CAD-Assisted Design
Turn sketches, measurements, reference parts, or existing files into practical, manufacturable 3D models.
Services
Design support, prototyping, and practical FDM production.
Start with a problem, reference part, sketch, or file. Forged in 3D helps define a realistic solution and move it through CAD, physical testing, and an approved final build.
Rapid Prototyping
Move from an early concept to a physical test part quickly, then revise around real fit, function, and feedback.
Replacement Parts
Recreate unavailable or damaged non-safety-critical plastic components with application-appropriate geometry.
Jigs & Fixtures
Improve alignment, labeling, assembly, staging, and repeatability with purpose-built manufacturing aids.
Functional FDM Parts
Produce brackets, mounts, enclosures, spacers, organizers, and other durable parts for real working environments.
Small-Batch Production
Create repeatable low-volume runs with defined materials, documented revisions, and practical quality checks.
Working capability
Clear expectations before a project begins.
These are practical launch guidelines—not blanket promises. Final material, schedule, quantity, and inspection requirements are confirmed after the application and files are reviewed.
Materials
PETG and PLA are proven core materials. ASA, ABS, TPU, reinforced polymers, and additional application-appropriate thermoplastics can be sourced and qualified by project.
Part size
Single-piece parts can be produced up to approximately 256 × 256 × 260 mm depending on geometry, material, tool configuration, and orientation. Larger assemblies may be segmented and joined.
Turnaround
Many print-ready prototype parts can be scheduled in roughly 5–7 business days. Design-intensive, reverse-engineered, multi-part, and production-quantity work receives a project-specific schedule.
Production quantity
One-off prototypes through repeatable low-volume runs. Practical quantity and delivery cadence are reviewed from geometry, material, print time, inspection, and current capacity.
Accepted files
STEP/STP, Fusion 360 F3D/F3Z, and 3MF are preferred. STL, OBJ, DXF, DWG, and PDF drawings are also accepted.
No finished CAD?
Physical samples, measurements, photographs, sketches, and the mating hardware can be reviewed for design or reverse-engineering projects.
Project fit
Clear boundaries build better outcomes.
Early project review is used to confirm that FDM is appropriate, the service expectations are realistic, and the requested part does not cross a safety or qualification boundary.
- Non-safety-critical plastic components and manufacturing aids
- Project quantities reviewed against current production capacity
- Materials selected around environment, fit, and practical use
- No implied aerospace, medical, structural, or life-safety qualification
