The Evolution of Manufacturingfor Industrial 3D Printing
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
SLS supports durable nylon parts with the geometry freedom and mechanical performance teams need to move quickly into functional testing and production. For product teams balancing speed, strength, and design freedom, SLS delivers one of the most versatile industrial 3D printing workflows available. It is especially effective for housings, brackets, ducting, snap fits, and end-use nylon assemblies that need to perform beyond the prototype stage.

Capability across polymer, composite, and metal 3D printing
Our 3D printing capabilities are built around how parts actually get used. SLS and MJF support durable nylon components for production and prototyping. SLA and PolyJet handle presentation surfaces, detail, and accuracy. FDM covers larger thermoplastic parts and tooling. DMLS supports metal parts where weight, strength, and complex geometry matter.
Quote, configure, and order 3D printed parts in one platform
Forge Labs Steam makes industrial 3D printing easier to quote, configure, and order. Upload parts, choose from 30+ materials, configure finishing and secondary operations, get instant pricing and lead-time feedback, and collaborate with our team when a project needs engineering review or manual quoting.
Upload 3D files and assemblies
Start a 3D printing quote by uploading single parts or full assemblies. Steam keeps geometry, revisions, and file context organized so your team can review manufacturability without extra handoff.
- Supports STEP, STL, IGES, OBJ, and 3MF for industrial 3D printing workflows.
- Assembly uploads keep related components grouped for quoting and review.
- File versions stay visible so engineering and sourcing are aligned from the first quote.
Review manufacturability for 3D printing
Steam surfaces common additive manufacturing risks before production, helping your team evaluate wall thickness, trapped volumes, unsupported features, and geometry issues early.
- Instant DFM insight helps match geometry to SLS, SLA, FDM, MJF, or DMLS.
- Visual analysis flags areas that may affect printability, finish, or part strength.
- Engineering review stays tied to the quote so revisions move faster.
Compare technologies, materials, and lead times
Switch between industrial 3D printing technologies, material options, finishes, and turnaround speeds while pricing updates in real time for your specific part geometry.
- Compare nylon, resin, composite, and metal options in one quoting flow.
- See how process selection changes price, lead time, and performance fit.
- Build repeatable quote configurations for recurring production parts.
Track production through delivery
Once approved, your 3D printing order moves through production, finishing, inspection, and shipping with live updates visible in the same workspace.
- Keep engineering, procurement, and operations aligned on status in real time.
- Production milestones reduce follow-up emails and quoting friction.
- Shipping visibility closes the loop from uploaded CAD to delivered parts.

Additive vs Traditional Manufacturing
Understanding the fundamental differences between additive manufacturing and conventional subtractive processes helps identify the optimal approach for your application requirements.
| Aspect | Additive Manufacturing | Traditional Machining |
|---|---|---|
| Design Freedom | Complex internal geometries, lattice structures, topology optimization | Limited by tool access, requires assembly for complex forms |
| Lead Times | 24-48 hours from CAD to part | Weeks for tooling design and manufacturing |
| Material Waste | Near-zero waste, unused powder recyclable | Significant material removal and waste |
| Customization | Each part can be unique at no extra cost | Tooling changes required for variations |
Both technologies excel in different scenarios. Our engineering team can help determine the optimal approach for your specific requirements.
