Professional 3D printing from idea to finished result.
Custom 3D printing for businesses, product developers and individuals in Durban and across South Africa. We help turn drawings, samples, measurements and ideas into accurate, usable physical products.
Built around the application. Not just the printer.
PRIMUS 3D combines design thinking, material selection, additive manufacturing and finishing. The result is a considered part or product made for its intended purpose—not an unfinished print that still needs to be resolved.
01
Design support
You do not need a production-ready 3D file to start. We can work from an existing CAD model, drawing, physical sample, reference image or clear set of measurements to define the product and prepare it for manufacture.
CAD preparation and refinement
Design for additive manufacturing
Fit, assembly and tolerance planning
02
Material and process selection
The correct material depends on how the product will be used. Heat, UV exposure, impact, flexibility, surface finish and budget are considered before the production route is confirmed.
Engineering polymers
Fibre-reinforced materials
Flexible TPU and high-detail resin
03
Manufacture and completion
Production is only one part of the service. Where required, we can include support removal, surface finishing, hardware, assembly, electronics integration and testing so the agreed product is delivered ready to use.
One-off parts and prototypes
Short production runs
Finished product delivery
Typical applications
Practical possibilities. Purpose-led results.
Every project is assessed individually. Geometry, finish, operating environment, quantity and material requirements guide the manufacturing route.
01Custom brackets and housings
02Replacement components
03Product prototypes
04Jigs and workshop aids
05Display models and collectibles
06Illuminated signs and branded pieces
Frequently asked
Before we begin.
What do I need to send for a quotation?+
Send the intended use, approximate size, quantity and any available 3D file, drawing, measurements, photographs or physical sample. The more operating information you provide, the better we can assess the correct route.
Can you help if I do not have a 3D file?+
Yes. PRIMUS 3D can assist with design and file preparation using your sketch, measurements, reference images or sample as a starting point.
Do you only manufacture one-off items?+
No. We handle one-off custom products, prototypes and practical short runs. Quantity, geometry and finish are reviewed to determine the most suitable production approach.
Do you serve customers outside Durban?+
Yes. We are based at 245 Umbilo Road in Durban and can arrange delivery of suitable projects across KwaZulu-Natal and the rest of South Africa.
Start with what you have
A sketch, sample or idea is enough to begin.
Send us your requirements, measurements, reference photos, drawings or 3D files. We will help define the most practical route forward.
