Rapid Prototyping Services for Functional & Engineering Prototypes
Rapid prototyping services for Australian businesses, engineers and product teams. Forge Labs turns your CAD or sketch into functional and engineering prototypes fast — using SLA, FDM, SLS and MJF 3D printing — so you can test fit, form and function and iterate your 3D printed prototypes without committing to tooling.
Typical projects start from $500+ · Engineering & business enquiries welcome · Upload CAD, STEP & STL files for review
Manufactured in
Sydney, Australia · Quality-checked on every job
Why Forge Labs
Why prototype with Forge Labs
Fast, iterative 3D printed prototypes — with the engineering judgement to pick the right process every time.
Days, Not Weeks
Most rapid prototypes ship next-business-day; same-day pickup is available from our Sydney workshops.
Iterate Freely
Zero tooling means each design revision costs the price of a part — not a mould — so you can refine fast.
Functional Parts
Engineering thermoplastics and tough resins produce prototypes strong enough for real-world fit and function testing.
Right Process Picked
We match FDM, SLA, SLS or MJF to your goal — visual model, functional test or pre-production sample.
Engineering Review
Every prototype gets a free DFM check on wall thickness, tolerances and orientation before it prints.
Our Workflow
From concept to prototype in 4 steps
A repeatable workflow built for fast iteration, with engineering review baked in.
Upload your concept
Send a STEP, STL or sketch — our team will model it for you if you don't have CAD yet.
Quote & advice
We return a quote within 4 business hours with the best process and material for the prototype's purpose.
Print & finish
Prototypes are produced on calibrated industrial machines, then support-removed and finished as needed.
Test & iterate
Get parts in hand, test the design, and send revisions — we turn the next iteration around fast.

What we deliver
Functional prototypes, ready to test
FDM · SLA · SLS · HP MJF · Continuous Carbon Fibre
Rapid prototyping is about learning quickly. We produce prototypes that are accurate enough to validate fit and function — not just look the part — so every iteration moves your design forward. Choosing the right process and material is the most important decision on any prototype, and we make that call in writing on every quote.
