Helping inventors, startups and small businesses turn ideas into working prototypes.

CAD Design • 3D Printing • Electronics • Rapid Prototyping

Based in Hamilton, New Zealand, PlutoWorks helps turn ideas into working products through CAD design, rapid prototyping, 3D printing, electronics integration and reverse engineering. Whether you have a rough sketch, a broken part, or just an idea in your head, we can help turn it into something real.

What We Do

From replacement parts and workshop fittings to models, mounts, enclosures, and creative one-off builds.

3D Printing & Prototyping

From functional test parts to finished prototypes, we produce accurate 3D prints for fit checks, design testing, small batches, and product development.

Scanning & Reverse Engineering

We capture real-world objects with 3D scanning and turn them into digital models for part replication, modification, repair, or redesign.

Desktop CNC Machining

Small-format CNC machining for prototype parts, panels, brackets, templates, engravings, and light-duty components in suitable materials.

From rough sketches to accurate CAD models, we design parts, enclosures, mechanisms, and product concepts ready for prototyping.

3D Modelling

Various electronic components and circuit boards, including a Raspberry Pi, motor, battery, GPS module, camera, and sensors, arranged on a surface.

We integrate motors, sensors, cameras, microcontrollers, and small computers into working prototypes, robotics projects, and practical automated systems.

Electronics & Robotics

What We Can Make

From practical replacement parts to creative display pieces, PlutoWorks helps design, make, finish, and refine custom physical projects.
