Cape Town has a boatbuilding industry, an active film and advertising scene, and wine and food producers in the Winelands nearby. Each needs custom parts at short notice, from boat fittings to camera rigs. MakeNow prints them in its EU workshop and ships them express to Cape Town.
For marine fittings that face salt and sun, ASA on FDM or PA11 on SLS are good choices. Film teams needing camera mounts or props can use SLA Tough resin for detail or large-format FDM for size.
We also deliver across: Stellenbosch, Bellville, Paarl and Atlantis and the rest of South Africa.
