Custom 3D Printing

Need a prototype, functional part, personalised product or custom idea brought to life?

RU3D offers custom 3D printing services in South Africa for individuals, businesses and creators. With more than five years of hands-on additive manufacturing experience and over 200 custom projects completed, we can help turn your idea into a physical product.

3D printing is ideal for prototypes, replacement parts, custom products and smaller production runs where flexibility and fast turnaround matter.

What Can We 3D Print for You?

We can assist with:

  • Prototypes and product concepts
  • Functional parts and replacement components
  • Tools, brackets and practical solutions
  • Personalised gifts and event items
  • Toys, models and display pieces
  • Small-batch business orders
  • High-detail resin models
  • Creative once-off projects

Already have a 3D model? Send us your STL file or a link to the design.

Only have an idea, photograph or sketch? We also offer basic 3D design services. Design work is quoted separately based on complexity.

How the Process Works

  1. Send us your idea or model
    Email us your STL file, sketch, photograph, measurements or a description of what you need.
  2. We assess the project
    We review the design and recommend a suitable printing method, material and colour.
  3. Receive your quote
    Pricing is based on size, material, print time and project complexity.
  4. We print your product
    Once approved, we begin production and keep you updated throughout the process.

Turnaround times depend on the size and complexity of the project, material choice and our current production schedule.
