Every great product starts with an idea. But the real magic? That happens when vision meets precision.
At KNS Metals, we bring sketches to life using CAD/CAM technology, empowering you to model, refine, prototype, and manufacture with confidence.
With our computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, our custom sheet metal machines can rapidly cut a variety of materials with a very low margin for error, while also enabling the production of custom-made prototypes for our customers. After all, even the most highly skilled sheet metal engineers can be prone to human error. That’s why our team uses the latest technologies and innovations in automation for our custom metal fabrication operations for businesses across Melbourne.
Whether you’re building one part or planning a full-scale rollout, our CAD/CAM manufacturing services in Melbourne help bridge the gap between concept and creation.
You wouldn’t build a house without a blueprint — and the same principle applies to metalwork. CAD/CAM is the modern version of the drafting table, except smarter, faster, and far more accurate.
Together, CAD/CAM provides us with the tools to craft complex designs, test ideas virtually, and produce exact replicas, eliminating guesswork and delays.
Before a single material is cut, the success of a custom project hinges on proper design.
The use of schematics and blueprints has been superseded by powerful computer modelling. This is where your idea is transformed into a digital 2D or 3D model. Think of it as the master plan that guides every fold, cut, and weld.
We implement specialised software, such as SOLIDWORKS and AutoCAD, to create 2D and 3D prototypes that meet the highest standards in fabrication.
Along with CAD design, we utilise the latest computer-aided manufacturing software, such as MetaCAM and Metalix, which enables our machines to be programmed to understand and replicate every facet of a production design.
Using CAM software for your manufacturing project delivers a range of benefits, including:
CAM requires a high level of expertise to operate. You can trust our highly skilled and experienced team to deliver the best sheet metal products using this technology.
At KNS Metals, our team doesn’t just “plug in and play.” We collaborate closely with you to understand your needs — whether that’s a one-off component, a detailed prototype, or a full manufacturing run.
Here’s how we make it happen:
This isn’t just digital wizardry — it’s about bringing clarity and control to your entire fabrication workflow.
You could outsource CAD design to a freelancer or send your production offshore. But if you want local expertise, advanced tech, and hands-on collaboration, we’re the team you call.
Our CAD/CAM services aren’t a standalone step. They’re part of a bigger picture — one that includes everything from initial design to final assembly.
We also offer:
Need a fabrication and CAD design service that can scale with you? You’re in the right place.
When your next job depends on accuracy, don’t leave it to chance. Our Melbourne-based team is ready to take your concept, run it through our 3D CAM and CAD/CAM systems, and produce a tangible result — fast.
Whether you’re seeking 3D CAD prototype services, comprehensive CAD/CAM manufacturing, or require support from a team that lives and breathes metal fabrication, we’re here to help.

CAD/CAM stands for Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing. CAD is used to create accurate digital drawings or 3D models of a part, while CAM converts those designs into instructions for automated machinery. This combination streamlines production, reduces human error, and ensures precise, repeatable results, especially important for custom metal fabrication and prototyping.
Yes, we do. Our 3D CAD prototype services allow you to visualise and test your designs before production begins. This is especially useful for complex components or new product development, giving you the flexibility to refine designs using our CAD computer-aided design tools before manufacturing.
Using computer-aided manufacturing significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of the production process. With CAM, our machinery can replicate complex parts with exact precision, reduce material waste, and maintain consistency across high-volume runs. This makes CAD/CAM manufacturing ideal for both prototypes and full-scale production.
Absolutely. KNS Metals offers a complete fabrication and CAD design service. We handle everything in-house — from concept and CAD design to CAM production and finishing. You won’t need to juggle multiple suppliers or wait on overseas timelines. It’s fast, reliable, and fully Melbourne-based.
Our CAD/CAM systems are equipped to handle a wide range of materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and galvanised metals. Combined with our advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and CAM software, we can prototype and manufacture to tight tolerances across almost any project requirement.
