About Forma Prints
A Small Studio Behind Every Print
Forma Prints is a hands-on custom 3D printing operation — one maker turning ideas into physical objects, not a faceless factory running through orders.
Who We Are
Started With a Printer and a Pile of Odd Requests
Forma Prints started the way most good small businesses do — with a 3D printer, a lot of curiosity, and a growing pile of requests from people who wanted something that didn't exist yet. That's still the whole business: someone has an idea, a broken part, a gift they can't find anywhere, or a character they want to hold in their hands — and we work out how to print it.
There's no product line to push and no minimum order size. If it's a strange one-off request, that's kind of the point.
Why Go Custom
Worth More Than the Nearest Thing on a Shelf
-
01
Made to your exact spec — size, colour, fit, finish — not the closest match on a shelf.
-
02
One-off or small batch, so it's made for you, not stocked for anyone who walks past.
-
03
Direct back-and-forth with the person actually printing it, not a support queue.
-
04
Material and finish chosen for how the piece will actually be used, not just what's on hand.
Care, From First Message to Final Layer
Finished Properly, Not Just Finished
Every order gets checked for how it'll actually hold up before it goes anywhere near the printer — wall thickness, orientation, the right material for the job. Finishing gets the same attention: supports removed cleanly, edges sanded where they need it, resin prints cured properly.
If something about the design isn't quite right, we'll say so and work through it with you before printing, not after. And because there's no call centre in the way, a WhatsApp message usually gets a reply the same day.
Local Craft
Proudly Made, Layer by Layer, in South Africa
Every piece that leaves Forma Prints was printed, checked and finished right here — not mass-produced overseas and dropped into a generic listing. Small-batch, local, and made by someone who'll actually answer if you have a question about it.
