About 3DCT

Connecting digital designs with the physical world

3D Printing Cape Town — 3DCT for short — is a 3D printing service based in Bellville, Cape Town.

Who we are

Your ideas, made one layer at a time

We see ourselves as matchmakers between the digital and physical worlds. You bring the design, drawing, photo or idea; we turn it into something you can hold, test and use.

We handle the whole journey: CAD design and technical drawings, 3D modelling, and 3D printing of prototypes, jigs and fixtures, enclosures, replacement parts and short production runs — as well as custom pieces with complex shapes that would be difficult to make any other way.

We're based in Cape Town and work with customers across South Africa, with finished parts sent by courier wherever they're needed.

Our approach

Practical, honest and focused on the part

  • Start with the problem

    Before we talk about printers or plastics, we want to know what the part has to do and where it will live.

  • Match the material to the job

    We'll suggest a material that suits the application and explain the trade-offs in plain language.

  • Iterate quickly

    Printing makes it practical to test a version, learn from it and improve the next one.

  • Get it to you

    Finished parts can be couriered anywhere in South Africa, so you don't need to be in Cape Town.

Service area

Based in Bellville, delivering nationwide

Our base is in Oude Westhof, Bellville, in Cape Town's northern suburbs. Customers elsewhere in South Africa can send files and receive their parts by courier.
