POSITECH founder Zander van der Watt speaking at Leopards Lair.
Positech recently achieved success in the Leopards Lair competition, where the business idea was pitched to a distinguished panel of experts from various sectors. The experience was both challenging and immensely rewarding, providing a platform to showcase the entrepreneurial spirit and dedication behind the work.
Out of approximately 50 competitors, only 5 undergraduates were selected for the final stage. This stringent selection process forced a critical evaluation of competitive advantages and a strategic structuring of the business for success.
The competition provided phenomenal practice in pitching and allowed us to test the quality of our business model and product in a compettive context with expert judges. It was not only a lot of fun but also a great learning opportunity that will undoubtedly contribute to future ventures.

Special thanks to everyone who supported throughout this journey. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the entrepreneurial journey, with a commitment to continuing to innovate and make a positive impact in the business world.
How 3D Printing Services at Positech Offer Rapid Prototyping and More

Automation: Reducing Environmental Impact and Enhancing Efficiency at Positech
As a company committed to innovation, Positech is constantly exploring new ways to enhance the world we live in. One of the ways we achieve this is by leveraging automation to reduce our environmental impact.
Automation offers numerous benefits for both businesses and the environment. By replacing manual labor with automated systems, we can optimize our production processes, reduce waste, and minimize our energy consumption. This, in turn, helps us to operate in a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly manner.
At Positech, we are proud to have embraced automation as a key part of our operations. Our team of experts is continuously exploring new ways to leverage automation in order to improve our efficiency, reduce our environmental impact, and create value for our customers.
One of the primary ways we have achieved this is through 3D Printing, which is our main production process and is how we produce most of the mechanical parts of our machines. By using automated 3D-printing processes to print products, we are able to reduce our environmental impact by minimizing the amount of waste generated during the production process.
Another area where automation has had a significant impact is in the development of our new range of vending machines. These machines are designed to be energy-efficient, with automated systems that optimize power consumption and reduce energy waste. By implementing intelligent automation technologies, we have been able to achieve significant energy savings and reduce our carbon footprint.
Furthermore, automation has also allowed us to improve the reliability and quality of our products. By removing human error from certain processes and relying on automated systems, we can ensure consistent and high-quality results.
Overall, automation plays a crucial role in our commitment to sustainability and efficiency at Positech. By embracing automation, we are able to reduce our environmental impact, enhance our operational efficiency, and deliver innovative solutions to our customers. We will continue to explore new automation technologies and integrate them into our processes to further advance our environmental goals.
