Our Story
Essency started years ago as an engraving and print operation, first in Europe and later relocating to Pretoria. Across both countries the same lesson kept coming back. People want pieces that feel made for them, not pulled off a shelf. Whether that is a laser engraved gift, a sublimated mug, or a fully custom 3D print, the magic is in the making.
Forged3D was built to focus that idea on one thing. 3D printing, done well, made local, and made easy to order. We design, print, and deliver from our Pretoria workshop, with the same care and craft that has run through Essency from day one.
That is still how we work today.
What We Do
-
Designed Pieces
Curated collections for the home, the office, and the in between. Vases, planters, organisers, and decorative objects designed to look good and last.
-
Functional Prints
Brackets, replacement parts, jigs, fixtures, and engineering pieces printed in materials that hold up to real use.
-
Custom Orders
Got a sketch, a rough idea, or a file you need printed? Send it through. We quote within 24 hours and most orders ship in under a week.
Behind the Brand
Every print that leaves Forged3D goes through the same workshop, the same machines, and the same hands. There is no offshoring, no drop shipping, no middlemen.
We use premium filaments, dial in our settings for each material, and check every piece before it ships. If something is not right, we reprint it. That is how we want to be treated as customers, so that is how we run things.
We also believe small details matter. Clean packaging, real communication, and a delivery that feels considered. Not because it is fancy, but because it is the right way to do it.
