Meet some of our friends.
The MagnaCuff
Andrew | Missouri | Occupational Therapist
After years working as an occupational therapist with people with spinal cord injury, Andrew saw that there was a need for a better device to help people eat meals.
Andrew's response was to create The MagnaCuff, a 3D printed magnetized device that allow users to eat meals independently.
"I turned to Forge Friend after running into issues with the original MagnaCuff design, and they far exceeded expectations by not only strengthening the design but enclosing the magnet, making it sleeker, easier to clean, and removing the possibility of the magnet falling off. They consistently provide quality work and are great to collaborate with." - Andrew

Yono Clip
Bob | Georgia | Inventer & Social Entrepreneur
"Our company used at least 10 vendors until I stumbled across Forge Friend at the last minute. Ever since then, Forge Friend has been our go-to service provider. After our Shark Tank appearance, the shipping ports closed leaving a new company like ours out of luck. We fell behind on our promise to our customers because many of our manufacturers were forced to close their doors because of COVID-19. We were left high and dry. Customers were upset and rightfully so. We had to find a solution to the madness. That's where Forge Friend provided a temporary solution. The prints were accurate, solid, and detailed. Forge Friend provides a step above excellence." - Bob
Forge Friend provided 3D printing services until the Yono Clip transitioned into tradition injection molding.
