FORMA: A Design Studio for Fabrication & Innovation

FORMA is a design studio that explores the intersection of design and manufacturing, working with both traditional and contemporary fabrication methods. Whether through 3D printing, handcrafted techniques, or hybrid processes, we push materials and forms to create work that is both functional and experimental.

APPROACH

We believe in design as a process, where making and iteration lead to refined, meaningful outcomes. Our work spans:

Prototyping & Product Development • Exploring ideas through rapid iteration and precision manufacturing.

Custom Fabrication • Blending advanced digital techniques with hands-on craftsmanship.

Material Experimentation • Pushing the boundaries of form, function, and process.

Materials

We create our 3D printed products using a blend of PLA and PETG plastic filaments.

Due to the nature of 3D printing, slight imperfections may occur in the final product, such as minor texture variations, small surface marks, or layer lines. These are inherent to the process and do not affect the functionality or overall quality of the item. While every effort is made to ensure a high standard of production, these imperfections should be expected and are considered normal.

PLA (Polylactic Acid)

• Sourced from renewable materials such as cornstarch, sugarcane, or cassava. Our PLA is corn-based, making it both biodegradable and pre-recycled.

• Uses 65% less energy during production compared to traditional virgin plastics.

• Environmentally sustainable when disposed of through composting, incineration, or recycling.

• Can be combined with materials like wood, metal, or coffee for unique printing applications.

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)

• Recyclable through a chemical process that breaks it down to its original form, making it relatively environmentally friendly. However, if discarded improperly, PETG can take years to decompose.

• The addition of glycol (compared to PET) reduces overheating and clouding, allowing for greater precision in printing.

• Food-safe material.

• Fully recyclable.

Manufacturing

At FORMA, 3D printing is at the core of everything we create. It allows us to turn ideas into physical products in just hours, cutting down production time and removing the need for factories or mass manufacturing. All our products are crafted in-house—designed, printed, assembled, and shipped directly from our studio.

Shipping

All of our products are made to order and are typically fulfilled within 2 weeks of order date.

Domestic Shipping (Singapore)

Express shipping (1-2 days) is available for a flat fee of $5.50.

If the item arrives damaged, we’ll arrange for a replacement (e.g. shattered light bulb or a cracked lamp shade).

Returns

Returns or exchanges are only accepted for unused and unaltered products within 7 days of delivery.

Items must be returned in their original packaging.

Refunds will be processed to the original payment method at the original selling price, provided the return is made within 7 days of delivery.

No refunds will be issued for items returned after the 7-day period.
