We're incredibly proud to have been part of the Reef City Innovation Tour hosted by Smart Precinct NQ! 🚀🌴

It was a privilege to open our doors and showcase how Rising Sun FPV is helping drive innovation right here in North Queensland. From advanced 3D printing and manufacturing to drone technology, STEM education, and repair services, we're passionate about proving that world-class capability exists right here in Townsville.

A huge thank you to Smart Precinct NQ for including us alongside other incredible local businesses. It was inspiring to share ideas, discuss future opportunities, and highlight the amazing work being done across our region.

💡 Innovation isn't something North Queensland has to wait for or import from elsewhere. It's already happening here – built by local businesses, supported by our community, and driven by people who dare to think differently.

Thank you to everyone who joined the tour and took the time to learn more about what we do. The future is bright for North Queensland, and we're excited to be part of the journey.

🦀 More Tide Walkers Incoming! 🦀

The printers have been busy again and we've got another wave of Tide Walkers crawling off the print beds and heading towards the painting bench!

These little crustaceans have become a favourite around the workshop, and now comes the fun part—deciding how to paint them.

🎨 We need your ideas!

What species of crab should we base their colours on?

🦀 Christmas Island Red Crab
🦀 Coconut Crab
🦀 Blue Swimmer Crab
🦀 Rainbow Crab
🦀 Halloween Crab
🦀 Ghost Crab
🦀 Fiddler Crab
🦀 Tasselled Coral Crab

Or maybe something completely different?

Drop your suggestions and photos in the comments! We might just pick some of the community favourites for the next batch.

Stay tuned as more Tide Walkers emerge from the printer farm and make their way into the world! 🌊

🌊🪸 Our printers are hard at work for the Reef! 🪸🌊

The print farm has been running flat out this week, producing bucket loads of coral polyps for the Reef Authority as part of an exciting marine research and education project.

These aren't your ordinary 3D prints either! We've been using a colour-changing filament designed to mimic the visual effects of coral bleaching, helping to create realistic models that can be used for demonstrations, displays, research, and community engagement.

It's always rewarding to see 3D printing being used for more than just prototypes and hobby projects. From giant dragons and life-size statues to supporting reef conservation and education, additive manufacturing continues to find new and meaningful applications.

A huge shoutout to our printers, which have been running around the clock turning kilograms of filament into thousands of tiny coral polyps! 🖨️⚙️

⚔️ He Finally Has a Head! ⚔️

After 3 failed prints, countless hours of troubleshooting, and a printer that seemed determined to fight us every step of the way this week, Paul Atreides has finally received his head! 🎉

Sometimes large-scale printing isn't all smooth sailing. Between unexpected printer issues, failed sections, and plenty of colourful language in the workshop. 😅

But that's all part of creating 1:1 scale statues. When you're printing pieces this large, every failure is a learning experience, and every successful print feels like a victory.

Now that Paul's head is complete, we can continue pushing forward on this epic build and bring the future Duke of House Atreides to life.

Who else is excited to see the full statue come together?
