Trusted 3D Printing for LA's Creative & Manufacturing Scenes
Fast, industrial 3D printing for Los Angeles product teams, studios, aerospace suppliers and startups, with online quoting, lead times from one day and next-day delivery across Southern California.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Nylon SLS parts stand up to repeated use, which is why they turn up as functional prototypes and end-use components alike. From a single test part to a production batch, Los Angeles product teams get durable housings, brackets and mechanisms in the same nylon at every quantity.

Fine detail and consistent surfaces suit enclosures, clips and mounts for consumer products and equipment, so a Los Angeles startup or established manufacturer can run a first release while tooling decisions wait.
Explore MJFLearn more about Multi-Jet Fusion (MJF)FDM prints large thermoplastic parts, jigs, fixtures and tooling in one piece, so a fixture or duct is not limited by a small build plate. ULTEM and other engineering thermoplastics handle the parts that see heat or load, giving Southern California workshops tooling built for the job.
Explore FDMLearn more about Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)SLA captures fine detail with smooth surfaces straight from the printer. That makes it useful for props, presentation models, clear or translucent parts and fit checks, giving designers, artists, researchers and product teams a part they can review, photograph and mold from.
Explore SLALearn more about Stereolithography (SLA)DMLS produces aluminum, stainless steel and titanium parts for functional testing and production when plastic will not do. Internal channels, lattice structures and consolidated assemblies come out as one part, so engineers can test a manifold, bracket or heat sink in its intended metal.

Southern California projects draw on West Coast manufacturing with metal, plastic and resin 3D printing in one operation. Whether you are a designer with one part or a manufacturer planning a batch, engineering guidance on materials and processes, online quoting, and shipping throughout the region come as standard.
Los Angeles projects range from a single detailed model to a few hundred production housings, often within the same product. Metal, plastic and resin run in one workflow, so those parts come from one supplier at one specification. Send drawings, material requirements and finishing priorities and our team confirms the process before production starts.
Nylon and MJF housings for consumer electronics and equipment with threaded inserts installed, produced in bridge runs while injection tooling is still being decided.
Bridge manufacturingSLA models with smooth surfaces and fine features for design reviews, client presentations and molding masters, produced directly from your CAD.

Step 01
Automated file checks before production
Drop your CAD files and receive immediate manufacturability feedback. Critical geometry and wall checks run as soon as files are uploaded.
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.
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.
Steam DFM intelligence flags risks instantly while our manufacturing engineers adjust builds, tooling, and documentation to keep production compliant across repeat runs.
Traceability with controlled document revisions and corrective actions tracked on every order.
ISO-2859 sampling plans and Cp/Cpk monitoring keep production builds within spec.
Dimensional and functional validation before we transition any build into sustained production.
Engineers oversee every build from start to finish.
GR&R qualified metrology delivers CAD-overlaid reports and revision history for auditors.
Surface, color, and assembly checks confirm presentation-ready hardware every shipment.
Talk with our manufacturing engineers
Bring your next program into Forge Labs Steam, from prototype intake to sustained production with audit-ready quality.
Engineering, procurement, and operations teams use Forge Labs Steam to upload CAD, run instant manufacturability checks, and lock pricing in seconds without inbox tag or manual back-and-forth.
Every industry asks something different of a part. We help Los Angeles teams match the design, material, and manufacturing process to the job it needs to do.
Los Angeles brings entertainment production together with aerospace engineering and product design. A prop department may need a detailed master for molding, while an engineering team needs a model to check an assembly. In both settings, moving from a screen to a physical object reveals details that are hard to judge in CAD alone.
Forge Labs supports that work with SLA 3D printing for detailed prop masters, presentation models, and fit-check prototypes. Smooth surfaces and fine features give artists a starting point for painting and molding, and let designers review the proportions and assembly of a part before its next revision.
