Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

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.

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.

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 parts
  • Flow 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.

  • Product 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.

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 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.

Industry Focus

Energy & Oil Gas in Calgary

Calgary's energy sector utilizes 3D printing for custom drilling equipment, pipeline components, and specialized tools that withstand extreme pressures and temperatures in oil & gas operations.
