KAPU SOLUTIONS · ON-DEMAND US MANUFACTURING

One network for every part you need to make.

FORGE is a vetted network of US manufacturing shops — CNC, metal additive, polymer and resin printing under one roof. Post a job, fund it, get parts shipped. Scale from a single prototype to a production run without re-sourcing.

WHY FORGE

When your line stalls waiting on a part, the bottleneck isn’t engineering — it’s your supply chain. FORGE shortens it from weeks to hours by routing each job to vetted US shops with the right process, materials, and capacity — so production speed keeps pace with your team.

CAPABILITY

One source for
every process. One job board.

Most shops do one thing. FORGE routes across the whole network, so a single requisition can span machined metal, printed polymer, and finished assemblies — sourced, tracked, and paid through one platform. No re-quoting, no second vendor.

CAP-01
CNC Machining
3- and 5-axis milling and turning in aluminum, steel, titanium, and engineering plastics. Tight-tolerance production parts and fixtures.
5-AXIS TURNING ±0.001"
CAP-02
Metal Additive
DMLS and SLS metal printing for complex geometries, lightweighting, and consolidated assemblies that can't be machined in one piece.
DMLS SLS ALLOY
CAP-03
Polymer & Resin
FDM, SLA, and SLS in production-grade polymers — from rapid prototypes to functional end-use parts, jigs, and enclosures.
FDM SLA NYLON
CAP-04
Finishing & Post
Anodizing, media blasting, heat treat, tapping, and inspection — chained onto the production job so parts arrive ready to install.
ANODIZE HEAT TREAT QC
CAP-05
Scale on Demand
Spin one prototype, then re-run the same spec at volume across multiple shops in parallel. Capacity flexes with your roadmap.
1–10K UNITS PARALLEL
CAP-06
Materials Breadth
Engineering thermoplastics, metal alloys, composites, and specialty resins — sourced with lot traceability on every job.
ALLOYS COMPOSITES LOT-TRACE
THE FLOW

From CAD file to delivery in six steps.

STEP 01 / 06
Create your account
Email and company name. Commercial accounts are active immediately — browse the template library before you post.
STEP 02 / 06
Post a job
Pick a template or upload CAD (STL, STEP, OBJ, 3MF). Set material, tolerance, quantity, delivery window, and budget.
STEP 03 / 06
Fund the job
Pay by card through Stripe. Funds are held in escrow and the job goes live to vetted operators the moment payment clears.
STEP 04 / 06
An operator accepts
Vetted shops see the job on their board. The first to accept commits to the spec and timeline. You get their profile and equipment list.
STEP 05 / 06
Production + QC
The operator produces and submits a QC packet — photos, dimensional measurements, and material-lot receipts.
STEP 06 / 06
Confirm delivery
Parts arrive matching spec, you confirm, and payment releases to the operator. Leave a rating for next time.
