SLS produces durable nylon parts for the hands-on testing that equipment projects demand: guards, brackets, housings and handles that get bolted on and used. Because the same process serves prototype and production, an Edmonton team can validate a design in the field and then order a repeat run unchanged.

Parts made to your specification, finished and ready to use
Equipment builders, researchers and product teams around Edmonton need parts that match the job, whether that is one tough replacement component or a batch of a few hundred housings. Share the model and how the part will be used, and we choose material, process and finish to suit, then build the run to that spec.

Industries We Serve in Edmonton
Every industry asks something different of a part. We help Edmonton teams match the design, material, and manufacturing process to the job it needs to do.
3D Printing for Edmonton's Manufacturing Landscape
Edmonton's manufacturing businesses support energy projects, industrial equipment, and plant operations across Alberta. Work in machinery and fabrication shops often calls for parts made around an existing assembly: a guide that follows an unusual profile, a holder for an inspection step, or a model used to plan an equipment change.
Forge Labs offers FDM 3D printing for custom assembly aids, positioning fixtures, and full-size fit-check models. Printing a tool directly from CAD lets a team try it at the workbench and refine how it locates or supports a component before putting the design into regular use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our 3D printing services in Edmonton
- Do you make machine guards and covers for Edmonton plants?
- Yes. Guards, covers and housings are printed in nylon or ASA and shaped around the existing machine, so they fit without modifying it. When the equipment changes, a new guard prints from the revised file.
- Can you make parts that follow an unusual profile on existing equipment?
- Guides, holders and grips can be modelled around the equipment they attach to and printed without tooling, in nylon for durability or TPU 88A where a softer contact surface is needed. Single parts and short runs need no tooling.
- Are parts for Northern Alberta made in Canada?
- Yes. Forge Labs is a Canadian company, and Edmonton orders come from Western Canadian manufacturing, part of Canada's largest industrial 3D printing fleet. Finished parts ship next day across Alberta once production is complete.
- When should I choose metal brackets over nylon?
- Choose aluminum or stainless steel DMLS brackets when the part carries a high load, sits near heat or needs a metal fastener interface; pocketed and lattice designs keep them light. Nylon brackets are faster for lighter duty. Metal lead times start from four business days.
- Can I reorder the same part later?
- Yes. Reorder from your order history in Forge Labs Steam, and the part prints from the same file and settings as the last lot, so a replacement guard or bracket matches the one already on the machine.
