Laser work in Cape Town
Cape Town has South Africa's liveliest design and maker scene, and laser cutters run constantly in Woodstock, Salt River and Paarden Eiland studios turning out furniture parts, lighting, jewellery, architectural models and decor. Montague Gardens and Epping hold the bigger fibre and CO2 shops, sheet metal works and acrylic suppliers. The film, advertising and events industries order sets, props and display stands at short notice, while the city's restaurants, hotels and wine bars buy branded menus, engraved boards and signage. Corporate offices order gifts and awards, and couples book wedding decor across the Peninsula. Salt air on both coasts makes 316 stainless and UV-stable acrylic sensible outdoors.
