prototyping materials, and have partners we work with regularly to source more specific polymers to suit your requirements. As your plastic component manufacturing partner, we'll guide you towards the best 3D printing or rapid prototyping methods to achieve your product goals in the shortest turnaround time.
3D printing is not limited to prototyping. Afaridan also produces repeat batches and production parts for commercial customers. SLS 3D printing is particularly suited to batch manufacturing because multiple components can be densely packed within the build chamber without support structures. When manufacturing higher quantities, our broader capabilities also allow us to determine when injection moulding or another manufacturing process becomes more economical long-term.
For metal parts, we have a broad range of multi-axis CNC machines in our Perth facilities, and offer a variety of bore sizes and bed lengths that enable us to manufacture very complex prototypes.
For reverse engineering we also offer 3D scanning services for shorter lead times and higher quality results compared to traditional methods.
