For tough wear parts and brackets on mining or farm machinery, CNC-machined steel 4140 or laser-cut, bent mild steel with powder coating hold up well. For fast plastic prototypes, FDM in PETG or ASA is an economical start.

Main cities we deliver to: Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Gqeberha.
