At 3D Printing Store, we believe that making is more powerful than buying.
There’s something deeply satisfying about solving a problem yourself, repairing what was broken, creating something unique, or bringing an idea to life. We exist to help people experience that feeling.
We are more than a supplier of 3D printers, CNC machines and laser cutters. We are a team of passionate creators, engineers and technical specialists committed to helping people become capable makers. Whether you’re building your first project at home, running a growing business, or teaching the next generation of innovators, our goal is the same: to give you the confidence, knowledge and technology to succeed.
Since our beginnings in 2013, we have grown from a small online business operating out of a garage into one of South Africa’s leading suppliers of digital manufacturing technology. Today, with two retail stores, a nationwide online platform and a team of more than 30 dedicated professionals, we continue to serve thousands of makers, businesses, schools and manufacturers across the country.
But growth has never been our main purpose.
Our purpose is to help people solve problems, create opportunities and unlock their potential through technology.
That purpose shapes every decision we make—from the products we choose to stock, to the advice we give, the technical support we provide and the educational content we create.
More Than a Retailer
We don’t want to be known simply as a place that sells machines.
We are building South Africa’s home of digital makers.
Our stores are places where creators can receive expert advice, discover new technologies, develop their skills and gain the confidence to tackle increasingly ambitious projects. Whether you visit us online or in-store, our aim is that every interaction leaves you more capable than before.
Because when our customers succeed, we succeed.

Our Purpose
We help self-reliant creators solve problems and bring their ideas to life, so that they experience accomplishment, confidence and peace of mind.
Technology is simply the tool.
Our real purpose is helping people become capable enough to design, build, repair and create for themselves.
Every interaction should leave our customers feeling more confident than before.
Our Mission
We empower self-reliant creators through trusted technology, expert guidance and exceptional support, enabling them to build with confidence and grow into capable makers.
We do this by:
- Helping customers choose the right solution.
- Providing trusted products that we proudly stand behind.
- Delivering expert technical support.
- Developing skills through education and ongoing guidance.
- Building a community where makers learn, share and grow together.
We don’t measure our success by the number of machines we sell.
We measure our success by the number of capable creators we help develop.
Our Vision
To become South Africa’s authority brand for digital makers and the most trusted destination for 3D printing, CNC and laser technology.
We envision a future where:
- Every creator knows they can rely on 3D Printing Store for trusted advice.

- Customers progress from beginners to confident creators through structured learning and support.
- Our community inspires innovation, collaboration and continuous learning.
- Our team is recognised as the industry’s leading technical experts.
- Our brand is synonymous with confidence, capability and independence.
We are not building a chain of stores.
We are building South Africa’s digital maker movement.
