Tasmania's specialist workshop for 3D printing, 3D prototyping and reverse engineering — plus CAD design and electronics. Engineered end-to-end from our Launceston workshop to your project, anywhere in Australia.
A compact in-house team with the equipment to take you from concept to a working part — no outsourcing, no surprises.
3D printers, scanners, electronics bench and CAD workstation all under one roof.
From a sketch on a napkin to a tested working unit — single piece or short run.
Mechanical, electronic and software — one team, one accountable build.
Based in Launceston (7250). Local turnaround for Tasmania and serving clients across Australia.
Four core service areas — combined or stand-alone — wrapped in one accountable project delivery.
Tasmania's go-to workshop for FDM and resin 3D printing — from one-off prototypes to small-batch production runs in engineering-grade materials.
Got a broken, worn or discontinued part? We capture it with our 3D Revo scanner, recreate it in CAD and 3D print a working replacement — all under one roof in Launceston.
Got an idea? We turn sketches, photographs or rough CAD into a working prototype you can hold, test and iterate on — within days, not weeks.
Mechanical design, technical drawings, assemblies and full product engineering — from concept to manufacture-ready files.
PCB design and embedded systems — from schematic capture through to assembled, tested hardware.
Four steps. Clear ownership. No surprises.
We map your problem, constraints and target outcome together.
CAD, electronics and software designed and reviewed with you.
We print, build and test in-house — and iterate until it works.
Finished build, documentation, and ongoing support if you need it.
Darkstone Engineering is a Launceston-based engineering studio offering 3D printing in Launceston and across Tasmania, professional 3D prototyping, and full reverse engineering using our high-accuracy 3D Revo scanner. Whether you need a single replacement part for a discontinued machine, a working prototype for a new product idea, or a small production run of custom 3D-printed components, we deliver from our workshop in Launceston, Tasmania (postcode 7250) to clients across the state and mainland Australia.
Beyond 3D printing and reverse engineering, our in-house team also covers mechanical CAD design and engineering and custom PCB and electronics design. One accountable team, one workshop, one point of contact — from concept through to a tested, working build.
Based in Launceston (7250) — proudly serving customers in Hobart, Devonport, Burnie, George Town, Deloraine, Scottsdale, Beauty Point, Beaconsfield, Westbury, Longford, Evandale, Perth, Campbell Town, Ross, St Helens, Bicheno, the Tamar Valley, the East Coast, the North-West Coast, and right across Tasmania. Tasmania-wide shipping plus mainland Australia delivery — local Launceston pickup available by appointment.
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often from Tasmanian customers.
Darkstone Engineering is Launceston's dedicated 3D printing workshop. We're located in Launceston, Tasmania (postcode 7250) and service customers across Launceston, George Town, Deloraine, Scottsdale, Devonport, Burnie, Hobart and the rest of Tasmania. Send us a sketch, photo or CAD file and we'll quote within one business day.
Pricing depends on size, material and finish, but most small parts under 100 grams start around $25. We provide free written quotes within one business day — no obligation, no surprises.
Yes — reverse engineering is one of our specialties. Bring or post us the broken part (or send high-quality photos with measurements) and we'll capture it on our 3D Revo scanner, model it in CAD, and 3D print a working replacement. We've recreated everything from vintage car trim clips to discontinued agricultural machinery components.
No. We can work from a sketch on the back of a napkin, a photograph, a hand-drawn diagram, a sample part, or a full STEP/STL/IGES file. Whatever you have is fine — we'll do the modelling for you.
Yes. We ship Tasmania-wide and to mainland Australia. Local Launceston pickup is also available by appointment.
PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA (UV-resistant), Nylon (PA), TPU (flexible), polycarbonate, and a range of engineering resins (tough, flexible, high-temperature, castable). For specialty materials like carbon-fibre composites, just ask.
Most prototype and single-part jobs are completed within the same week. Larger production runs and complex reverse engineering projects typically take 1–3 weeks. Because we're based in Launceston, you skip the multi-day shipping delays of mainland 3D printing services.
