ForgedLink is a verified manufacturing network connecting industrial manufacturers with specialist additive manufacturing (AM) providers. We eliminate the guesswork from sourcing by combining structured technical briefings, capability verification, and direct connection — so your team sources with certainty, not hope.

Every provider on ForgedLink goes through an application and vetting process before gaining access to the network. We verify their stated capabilities, certifications (ISO 9001, AS9100D, NADCAP, and others), and production history. Verified badges are displayed on provider profiles so you know exactly who you're engaging with before spending a single credit.

The ITB is our AI-assisted job creation wizard. Instead of writing a generic RFQ, you walk through a structured 5-step process that captures geometry, materials, tolerances, and production intent. Our AI then analyses manufacturability, flags risks, and generates a provider-ready summary — giving suppliers the context they need to respond accurately and fast.

Manufacturers choose a subscription plan (Explore, Starter, Pro, or Enterprise) which determines their monthly connection and RFQ allowances. Connections are used when you unlock a provider's full contact details. Providers choose from Starter (free), Pro, or Enterprise tiers — higher tiers unlock priority listing, analytics, and direct messaging. All pricing is shown transparently on our pricing pages.

Yes. The Provider Network is openly browsable — you can view capability summaries, certification badges, and technology specialisms without creating an account. You only need to register to unlock full contact details, post jobs, or submit a technical briefing.

ForgedLink specialises in additive manufacturing — including Metal SLM/DMLS, Polymer SLS/FDM/MJF, DED (Directed Energy Deposition), Binder Jetting, and hybrid processes. Our network spans aerospace, defence, medical, automotive, and industrial sectors. Providers also carry conventional post-processing capabilities including CNC machining, heat treatment, NDT, and quality inspection.

Click Apply as a Provider and complete the application form detailing your capabilities, certifications, and equipment. Our team reviews applications typically within 3–5 business days. Once approved, your profile goes live in the network and you can start receiving enquiries from verified manufacturers.

Yes. ForgedLink incorporates an NDA flow — manufacturers sign a platform-level non-disclosure agreement before unlocking provider contact details. You can also use the ITB's direct invite mode to share your brief with a single, selected provider privately. We do not share your technical data with any third party outside the direct connection you authorise.
