Welcome to Kerfstone
Digital Manufacturing
Kerfstone Digital Manufacturing operates the ForgeLink Advanced Digital Manufacturing & Workforce Innovation Center in Central Florida, offering integrated education and production technology for U.S. designers, small and medium manufacturers, educators, and creative professionals.
Workforce Innovation Academy
Our Workforce Innovation Academy delivers a structured four-week certification program covering digital manufacturing fundamentals, precision fabrication, AI-integrated automation workflows, and e-commerce operations, available as an onsite intensive or online program.
Forgelink Manufacturing Platform
Graduates continue as active participants through the ForgeLink Manufacturing-as-a-Service platform, a proprietary software suite providing AI-assisted design tools and on-demand production capacity via annual licenses for individual users or or small manufacturers.
Digital Manufacturing
The digital manufacturing industry is an increasingly important sector in the US economy. It is the integration of digital design, automation, and intelligent software with physical production processes to deliver precision-made goods on demand.
Reshoring American Production
As U.S. manufacturers work to reduce dependence on foreign supply chains, digital manufacturing provides the domestic production capability needed to bring fabrication back to American soil.
Small Business Competitiveness
Digital fabrication tools and Manufacturing-as-a-Service platforms allow small and medium manufacturers to access precision production capacity without the capital investment previously required to compete at scale.
Workforce Development
Advanced digital manufacturing requires a skilled technician pipeline capable of operating AI-integrated workflows, automated production systems, and precision fabrication equipment, a growing priority for the U.S. economy.
On-Demand Production & E-Commerce
The convergence of digital fabrication and e-commerce enables U.S. designers and manufacturers to deliver custom, on-demand products directly to domestic and international markets with speed and accuracy.
The ForgeLink Digital Platform
ForgeLink is a proprietary Manufacturing-as-a-Service platform providing AI-driven design tools, precision workflow automation, and access to on-demand production capacity to U.S. designers, creative professionals, educators, and small manufacturers.
Available under two license tier options, the platform also hosts a certified provider network through which Academy graduates and licensed users deliver production services and grow their practices.
"Designers and small manufacturers are learning digital fabrication from software manuals and published standards when they actually need access to knowledge that only comes off a production floor. Kerfstone closes that gap."
