Professional & Industrial 3D Printing Services
We provide professional 3D printing services engineered for real-world use.
Our capabilities are designed to support engineers, manufacturers, and businesses that require accurate, functional, and repeatable parts, whether for prototyping, validation, or low-volume production.
Every project is reviewed for material suitability, strength, tolerances, and application requirements before printing begins.
Where required, our 3D printing services are supported by in-house 3D scanning & reverse engineering, CAD & engineering services, and rapid prototyping to ensure accurate, production-ready results from concept to production-ready parts.
What We 3D Print
Precision prototypes for form, fit, and functional testing before tooling.
Production-ready 3D printed parts designed for real-world use and demanding environments.
Custom jigs and fixtures to improve accuracy, repeatability, and production efficiency.
Custom replacement parts for discontinued or hard-to-source components.
Cost-effective low-to-medium volume manufacturing without tooling delays.
Large, custom 3D printed components made to spec.
If you’re unsure whether 3D printing is the right manufacturing method for your application, our team will advise on feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and alternative processes before production. This ensures you receive a solution that performs — not just a printed part.
Our 3D Printing Process
We review your STL or STEP file to confirm geometry, tolerances, and print readiness.
Material and printing technology are selected based on strength, accuracy, and application.
Parts are produced on professional-grade equipment with controlled tolerances and consistent quality.
Finishing, inspection, and preparation for collection or nationwide delivery across South Africa.
Materials & 3D Printing Technologies We Offer
We specialise in professional FDM and resin-based 3D printing, covering the majority of industrial, engineering, and commercial applications — from functional prototypes to production-ready components.
Our team selects materials and processes based on strength, accuracy, surface finish, operating environment, and cost-efficiency, not assumptions.
FDM 3D printing is ideal for strong, functional parts, large components, and cost-effective production. It is commonly used for prototypes, jigs, fixtures, housings, and durable end-use parts across industrial applications
Available materials include:
- PLA
- PETG
- ABS
- ASA
- TPU
- NYLON
Best suited for functional prototypes, mechanical components, tooling, and low-to-medium volume production.
Resin 3D printing is ideal for high-detail, smooth-surface parts requiring tight tolerances and fine features. It is widely used for visual prototypes, precision components, mould masters, and presentation-ready parts where surface quality is critical.
Available materials include:
- Standard Resin
- Tough / Engineering Resin
- High-Detail Resin
- Heat-Resistant Resin
Best suited for visual prototypes, precision components, mould masters, medical and dental models, and low-volume detailed parts.

Why Choose Create It 3D
Create It 3D is built for engineers, manufacturers, and businesses that need reliable, production-ready 3D printing — not hobby output. Our systems, processes, and capacity are designed to support real-world applications, tight deadlines, and repeatable quality.
Access to 100+ production-ready 3D printers allows us to scale jobs, maintain lead times, and support repeat manufacturing without bottlenecks.
Every part is reviewed for geometry, tolerances, and application to ensure functional, production-ready results.
We specialise in FDM and resin printing using materials selected for strength, durability, and real-world use — not display-only parts.
From one-off prototypes to low-to-medium volume production, we support the full lifecycle without changing suppliers.
Designed, printed, and delivered locally across South Africa with fast turnaround and direct accountability.
3D Printing Services – FAQs
What file formats do you accept for 3D printing?
What file formats do you accept for 3D printing?
We accept STL and STEP files. If your file is not print-ready, we can assist with file checks, adjustments, or CAD support before printing.
What is the difference between FDM and resin 3D printing?
What is the difference between FDM and resin 3D printing?
FDM 3D printing is best for strong, functional, and larger parts, while resin 3D printing is ideal for high-detail, smooth-surface components with fine features and tight tolerances.
Can you print functional and end-use parts?
Can you print functional and end-use parts?
Yes. We manufacture functional prototypes, mechanical components, housings, brackets, tooling, and end-use parts using materials selected for real-world performance.
How long does 3D printing take?
How long does 3D printing take?
Turnaround time depends on part size, complexity, material, and quantity. Most jobs are completed within a few working days after file approval and confirmation.
Do you offer low-volume or batch production?
Do you offer low-volume or batch production?
Yes. Our capacity supports low-to-medium volume production runs without the need for expensive moulds or tooling, making it ideal for short-run manufacturing.
Do you provide 3D printing services across South Africa?
Do you provide 3D printing services across South Africa?
Yes. We manufacture locally and deliver nationwide across South Africa, supporting both once-off and repeat production jobs.
Can you help choose the right material or printing process?
Can you help choose the right material or printing process?
Yes. Every job is reviewed, and we recommend the most suitable material and 3D printing technology based on strength, accuracy, surface finish, and application requirements.
Is 3D printing suitable for industrial or commercial use?
Is 3D printing suitable for industrial or commercial use?
Absolutely. Our 3D printing services are widely used across engineering, manufacturing, automotive, construction, and commercial applications.
How much does 3D printing cost?
How much does 3D printing cost?
3D printing costs depend on part size, material, complexity, and quantity. Once we review your file and requirements, we provide a clear, application-based quote with no hidden costs.
