About
Toys, made the long way.
TOYFORGE is a small workshop in Indore. We design, print, finish, and pack original 3D-printed toys — for kids, for STEM learners, and for anyone who wants a physical thing that keeps earning its place on the desk. We named it after the craft itself — forging toys with precision, layer by layer.
Origin
We started TOYFORGE in 2024 with two printers, a folding table, and a lot of late nights. Two years on we are still two people running those same two printers in a rented room above a tailor's shop that opens at eight. Every order still passes through human hands — because there are only four human hands to begin with, and we have no intention of outsourcing the thing we enjoy most.
The first product we put into people's hands was the 12-piece Japanese burr puzzle — an interlocking puzzle with exactly one disassembly sequence and a clearance tolerance we refined over twenty-two test prints. The second was the planetary gear launcher: a pull-cord toy built around a working planetary gearbox that sends a propeller thirty feet. You can read how the burr puzzle was designed, or dig into the gear mechanism.
Craft
Every piece is printed on Bambu X1C machines — tuned, calibrated, and fed filament we have already test-printed with. Our kid-parent range uses food-safe PLA. After the printer is done, every part goes to a hand-finishing bench: supports removed with flush cutters, seams smoothed with a fine file, surfaces checked. Nothing ships before we have held it ourselves.
- Materials
- Food-safe PLA — biodegradable, plant-based, safe for ages 6 and up.
- Sustainability
- Plastic-free packaging. Printed on demand — zero overstock, zero unsold inventory.
- People
- A team of two — designer-printer and finisher-shipper. When we hire, we hire artists, not operators.
Who it is for
The catalogue is dual-voice on purpose. The kid-parent line — the burr puzzle, the gear launcher — is designed for households trying to swap an evening hour of phones for an hour of hands. The reasoning is straightforward: a puzzle that takes twenty minutes to solve the first time, and five minutes the tenth time, keeps working. An app does not.
