About Forge3D

Your ideas, made real in 3D.

Forge3D is an Irish 3D printing business. We design and make custom 3D-printed products for individual customers and for small and medium-sized businesses.

You can bring us a name, a photo, a logo or just an idea. We will help you turn it into something practical and good-looking that you can hold, use, display or give as a gift.

Our story

Forge3D started with a simple idea: personal gifts and branded products should be easy to get, made with care, and made close to home. What began as a passion for 3D printing has grown into a business making custom pieces for customers and businesses across Ireland.

What we make

Personalised gifts

Illuminated name designs, name art with storage boxes, name tags and keepsakes made with the names and details that matter to you.

Lithophanes

Your photos printed in 3D. When light shines through, the image appears. Available in different styles.

Figurines, miniatures and collectibles

Figurines, miniatures and desk collectibles for display, gifts or collections.

Home and office décor

Decorative prints, display items and practical pieces for your home or desk.

Smart products with NFC and QR

Items with a built-in NFC tag or QR code. One tap or scan can open your website, social media, contact details or menu.

Remote-control and functional products

Business and branded products

For businesses

We work with small and medium-sized businesses that want branded or custom products without ordering huge quantities. We can help with:

  • •Branded items: products with your logo, colours and brand style
  • •Small-batch production: short runs, from a few pieces to larger orders
  • •Promotional and event items: badges, pins, name tags and giveaways
  • •Display and retail items: signs, stands and display pieces
  • •NFC and QR products: smart business cards, table signs and review stands that link customers to your page
  • •Prototypes and custom parts: one-off pieces to test an idea before a bigger run

Every business order gets a clear quote, with the price, quantity and timing agreed before we start.

Materials and quality

We print with PLA (Pure, Matte, Silk+), PETG (Basic and Matte), ABS, and other similar filaments. Each item is checked before it is packed.

Because every item is 3D printed, you may see fine layer lines or small differences in colour and finish. These are a natural part of the process and give each piece its own character.

Frequently asked questions

Turnaround, materials, custom work and delivery, answered in plain language.

Most pieces are made to order and dispatched 24 to 48 hours after printing is finished, with delivery taking 2 to 4 business days. Custom and personalised designs, such as lithophanes or name art, can take a little longer because we send you a preview to approve first.

Filament spools in cream, sand and terracotta stacked on a workshop shelf

We print with PLA (Pure, Matte and Silk+), PETG (Basic and Matte), ABS and similar filaments, chosen to suit each piece. Every item is checked by hand before it is packed, and fine layer lines are a normal part of 3D printing.

PLA / PETG / ABS

Finished 3D printed pieces on a workshop bench in a small Irish studio

Yes. Every Forge3D piece is designed and printed in our own studio in Ireland, and we are a registered Irish business. Nothing is imported from a print farm abroad.

Yes, custom work is most of what we do. Send us a name, photo, logo or just a rough idea and we will advise on size, colour, quantity and timing. For custom designs we send you a preview to approve before anything is printed.

Names / photos / logos

A backlit lithophane panel glowing warm on a windowsill

A lithophane is your photo printed into a thin panel: when light shines behind it, the image appears in fine detail. Choose your photo, pick a standard frame or a letter frame from A to Z, and we print, finish and pack it as a gift-ready piece.
