Engineering-Grade 3D Printing Technologies & Materials
We don't just print parts; we deliver industrial-level precision and functional integrity tailored for demanding applications. Our facility is equipped with a diverse range of additive manufacturing technologies—including SLA for high-detail, FDM for strength, and SLS for end-use nylon parts. We consult on the optimal engineering-grade material—from ABS and Nylon to rigid resins—ensuring your prototype or final component meets the exact thermal, mechanical, and environmental specifications of your project.
FDM 3D Printing
We utilize engineering-grade FDM printers capable of reaching high nozzle temperatures for advanced materials. This allows us to work with high-performance filaments like Carbon Fiber Reinforced ABS, Nylon, and PEEK. Our capacity includes a build volume of 256mm x 265 mm for single extrusion, and an industrial size of 350mm x 350mm for dual extrusion parts, enabling super-fast printing of large, functional components.
High Strength-to-Weight: Ideal for functional use
Large Build Volume: For big prototypes or tools
Cost-Effective Production: Great for low-to-mid volume
Diverse Material Options: Wide range of properties
SLA/Resin: High-Resolution 3D Printing
When your project demands exceptional accuracy and a flawless surface finish, our Stereolithography (SLA) process is the ideal choice. SLA uses a high-precision laser to cure liquid resins, resulting in models with incredibly fine details and a mirror-smooth aesthetic perfect for client presentations, investment pitches, and fit-and-finish validation. We offer a wide variety of engineering resins, including tough, flexible, and high-temp options.
Exceptional Detail: Captures complex geometry
Showroom Quality: Flawless, smooth surface finish
Aesthetic Prototypes: Ideal for marketing and display
Isotropic Properties: Predictable material performance
Consumer & Hobbyist 3D Printing: Volume Orders & Personal Projects
Need a large batch of custom products, game pieces, or promotional items? We welcome high-volume consumer and hobbyist orders with fast turnaround times and competitive pricing. This service is ideal for clients requiring 100 to 500+ parts in common materials like PLA and PETG. If your focus is affordability, aesthetics, or large-quantity parts that don't require engineering-grade certification, we have efficient workflows designed for your needs.
Fast, Affordable Batch Printing & Pricing Tiers
Our dedicated high-volume service is built for entrepreneurs and hobbyists requiring 100 to 500+ parts. We focus on keeping our process affordable and quick so you can meet your inventory or project deadlines. While this tier uses economical, fast-printing materials like PLA and PETG, every batch undergoes our strict quality inspection and is 100% guaranteed against printing defects. We offer generous price breaks at key order size milestones, making it simple and cost-effective to scale your project.
Key Features
100% Guaranteed Quality: Every part inspected.
Significant Cost Savings: Affordability at volume.
Fast Batch Turnaround: Quickly meet inventory needs.
Free Quote: Simple, no-obligation pricing.
The DesignForge Difference: Beyond the Print Button
At DesignForge Engineering, we don't just process a file; we provide the 20+ years of shop floor experience needed to guarantee success.
Consult-First DFM Process
We don't just print your file; we optimize it first. Our DFM process checks for wall thickness, assembly fit, and tolerance issues to ensure your prototype is a production-ready component—not just a model—eliminating expensive rework later.
Decades of Real-World Experience
Your project benefits directly from over two decades of hands-on experience in manufacturing across the energy, aerospace, and consumer goods sectors. We anticipate complex challenges and apply proven engineering knowledge to your unique design.
Accelerated Path to Market
By solving manufacturing challenges at the design stage, we drastically reduce your development cycle. This consulting-first approach accelerates your transition from a CAD file to a final, successful product, giving your business a true competitive edge.
