2023 Exhibitors
3d printing store

3D Printing Store.co.za forms part of the 3D Printing Factory (Pty) Ltd Group. We are one of the leading 3D printing businesses in South Africa. Over the years we expanded our product focus to related technologies like CNC and lasers. Our core values are customer satisfaction, to be known as a supplier with integrity, to develop and grow our people and to do what we do with passion.
3D Printing Store.co.za started in 2013 from a feeling of frustration not to be able to buy the 3D Printer components we need for our projects in South Africa. After doing market research we saw that there are a lot of people besides us having the exact same feeling. Mahatma Gandhi said: "Be the change you want to see in the world" and he is a lot smarter than we are, so we followed his advice and started 3D Printing Store.co.za.
We are very passionate about 3D printing and the whole Reprap open source development. We like to try new things, to develop new processes and then to give it back to the community. That is why we are always trying to push the boundaries and broaden the horizon.
Thank you for using our website. We hope that we can be of service!
If you feel that we do not live up to our values, please contact us. We would like to know where you feel we can improve so that we can put a :-) on your face!

NSRI
The establishment of the NSRI was born from a tragic event that saw Simon's Town teacher Pattie Price begin an impassioned letter-writting campaign to various media stating her case for sea rescue service.

She was no stranger to the terror of being out at sea in distress, having been rescued as a child from a wrecked ship in the English Channel by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
Patti wanted something like the RNLI for South Africa. The pen proved mighty indeed and her efforts were acknowledged by the Society of Master Mariners of South Africa who started the South African In shore Rescue Service (SAISRS) in 1967.
Patti Price has a special place in the hearts of Sea Rescue volunteers, and is recognised as the founder of the NSRI. Station 10’s Simon’s Town base is named in her honour.
