Production 3D Printers South Africa

Digital Factory + Digital Manufacturing Specialists.

Giving you the end-to-end technology and tools to shape the future of your manufacturing operations using production 3D printing & Additive Manufacturing. Rapid 3D are Technology Partners for proven production 3D Printer manufacturers, 3D Scanning, and 3D Printing focused Post-processing equipment in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.

How can Rapid 3D help you?

Many vendors of 3D printers, 3D Design Software, and 3D Scanners simply want to sell you their technology — regardless of whether that technology is suited to your application or manufacturing workflow.

There is a better way, one that won’t leave you dismissing 3D printing, simply because you were sold the wrong technology package.


We Support You the Whole Way – From Your Entry Into Additive Manufacturing to Factories Ready for Series Production.

Here’s how Rapid 3D works with you to ensure you join the successful Innovators and Early Adopters, who have been using 3D printing & 3D Scanning as a competitive advantage for the last 20+ years.

#1 - Additive Minds led 3D production process consulting

Additive Minds

Trained by the multi-year award winning Additive Minds team in Germany, Rapid 3D employs the same proven process used with with the likes of Mercedes, BMW and Airbus to determine your best 3D printing strategy.

#2 Select 3D print optimisable parts from your part inventory

Part Selection

We work with you to select the parts most suited to the benefits of Additive Manufacturing.

We then work with your engineers to optimise your parts for Additive Manufacturing.

#3 - Select the 3D printer technology best suited to your applications

Technology Selection

There are a range of 3D printing technologies, each best suited for a set of applications.

We work with you to determine the best technology fit.

#4 - Develop an optimised production workflow for your 3d printed parts

Production Work-flow

Printing parts using 3D printers is only one step in your work-flow.

We work with you to determine the best post processing and factory automation options.

#5 - Determine the financial feasibility of converting a part to a 3d printed part based production work flow

Financial Feasibility

If your investment doesn’t provide the returns you are looking to achieve, then you have taken a step back, not forwards.

We work with you to ensure the economics of 3D printing work for your operations.

Rapid-3D_AM-Technology-Partnerships

3D Printing Technology Partnerships are a critical success factor.

Proven technology platforms, materials, and processes are critical to the success of implementing Additive Manufacturing into your manufacturing operations.

Many have chosen a supplier and technology for the wrong reasons. The end result is that they determined that 3D printing doesn’t work. When in fact, the issue was the lack of a proven process to determine the various aspects of production when employing 3D printing into an existing manufacturing operation.

When you partner with Rapid 3D, you get the benefit of local knowledge, proven technologies, processes and systems.
