Film props and set pieces
Oversized props, scenic forms, set elements, textured objects and paint-ready forms for art departments and production teams.
KUKA robotic milling, foam forms and polymer spray finishing.
Large-format robotic fabrication from Canberra for film props, scenic builds, sculptural installations, prototypes, oversized signage features and custom display work across Australia.
Canberra capability
Turn CAD files, reference images and foam blocks into finished physical forms.
MM Design can take a digital model or rough design direction through toolpath planning, robotic foam milling, hard coating, polymer spray finishing, sanding and paint-ready preparation.
This is suited to jobs where hand-building would be slow, inconsistent or too difficult to scale, including film set elements, large props, sculptures, display pieces, product models and prototype forms.
Best suited for
Large custom forms with a practical build path.
Sculptural installations
Large shapes, installation features, public-facing objects and dimensional forms that need a clean repeatable process.
Product and prototype models
Scaled or oversized models, proof-of-concept forms, display prototypes and physical mock-ups.
Signage and display features
Dimensional signage elements, brand objects, display pieces and custom shapes for commercial or event environments.
Mould and pattern work
Foam patterns, master forms and shapes that can support moulding, coating or further fabrication stages.
Paint-ready scenic forms
Hard-coated and prepared surfaces ready for scenic paint, finishing, install or further production work.
Materials and process
From digital model to usable object.
Foam milling
Large-format foam cutting and milling from supplied CAD, developed models or approved design direction.
KUKA robotic fabrication
Robotic toolpaths for repeatable sculptural, scenic and prototype forms that need size and consistency.
Hard-coated foam
Foam forms prepared with protective coating for handling, finishing, transport and practical use.
Polymer spray finishing
Spray-applied finishing systems for tougher surfaces and cleaner paint-ready preparation.
Sanding and preparation
Filling, sanding, surface preparation and coordination with paint or scenic finishing requirements.
Install thinking
Planning around handling, joining, transport, site access, installation and how the final object will be used.
What to send us
The faster we understand the use case, the faster we can price it properly.
You do not need a perfect file to start. A rough sketch, reference image, dimensions and a deadline is usually enough to begin the conversation.
Size and scale
Overall dimensions, whether it is full-size, scaled, oversized or modular.
Use and finish
Indoor, outdoor, on-set, display, touchable, paint-ready or final finished surface.
Files or references
CAD, STL, OBJ, drawings, sketches, photos or visual references.
Deadline and delivery
When it is needed, where it is going and whether install or transport support is required.
Why MMD
Design, machine process, coating and finishing in one workflow.
The benefit is not just access to a robot. The value is having the design thinking, workshop judgement, coating knowledge and install planning in the same place.
That means the object is planned around how it will be made, handled, finished and used, instead of being treated as a file-only machining job.
Start a robotic fabrication job
Send the model, reference image or rough idea.
Useful details include size, finish, deadline, whether it needs to be handled on set, and whether it is for indoor, outdoor, display or filming use.
