Why Forge Labs
We know Tasmania is not the mainland, and we plan for it
Honest freight pricing and clear timelines before you commit.
Upfront freight pricing
A lot of Tasmanian businesses get burned by mainland suppliers who quietly bump up freight costs once they find out where the parts are going. We do not do that. We tell you the freight cost upfront, we tell you how long it will take, and we stick to it.
Standard courier
Standard courier from our workshops to Hobart typically takes two to four business days depending on the service level you choose.
Express air freight
If you need it faster, we offer an express air freight option that can get urgent parts to you sooner. Either way, you will know the cost and the timeline before you commit to anything.
Smart order batching
We also batch orders smartly where we can, so you are not paying mainland-to-island freight rates for a single small bracket when it could easily travel with other jobs.
Genuine engineering review
We are Australian owned and operated, not a reseller for an overseas printing farm, and every order gets a genuine engineering review before it goes into production.
Confidential by default
Sensitive project? We are happy to sign an NDA before you send us anything, and we treat every client's files as confidential by default, not just when asked.
Our Workflow
How your Hobart order actually runs
Send us your file
You send us your file, whether that is a CAD model, an STL, a sketch or even just a description of the problem you are trying to solve.
Free engineering review
We review it for free, checking wall thickness, tolerances and the best material for the job, then send back a clear quote with pricing and a realistic delivery date.
Print or machine
Once you approve it, we print or machine the part on calibrated industrial equipment at our NSW workshops.
Pack and deliver
We pack it properly for the trip across Bass Strait and get it moving, with tracking so you know exactly where it is.

What we deliver
What we can print and make for you
Here is a simple way to think about which process fits your job.
We run FDM, SLA, SLS, MJF and metal 3D printing in house, along with CNC machining, injection moulding, 3D scanning, laser engraving and CAD design. That means you get one supplier for the whole job instead of juggling three different companies for printing, machining and finishing.
- FDM is tough, affordable and great for brackets, jigs, housings and functional prototypes that need to survive real use.
- SLA gives you smooth, highly detailed parts, ideal for presentation models, master patterns and anything where surface finish matters.
- SLS and MJF produce strong, complex parts without needing support structures, which makes them a good fit for functional end use parts and more intricate geometries.
- Metal 3D printing is for parts that need to handle serious mechanical or thermal loads, where plastic simply will not cut it.
- If you are not sure which one your project needs, just tell us what the part does and we will recommend the right process and material. That is included in every quote, free of charge.

What it actually costs
Pricing depends on the process, the material, the size of the part and how many you need, but here is a realistic starting point so you are not guessing.
Process and material
Small FDM parts in standard plastic often start from around fifty to a few hundred dollars. SLA and more detailed resin parts usually sit a bit higher due to the finishing involved. SLS, MJF and metal parts cost more per part but are often the right call when strength or complex geometry matters more than unit price. There is no minimum order quantity, so a single prototype costs the same fair price as it should, not a padded "small job surcharge."
A clear quote
The best way to get an exact number is to send us your file. We will come back with a proper quote within four business hours, broken down so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

Industries we serve
Built for the industries that actually run Tasmania
Tasmania's economy looks different to the mainland, and we have made sure our service actually understands that instead of pretending Hobart is just another postcode.
Aquaculture and salmon farming
Tasmania produces the overwhelming majority of Australia's Atlantic salmon, and the industry supports thousands of jobs across the Huon and Tasman regions. Salmon and oyster operations need parts that can handle constant exposure to salt water, UV and rough handling. We print in materials like ASA and nylon that hold up far better than standard plastics in these conditions, and we can produce feed system components, sensor housings and custom fittings on short notice.
Antarctic and Southern Ocean science
Hobart is Australia's gateway to Antarctica, home to the icebreaker RSV Nuyina and a hub for research groups working on Southern Ocean science. These teams often need one-off instrument housings, custom rigs and replacement parts fast, without the six week wait that comes with ordering from overseas. We can turn around prototype and small batch parts quickly enough to keep research timelines on track.
Marine and defence shipbuilding
Hobart's shipbuilding precinct has built vessels used around the world, including defence platforms. Shipyards need jigs, brackets, fixtures and prototype components that are accurate and durable. We work with NDA agreements where required and handle sensitive designs with the same care as any defence supplier should.
Mining, agriculture and forestry
When a piece of machinery breaks down in a mine, on a farm or in a timber operation, waiting weeks for a replacement part is not an option. We can often reverse engineer a broken or discontinued part from a photo, a scan or the physical item itself, then print or machine a replacement that fits first time.
Engineering, architecture, medical, dental and education
We also support the everyday work that keeps Tasmanian businesses moving. Architectural scale models, engineering prototypes, medical and dental models, and teaching aids for schools and universities all come through our workshops regularly.
