Our Services
At Finework, modern technology meets the soul of traditional craftsmanship. We transform ideas into beautifully crafted architectural models, blending precision, creativity, and care. From DA and competition models to marketing and exhibition pieces, we shape stories in miniature. Our studio also brings objects to life through digital fabrication, laser cutting, engraving, and 3D printing — turning imagination into something you can hold, helping artists and designers transform their concepts into refined physical pieces.
Our work supports architects across competition and planning models, DA models, sales and marketing models, and exhibition displays. For artists and designers, we produce custom objects using advanced fabrication tools including laser cutting, 3D printing, and CNC milling.
We continually push the boundaries of traditional craftsmanship by embracing innovative technology, new fabrication methods, and emerging materials. Combined with a strong creative sensitivity, this approach allows us to deliver projects with exceptional precision, clarity, and imagination.
Model Making & Object Fabrication
Because every project is unique, we work closely with your design specifications. To help us understand your vision and provide an accurate assessment, please supply scale drawings or digital assets, including:
Once received, our team will review the details to discuss your project further.
3D Printing
We offer high‑quality, in‑house 3D printing with crisp detail and exceptional accuracy. Our durable prints are ideal for functional prototypes, complex forms, and high‑fidelity architectural components.
We ship reliably across Australia and New Zealand, with fast turnaround and priority courier delivery.

Drawing Tips
- Keep the drawings as clean and simple as possible. Use the template provided.
- Remember that curves take longer (and therefore cost more) than straight lines.
- Allow a margin around the border of the material of at least 5mm. Table size is 810mm x 450mm, and cuttable area is 800mm x 440mm.
- Make sure there are no duplicate lines, as these will add to cutting time and cost, and may cause burning.
- Make sure to save all your text as curves or objects so that your drawing isn't affected if we don't have the font you were using.
- If supplying your own material, include at least one spare piece of material, in case of drawing or cutting errors. Remember to label the material to be used.
- Allow for slight variations in material thickness, especially if your pieces need to fit tightly together. Call to discuss this if unsure, but don’t aim for a press-fit.
- Some material will be lost on the laser-cut line itself, especially in thicker materials. This can vary from 0.1 to 0.5mm depending on the thickness of material used.
- There is almost always a slight taper to the cut, due to more laser power at the entry point (top surface) of any material. This is more apparent in thicker material.
- For best results work from our template drawing or at least include one labelled box 810mm x 450mm in orange on your drawing.
Linework and colour
Thickness - All lines should given the minimum setting for your program.
Cut lines - Any line that you wish to cut all the way through the material should be drawn in the cut layer or blue colour.
Score lines - Lines that you want to simply score or engraved onto the surface of your material should be drawn in the vector layer. Note there is a light engraving or deeper engraving.
Rastering - Areas to be engraved as a block fill onto the surface of your material should be on the raster layer or have a red colour and fill.
instructions - should be in orange colour and will be ignored by the laser.
