We digitize obsolete mechanical geometry and fabricate structural-grade polymer replacements, instantly bypassing critical supply chain failures.

The Financial Bleed

The True Cost of Backorders.

OEM Vulnerability
Critical Supply Chain Failure

Waiting months for an OEM backorder, or being forced to replace an entire $10,000 assembly over a single shattered plastic gear, is a catastrophic financial bleed.

Engineering Superiority

Adaptive Material Science.

We engineer solutions based on the absolute physical operating environment—heat, impact, and chemical exposure—crushing standard factory ABS specifications.

01
Specification 01

Carbon Fiber Nylon

PA612-CF suspends chopped carbon fiber within a nylon matrix, providing extreme rigidity for massive load-bearing applications.

FORGE PA612-CF120 MPa
FACTORY ABS40 MPa
Financial Outcome Eliminates repeat failures by ensuring zero mechanical shear under factory loads. You stop buying the same broken part.
02
Specification 02

Thermal Annealing

A strict 16-hour thermal processing cycle maximizes polymer crystallization. This process guarantees survival in a hot engine bay.

ANNEALED CF160°C
FACTORY ABS90°C
Financial Outcome Prevents heat-deflection warping, ensuring continuous operation in extreme, high-temperature industrial environments.
03
Specification 03

Hardware Integration

We integrate ultrasonic brass heat-set inserts directly into the matrix for repetitive bolting, refusing to rely on weak plastic threads.

THREAD STRIP RESISTANCEM6 BRASS
Financial Outcome Flawless, permanent mating to your existing multi-million dollar metal assemblies. No stripped housings.
The Execution Pipeline

How We Rebuild.

01

Analog Metrology

Precision measurement of the failed component to capture physical dimensions. We extract exact geometric data from shattered fragments.

02

Parametric CAD

Digital reconstruction via Onshape. We don't just copy the broken part; we isolate the structural weakness and reinforce the failure points digitally.

03

Rapid Validation

Immediate PLA fit-testing. We produce a rapid physical prototype and mount it on the machine for zero-risk geometric tolerance verification before final material commitment.

04

Final Production

High-temp extrusion of Carbon Fiber Nylon followed by a mandatory 16-hour thermal annealing cycle to guarantee structural integration.

Capital Expense Planning

Transparent Project Billing.

SCOPE RESTRICTION

Do you accept consumer or decorative prints?

No. Forge exclusively engineers structural, industrial-grade mechanical components. We do not produce toys, models, or aesthetic consumer goods.

SLA LIMITATIONS

Can you expedite the 4-6 day turnaround?

No. While CAD and PLA fit-tests happen rapidly, the final Carbon Fiber part requires a mandatory 16-hour thermal annealing cycle. Physics dictate the schedule.

GEOMETRIC RECONSTRUCTION

What if the part is completely shattered?

We can reconstruct it. If you provide the fragments and the surrounding assembly, we use metrology to establish the mounting points and Parametric CAD to rebuild the geometry.

ZERO-RISK FITMENT GUARANTEE

How do I know it will fit before I pay for Carbon Fiber?

You don't pay for Phase 2 until you physically prove it fits. The Phase 1 Engineering Fee includes up to two rapid PLA fit-test prototypes. We hand you a cheap plastic version of the geometry to mount on your machine. We only execute the high-cost carbon matrix extrusion after you sign off on the dimensional tolerance.

IP OWNERSHIP

What CAD formats do you deliver?

You retain full ownership. We deliver parametric STEP, IGES, and native CAD files upon Phase 1 completion.
