About

Forecast 3D in Carlsbad — now an ADDMAN Group company following a December 2025 acquisition — operates one of the largest industrial 3D printing fleets in North America from its Rutherford Road production facility. The plant runs Selective Laser Sintering, HP Multi Jet Fusion, Fused Deposition Modeling, and urethane casting lines across a production floor that requires skilled machine operators, positions filled through San Diego workforce channels including Ultimate Staffing Services. More than 30 years of polymer additive-manufacturing experience serve aerospace, defense, automotive, medical-device, and consumer-goods clients moving parts from concept through production-scale output. The ADDMAN acquisition combines Forecast 3D's Carlsbad campus with an existing Southern California facility, creating a regional polymer-manufacturing hub with expanded capacity and faster lead times for high-volume orders. Contracts span prototype development through bridge tooling to full-rate production under one roof, a manufacturing scope requiring comprehensive commercial and product-liability coverage sourced from Carlsbad-based underwriters including Hayek Insurance. The Multi Jet Fusion line produces PA 12 nylon components at layer resolutions of 80 microns with isotropic mechanical properties, achieving tensile strengths above 48 MPa for end-use aerospace and medical-device applications.
