SLS turns a demanding design into a durable nylon part that can be handled, assembled and tested straight away. Living hinges, snap fits and thin walls print reliably, which is why product teams use it for functional prototypes and then keep the same process for repeat production.

MJF suits batches of plastic parts where fine detail and consistent walls matter, such as enclosures, connectors and small mechanisms. No tooling means the first batch of fifty follows the same logic as a batch of five hundred, and design changes between runs need only a new file.
- Build volume
- 380 x 284 x 380 mm

FDM builds large thermoplastic parts in one piece, along with the jigs, fixtures and tooling that a Montreal shop floor relies on every day. Engineering thermoplastics such as ULTEM bring higher heat resistance for tooling that sits near ovens or hot processes.

SLA gives precision where surface quality is judged by eye and by touch. Fine detail, smooth walls and clear or translucent resins make it the process for presentation models, master patterns and fit checks, with finishes that can be painted or polished for a client review.

DMLS produces metal parts in aluminum, stainless steel and titanium for functional tests and production where a polymer will not hold up. Internal cooling channels, lightweight brackets and consolidated assemblies are built directly from the CAD file, then finished and inspected as the drawing requires.

Made in Canada for Montreal
Montreal design studios, startups and manufacturers get parts made in Canada, from a first prototype to a finished batch. Engineering support helps match precision, material and finish to the project, online quoting shows pricing and lead times before you commit, and completed parts ship across Quebec.

Parts made to your specification, finished and ready to use
Precision starts with the right process and material, and that choice carries from prototype to production so a Montreal project does not change character from the prototype to the production batch. Tell us the tolerances, the surfaces that matter and the finish you expect, and we build the run to that brief.
Drill jigs and assembly fixtures
FDM and nylon fixtures that locate parts for drilling, bonding and inspection, printed to the drawing and replaced when the assembly changes.
FDM 3D printingPresentation and fit models
SLA models with smooth, paint-ready surfaces for design reviews, plus clear resin parts that show internal features to a client or a test panel.
SLA 3D printingHousings with inserts
MJF and nylon housings with threaded inserts installed and bead blasted, ready for screws and boards without secondary work on your bench.

Industries We Serve in Montreal
Every industry asks something different of a part. We help Montreal teams match the design, material, and manufacturing process to the job it needs to do.
3D Printing for Montreal's Manufacturing Landscape
Greater Montreal's aerospace and life sciences sectors bring together equipment manufacturers, engineering teams, and research labs. Beyond the finished aircraft or medical device, development depends on practical parts: inspection fixtures, assembly guides, instrument housings, and models for evaluating how a product will be used.
Forge Labs helps teams develop those supporting parts through FDM 3D printing for thermoplastic tooling and functional prototypes. A fixture shaped around a specific component can simplify positioning during assembly, while a full-size mockup lets engineers check access and handling before finalizing the design.

Discover how 3D printing is transforming manufacturing across all industries in Montreal
Fit and finish
From tested assembly to repeat production
Parts that fit on screen still have to fit in the hand. Order the mating parts together, check how they seat and look, and carry the final material, colour and finish into repeat production for Montreal and Quebec projects.
Appearance is part of the specification
Colour and surface treatments such as painting or vapor smoothing are chosen per part, so the finished look is on the order rather than assumed. Surface finishes

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our 3D printing services in Montreal
- Do you supply fixtures and assembly guides for Montreal aerospace suppliers?
- Yes. FDM and nylon drill jigs, assembly guides and inspection holders are printed to your drawing and locate parts for drilling, bonding and inspection. When the assembly changes, the fixture is reprinted from the new file.
- What can you print for life sciences and medtech teams?
- Instrument housings, fixtures and fit models. SLA gives smooth, paint-ready surfaces, clear resin shows internal features to a test panel, and nylon handles functional housings. Materials with supplier biocompatibility data are available for device work.
- Are parts for Quebec made in Canada?
- Yes. Forge Labs is a Canadian company, and Montreal orders are made in Canada with Canada's largest industrial 3D printing fleet, then shipped next day across Quebec once production is complete.
- Can housings arrive ready to assemble?
- Yes. MJF and nylon housings can be ordered with threaded inserts installed and a bead-blasted finish, so screws and boards go straight in without secondary work on your bench.
- How fast can I get a presentation or fit model?
- Most plastic and resin parts, including SLA presentation models, can be printed in as little as one day. Your online quote shows the available lead times before you order, and shipping time is separate.
