About ForgeMotion Labs
Curated component kits for open-source robotics projects. We handle the sourcing so you can focus on building.
Our Story
We founded ForgeMotion Labs because we kept hitting the same wall: we'd find an amazing open-source robotics project on GitHub, get excited to build it, then spend weeks hunting components across eight different suppliers. So we did the sourcing work once and made it available to everyone. Now we take the BOMs from popular open-source robotics projects, source every component, 3D-print the structural parts in our shop, and package it all into composable kits.
Our Mission
Make open-source robotics buildable. Source the components, print the structure, verify against the BOM, ship the whole thing in one box.
The hard work on these designs already happened upstream. Our job is to remove the logistics between a good design and a built robot.
Our Vision
A world where starting an open-source robotics project is as simple as ordering one kit, not hunting across ten suppliers for thirty components.
More completed builds means more contributors, more forks, more innovation. We grow when open source grows.
Quality & Sourcing
In-house 3D printing and vetted component sourcing for open-source robotics kits.
In-House 3D Printing
Structural and mechanical parts are 3D-printed in our shop using engineering-grade materials. Every printed component is checked for fit and function against the original project design before it goes into a kit.
Vetted Component Sourcing
Electronics, motors, fasteners, and hardware are sourced from authorized distributors — no gray-market parts. Every component is verified against the original project BOM for compatibility. We handle the multi-vendor logistics so you don't have to.
Our Values
Open-Source Philosophy
We don't own the designs — we kit them. Every product includes full attribution to original creators, with links to source repositories and documentation. We support open-source communities by making their projects easier to build.
Curation Over Quantity
We don't carry everything. We carry the right things — vetted components matched to real BOMs from real projects. If we haven't built it ourselves, we don't kit it.
Community First
We grow when open-source projects grow. Every kit links upstream to the original creators, their documentation, and their community — where the real work happens.
Our Team
ForgeMotion Labs is led by makers and robotics enthusiasts who got tired of the BOM sourcing nightmare and decided to fix it for everyone.
We build the projects we kit. That hands-on experience is what drives our component selection, quality checks, and the documentation we include with every order.
Want to kit a project we haven't covered?
Send us the BOM. We evaluate new projects every month based on design quality, community, and sourceability.
