Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
SLS suits engineering teams that need parts to behave like production components from the first build. Nylon enclosure prototypes, cable guides and mounting hardware come out tough enough for bench testing and field trials, and the same file reorders as a small production run once the design settles.
Learn moreLearn more about Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)MJF produces batches of detailed plastic parts without tooling, which suits hardware programs that revise often. Print a dozen enclosures for a test build this month and a hundred next month from the same file, with the crisp features and consistent walls that make assembly predictable.
Learn moreLearn more about Multi-Jet Fusion (MJF)FDM covers large thermoplastic parts and the fixtures that support testing and assembly, from antenna mounts to bench jigs. Engineering thermoplastics including ULTEM handle higher temperatures than standard plastics, so instrument housings can be prototyped in a material close to the intended production grade.
Learn moreLearn more about Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)SLA is the process for fit checks, presentation models and optical or fluid features that need a smooth, detailed surface. Clear resin parts let engineers see how light or liquid moves through a design, and a fine-featured model checks button spacing and connector access before a tooling order.
Learn moreLearn more about Stereolithography (SLA)DMLS makes metal parts when a prototype has to be tested at real loads and temperatures. Aluminum, stainless steel and titanium components with internal channels or thin lattice sections come straight from the file and are finished and inspected to the drawing you supply.

Ottawa engineering and research teams get Canadian manufacturing that follows their documented requirements, from a single prototype to a production run built to drawing. Online quoting gives a price and lead time up front, engineering support helps settle material and process questions, and finished parts ship to the National Capital Region and across Eastern Ontario.
Prototyping and production run on the same processes, so a design can be checked, revised and released without switching suppliers. Send drawings with the model and we build to the tolerances and finishes they call out, with inspection evidence added when an Ottawa project needs its results documented.
Nylon and MJF housings for radios, sensors and photonics modules, with threaded inserts installed and connector cutouts checked against the board before the batch runs.
MJF 3D printingFDM holders, cable guides and alignment jigs that keep boards and optics in place during testing, reprinted whenever the hardware revision changes.
FDM 3D printingStainless steel and titanium brackets and heat sinks built to drawing for parts headed into bench and environmental testing.

Step 01
Automated file checks before production
Drop your CAD files and receive immediate manufacturability feedback. Critical geometry and wall checks run as soon as files are uploaded.
Rapid prototyping to full-scale production, our systems keep programs moving while the same engineers guide each phase. Upload files for instant quotes or collaborate with our team to select the right mix of 3D printing materials and technologies for your build. Every build follows the same validated path: intake, qualification, automated production, and inspection, so your prototypes hand off to production without rework.
Forge Labs Steam orchestrates quoting, manufacturability feedback, and order execution, but every part still meets our quality lab before it ships. Automation accelerates the paperwork; engineers close the loop with metrology, documentation, and cosmetic sign-off.
Steam DFM intelligence flags risks instantly while our manufacturing engineers adjust builds, tooling, and documentation to keep production compliant across repeat runs.
Traceability with controlled document revisions and corrective actions tracked on every order.
ISO-2859 sampling plans and Cp/Cpk monitoring keep production builds within spec.
Dimensional and functional validation before we transition any build into sustained production.
Engineers oversee every build from start to finish.
GR&R qualified metrology delivers CAD-overlaid reports and revision history for auditors.
Surface, color, and assembly checks confirm presentation-ready hardware every shipment.
Talk with our manufacturing engineers
Bring your next program into Forge Labs Steam, from prototype intake to sustained production with audit-ready quality.
Engineering, procurement, and operations teams use Forge Labs Steam to upload CAD, run instant manufacturability checks, and lock pricing in seconds without inbox tag or manual back-and-forth.
Every industry asks something different of a part. We help Ottawa teams match the design, material, and manufacturing process to the job it needs to do.
Ottawa's communications technology sector connects electronics design with the practical work of building hardware. Across Kanata and the wider capital region, telecom and photonics projects need enclosures, mounting hardware, and test setups that accommodate changing boards, connectors, and optical components. Small mechanical details can determine whether a design is straightforward to assemble and service.
Forge Labs supports that development work with SLS 3D printing for nylon enclosure prototypes, cable guides, and custom holders for bench testing. Engineers can check connector access and component clearances in a physical assembly, then adjust the CAD design as the electronics evolve.
