Useful parts.
Made with purpose.

Replacing the Unreplaceable – One Functional Print at a Time.

We design and manufacture functional physical products, replacement parts, and custom solutions using practical digital design and additive manufacturing.

01 / About

A small shop solving real problems.

Bill’s Print Forge is a bootstrapped, early-stage product-design and additive-manufacturing business based in Drayton Valley, Alberta.

We focus on useful things: a part that is no longer sold, a simple product that could work better, or a custom item that does not exist yet. Each project starts with the problem, then moves through design, testing, and physical production.

We are building carefully, one practical project at a time.

02 / What we make & do

From an everyday problem
to a working physical part.

01

Replacement parts

Practical replacements for broken, worn, hard-to-find, or discontinued components.

02

Custom products

Purpose-built items shaped around a specific use, fit, or problem.

03

Product design

Digital design, prototyping, testing, and refinement for functional physical products.

04

Additive manufacturing

Small-batch production and one-off functional prints made with real-world use in mind.

03 / Early projects

Work in progress.

Real examples of measuring, designing in Autodesk Fusion, prototyping, and producing functional parts.

Prototypes & final part

Recliner handle replacement

An original handle was measured and modelled, then refined through multiple prototypes before the final functional print.

Measurement & print

Patio chair foot

A fitted replacement developed from measurements, translated into a reinforced digital model, and produced as a physical part.
