A Few Words About
A Few Words About
Concept
The COVID-19 pandemic affected us all in different ways. Lannix Design and Lannix 3D were created as a response to the uncertainty surrounding employment that the pandemic introduced to all of us.
Exposure to Computer Aided Design (CAD) and 3D printing at university sparked an interest for me and I soon became an avid hobbyist with a head full of ideas for interesting projects.
Although I was ultimately unaffected by job loss, a taste of independence instilled in me the desire to own and run a profitable business. What started as a small side business has evolved into a full-time enterprise.

About Me
Nick Laney, Director
I have always had an interest in machines such as computers, tools and all things automotive. My younger days tinkering with cars and a previous life in the building industry led me to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering at QUT.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at uni, taking full advantage of the exchange program to study in both Italy and Germany and spending time with the motorsports club.
I started learning CAD in 2013 at QUT using SolidWorks and ANSYS software and was hooked, thinking of the possibilities of what I could model. I managed to acquire a student copy for my home computer and spent my mid-year break modelling a GM LS2 v8 engine. YouTube was most helpful when I inevitably became stuck on a complex part and with this assistance I managed to complete the model and even simulate it running over my two week break. I have to admit I was very happy with my work at the time but looking back at that model I see a lot of room for improvement!
Soon after this I acquired my first 3D printer and have been consistently finding ways to put them to work, creating parts for cars, woodworking projects and electronics.
My final year thesis project was to design a way of adapting a cold-fusion plasma jet to a 3D printer to treat any 3D object on the print bed with a plasma coating. During the project I learned a lot about the inner workings of the 3D printer and the G-code that enables the machine to operate.
I graduated from QUT with second-class honours (distinction) and have been working as an engineer for various companies since then using SolidWorks and most recently Autodesk Inventor.
I thank you for your interest in my company and look forward to discussing your needs regarding CAD and/or 3D printing.
