Industries We Serve in Vancouver
Every industry asks something different of a part. We help Vancouver teams match the design, material, and manufacturing process to the job it needs to do.
3D Printing for Vancouver's Manufacturing Landscape
Metro Vancouver brings together clean technology developers, hardware designers, and film production teams. Their projects call for different kinds of physical models: an enclosure that fits a new energy monitoring device, a handheld product ready for user feedback, or a prop with details that need to read clearly on camera.
Forge Labs gives these teams a way to explore form as well as function. Our SLA 3D printing captures fine features and smooth surfaces for presentation models, enclosure prototypes, and prop masters. Testing the shape in person makes it easier to refine a grip, adjust an assembly, or prepare a design for painting and finishing.

Design to test loop
Test the real part, then order the next one
The quickest way to settle a fit or feel question is to hold the part. Because these parts are made in Burnaby, Vancouver teams can quote a revision online, check it against the mating components, and have the next version under way while the findings are still fresh.

One part is enough to learn from
Order a single prototype, try it with the real hardware, and change only what the part tells you to. Rapid prototyping
Every revision keeps its context
Each version is its own order in your account, so the history of a design is there when you compare what changed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our 3D printing services in Vancouver
- Is Forge Labs a Vancouver company?
- Yes. Vancouver is our hometown. Forge Labs is headquartered in Burnaby, and our Burnaby facility is our largest manufacturing site, home to Canada’s largest industrial 3D printing fleet across metal, plastic and resin. Metro Vancouver teams can meet our engineers and pick up parts in person.
- Where can I pick up my 3D printed parts near Vancouver?
- Pick up your finished order at our Burnaby manufacturing facility: 8337 Eastlake Dr #101, Burnaby, BC V5A 4W2. Customer pickup is available Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:30 PM Pacific.
- Which 3D printing technologies are available at your Burnaby facility?
- Our Burnaby facility houses Canada’s largest industrial 3D printing fleet, covering metals, plastics, and resins. Choose from SLS, MJF, SLA, FDM, PolyJet, and DMLS metal 3D printing to match your part’s function, detail, and finish.
- How do I choose a material for my Vancouver 3D printing project?
- Start with what your part needs to do: withstand a load, fit an assembly, reproduce fine detail, or achieve a particular finish. Upload your design for an online quote and compare material options. Our team can help you select a plastic, resin, or metal for your prototype or production parts.
- How quickly can you manufacture my parts in Burnaby?
- Production lead times start from 1 day, depending on the process, material, part geometry, quantity, and finishing requirements. Check the available lead times when quoting your design. Production time is separate from shipping time; local pickup is available when your order is ready.
- Can I order a single prototype before a production run?
- Yes. Order a prototype to check fit, function, or appearance before choosing a larger quantity. Local manufacturing and pickup in Burnaby make it easier to get the part in hand, test it in your assembly, and refine your next design.
- Do you ship to Vancouver and elsewhere in BC?
- Yes. Choose shipping to your address or pickup at our Burnaby facility. Next-day shipping across BC is an option after production; confirm the delivery service and timing for your destination when placing your order.
