"The CRPM is located at the Central University of Technology, Free State CUT in Bloemfontein and was established in 1997 as part of a research initiative. At that time, Additive Manufacturing AM also commonly known as 3D printing, was in its infancy worldwide.Through the foresight of the founders of the CRPM, a laser sintering machine was imported from Germany for research at the Faculty of Engineering. This was the fifth machine in the country. It was soon realised that our equipment could benefit industry by offering a service in rapid prototyping. This would fulfil one of the missions of the university which is to introduce new technology to the South African manufacturing industry."
