Industrial 3D Printing Technologies

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

EOS Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) delivers high-strength nylon parts with repeatable tolerances and an injection-moulded surface finish. Complex geometries print without support structures, and consistent properties in every direction make it ideal for functional prototypes and end-use parts, from a single part to repeat production.

Forge Labs Steam platform

Additive technologies powered by an intelligent manufacturing platform

Every build that leaves our SLS, MJF, SLA, FDM, and DMLS cells stays in sync inside Forge Labs Steam. Real-time manufacturability insight, instant quoting, and coordinated fulfillment keep prototype and production runs aligned - so the value you see next is operational, not theoretical.

Our parts set us apart

Forge Labs brings online quoting, engineering support, and industrial 3D printing together for prototypes and production across North America. From your first part to repeat production, manage quoting and orders through one manufacturing platform.

Steam captures batch control, powder genealogy, and technician notes throughout production. Traceability records are kept for every order, supporting quality systems and regulated industries.

  • Industrial EOS, HP, and Stratasys production systems for consistent, production-grade parts
  • DFM analysis to identify manufacturability risks before production
  • In-house finishing and post-processing, plus CNC machining for specialized parts

Production built for scale

Metal, plastic and resin 3D printing run in our own facilities under one manufacturing system, so a design can move from a single prototype to a repeat run without changing suppliers. Production lead times are shown when you quote, and our technicians carry each order through building, finishing and inspection to the same specification.

1 part or 1,000

Rapid prototyping to full-scale production, our systems keep programs moving while the same engineers guide each phase. Upload files for instant quotes or collaborate with our team to select the right mix of 3D printing materials and technologies for your build. Every build follows the same validated path: intake, qualification, automated production, and inspection, so your prototypes hand off to production without rework.

Manufacturing quality assurance

Quality you can see

Forge Labs Steam orchestrates quoting, manufacturability feedback, and order execution, but every part still meets our quality lab before it ships. Automation accelerates the paperwork; engineers close the loop with metrology, documentation, and cosmetic sign-off.

Performance you can trust

Steam DFM intelligence flags risks instantly while our manufacturing engineers adjust builds, tooling, and documentation to keep production compliant across repeat runs.

  • ISO 9001-Aligned QMS

    Traceability with controlled document revisions and corrective actions tracked on every order.

  • Statistical quality control

    ISO-2859 sampling plans and Cp/Cpk monitoring keep production builds within spec.

  • First article inspection

    Dimensional and functional validation before we transition any build into sustained production.

  • In-house manufacturing

    Engineers oversee every build from start to finish.

  • Dimensional reports

    GR&R qualified metrology delivers CAD-overlaid reports and revision history for auditors.

  • Visual and cosmetic sign-off

    Surface, color, and assembly checks confirm presentation-ready hardware every shipment.
