Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

SLS gives teams across Puget Sound durable nylon parts, from a first functional prototype to a repeat production run. SLS suits brackets, ducting and snap-fit housings that need to survive real use, and the same file can move to a larger batch when the project is ready.

Parts made to your specification, finished and ready to use

Metal, plastic and resin production run in one workflow, so a Seattle design can move from a single prototype to a repeat run without switching suppliers. Send your drawings, material requirements and finishing priorities, and our team will confirm the process before producing every part to the same specification, whether you order one or several hundred.

  • Instrument enclosures

    Nylon enclosures for sensors and electronics with threaded inserts installed and a dyed or smoothed finish, ready to close up around a board and mount in place.

    Surface finishes
  • Assembly jigs and fixtures

    FDM fixtures that hold a component at the right angle for bonding, drilling or inspection, printed to fit your workflow rather than adapted from a catalog part.

    FDM 3D printing
  • Metal brackets and manifolds

    DMLS aluminum brackets and fluid manifolds with internal channels for functional testing and low-volume production, for aerospace suppliers, researchers and startups alike.

How every order is kept consistent

A quality system built for ISO 9001
Steam, our manufacturing system, keeps the batch, material and inspection records for each order. First article inspection and dimensional reports are available on request.
Finishing chosen when you quote
Choose the finishing your part needs, from dyed or smoothed surfaces to bead blasting, paint and installed inserts, with the available options shown when you quote. Surface finishes
Engineering support before production
Uploads are checked for manufacturability, and our team helps with material, process and finish decisions so the first part and the five-hundredth are built the same way.

3D Printing for Seattle's Manufacturing Landscape

Greater Seattle's aerospace suppliers, maritime businesses, and hardware developers share a practical challenge: fitting new designs into complex systems. Around Puget Sound, that can mean checking an instrument enclosure, routing cables through a tight assembly, or designing a fixture that holds a component where an operator needs it.

Forge Labs helps engineers work through those details with MJF 3D printing for nylon housings, brackets, and assembly aids. Teams can evaluate several design variations together, check fit on the bench, and refine the preferred version for a small production run. Custom tooling also supports aerospace assembly and inspection work without becoming part of the aircraft itself.

Industry Focus
