SLS is the workhorse for durable nylon parts that go straight into service, from equipment guards to sensor housings and replacement components for machinery that is out of production. Prototype and production use the same process, so a Calgary team can validate one part and reorder fifty without changes.

MJF builds batches of detailed plastic parts without tooling, which suits product developers who need enclosures, brackets and clips in quantity before committing to injection moulds. Consistent walls and crisp features make assembly predictable, and a revised file drops into the next batch without retooling.

FDM handles large thermoplastic parts and the tooling around them: drill guides, assembly jigs, protective covers and one-off replacement parts for equipment in the field. Engineering thermoplastics such as ULTEM take more heat than commodity plastics for tooling that works near hot equipment.

SLA delivers fine detail and smooth surfaces for presentation models, fit checks and flow visualisation. Clear and translucent resins show how fluid moves through a manifold or how a lens sits in a housing, and a polished model puts a concept in front of investors or customers before tooling.

Western Canadian Manufacturing for Calgary
Calgary teams get metal, plastic and resin production from one Western Canadian operation, made in Canada and shipped to Alberta. Engineering support helps choose between processes, and online quoting gives pricing and lead times before you commit, from a single prototype to a repeat production run.
- Made in Canada
- Prototype to production
- From 1 day
- Production lead times
Parts made to your specification, finished and ready to use
Projects across Alberta range from a single replacement part for a machine in the field to a repeat run of product housings, and the right process changes with each one. Send the model with any drawings and tell us how the part will be used; we match material, process and finish, then build the run.
Replacement parts for equipment
Nylon and metal replacements for worn or obsolete components on machinery, built from your CAD when the original supplier no longer stocks them.
End-use partsFlow manifolds and test bodies
DMLS manifolds and clear SLA flow bodies with internal channels for bench testing of valves, sensors and fluid systems before machining a production version.
DMLS metal 3D printingProduct enclosures in batches
MJF enclosures for connected devices and instruments, printed in batches from ten to several hundred with consistent walls and a smooth, dyed finish.

Industries We Serve in Calgary
Every industry asks something different of a part. We help Calgary teams match the design, material, and manufacturing process to the job it needs to do.
3D Printing for Calgary's Manufacturing Landscape
Calgary's energy sector brings equipment designers and engineering teams close to the needs of Alberta's oil and gas operations. Alongside that work, clean technology and agricultural technology developers are building new monitoring and control systems. For these projects, a physical prototype can reveal whether a sensor fits its housing or a technician can reach a connector before equipment heads into the field.
Forge Labs supports that hands-on development with SLS 3D printing for nylon enclosure prototypes, cable guides, and assembly fixtures. Teams can compare mounting arrangements and check service access without commissioning a mold for each revision, then choose materials and finishes to suit the intended application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our 3D printing services in Calgary
- Where are parts for Calgary orders made?
- Calgary orders are made in Canada through Western Canadian manufacturing, drawing on Canada's largest industrial 3D printing fleet across metal, plastic and resin. Finished parts ship next day across Alberta once production is complete.
- Can you replace a worn or discontinued equipment part?
- Often, yes. Send the CAD file, with a drawing if critical features need it, and we print the part in a material suited to the duty: glass-filled nylon for stiffness, or aluminum or stainless steel when a polymer will not carry the load. Repeat orders print from the same file.
- Do you make flow manifolds and test bodies for energy projects?
- Yes. DMLS prints manifolds with internal channels in aluminum and stainless steel, and clear resin test bodies let engineers see flow paths during development. Metal parts start from four business days.
- Can you produce enclosures in batches for field monitoring devices?
- MJF and SLS print enclosures for monitoring and control hardware in batches without mould tooling, and UV-stable ASA suits housings that sit outdoors. When the design changes between field trials, the next batch prints from the revised file.
- How quickly can Calgary teams get parts?
- Most plastic and resin parts can be printed in as little as one day, and metal starts from four business days. The lead time options are on your quote before you order, and shipping across Alberta follows production.
