Meet Tiaan · FORGED 3D
Where engineering meets imagination.
I’m Tiaan Bezuidenhout, the owner of FORGED3D (Pty) Ltd, a freelance 3D model builder and 3D software tutor based in Langenhoven Park, Bloemfontein, Free State.
FORGED 3D brings together custom 3D printing, digital model building and practical tuition in Blender, FreeCAD and print preparation. You can request a model or physical part, learn online, or discuss an interactive workshop for your group.
Founded on 26 April 2026, FORGED 3D grew from a vision to connect technical problem solving with creative expression. We believe the future is built by those who can both calculate and dream.
The creative side
Creative inspiration & artistic form.
3D printing is about beauty and fun as well as utility. Using Blender, we explore organic shapes and imaginative concepts, creating designs that inspire curiosity and bring digital art into the physical world.
The practical side
Technical engineering & purposeful design.
For mechanical parts and functional designs, the details matter. Dimensions, fit, and intended use shape the process, helping an idea become a considered response to a real-world problem.
Tools for your next idea
Fueling the maker in you.
Printers, materials, models, and knowledge all have a role in a maker’s journey. FORGED 3D brings these interests together for people who want to create, solve problems, and keep learning.
Explore what we doSharing what makes creation possible
Knowledge belongs in the workshop.
We want more people to feel confident exploring 3D technology. Through online learning, interactive workshops, and individual guidance, we make room for questions and practical discovery.
Looking ahead
Where we are heading.
Our ambition is to become an educational and technical lighthouse for 3D printing in South Africa: a place where students build mechanical intuition and creators find the digital toolkit to realise their vision.
The peak of innovation is high, but we are climbing it together.
