Dual Gantry Trident – Coming Soon
The forge is officially lit.
Today marks the start of active development on the NorthForge3D Trident — our dual-gantry proof-of-concept platform and the machine that will shape the engineering foundations of the upcoming NorthForge3D Deuce.
This isn’t a kit, a mod, or a remix.
The Trident is our motion laboratory: a place to experiment, refine, and perfect the behaviors that will define a next-generation North American 3D printer.
What You Can Expect
- Frequent development logs right here on the site
- Open GitHub commits as the gantry, motion system, and electronics take shape
- A full YouTube build series once hardware arrives
- The ability to follow every step, from CAD concepts to synchronized dual-gantry motion
- Future Trident kits, so the community can build, test, and experiment alongside us
Why Start Here?
The Deuce will be a fully enclosed, production-grade IDEX machine — but before we get there, we need a platform designed for rapid iteration, high-speed testing, and aggressive motion experimentation.
That platform is the NorthForge3D Trident.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be:
- Designing two separate gantry variants
- Building and testing each outside of a full printer
- Refining belt paths, bearings, and toolhead choreography
- Publishing every breakthrough publicly
The entire process is open.
Every commit. Every log entry. Every step forward.

Watch the fire grow.
