3D Printing in Parktown's Professional Community
Parktown is one of Johannesburg's oldest and most historically significant suburbs, known for its Victorian and Edwardian architecture and its concentration of hospitals, medical practices, and professional services firms. The Parktown Heritage Area, a collection of well-preserved historic mansions that form one of Johannesburg's most recognisable architectural landmarks, gives the suburb a distinctive character unlike other areas in the city. Wits University, whose medical and engineering campuses are adjacent to Parktown, draws a large academic and research community that regularly uses 3D Printing machines for prototyping, medical modelling, and engineering projects.
Demand in the Parktown market reflects its professional and academic character:
- Medical and dental professionals sourcing resin printers for models and surgical guides
