163 Protolabs Testimonials

“I found Protolabs to be very quick, very responsive and very supportive. Their level of service has always been superb.”

“It was an extraordinary engineering challenge that was met by extraordinary service from Protolabs. We appreciated their efficiency, expertise, attention to detail and the speed was something that not many other manufacturers could have achieved. Once we had the material locked in, Protolabs molded the parts and shipped them out to us extremely swiftly."

“Speed and flexibility, being able to deploy different manufacturing options, and a commitment to customer service, are the main reasons we use Protolabs.”

“Our aircraft is always ready to take off and execute a rescue operation within six seconds."

"We have established what I consider to be a very good and mutually beneficial relationship with Protolabs. There are still some cosmetic developments to work on with EasyRide2, but I have absolute confidence that Protolabs will deliver what we need."

“In addition to helping us get a competitive edge in the competition, as an engineering student, it’s really beneficial to me and my teammates to learn from the technical expertise we receive from the support team at Protolabs.”

“Protolabs is a tremendous ally because they enable us to develop and iterate at a much higher speed. Sometimes, we use Protolabs as the manufacturer for a given component for the lifetime of the project because they are so great to work with.”

"This patented system is both a revelation in regenerative medicine and the dream of biomedical scientists. It takes a sample from the patient such as blood, isolates the immune cells, cultures them outside the body in large quantities, and leads them back to fight tumour cells.”

“We knew of no other suppliers who could deliver finished parts within 10 days of transferring the 3D model. Sometimes we would even receive components within five days, if we had opted for this. The process was so simple: I just uploaded my 3D SolidWorks model to the Protolabs website. Almost immediately my quote arrived and shortly after I was contacted with valuable tips on implementation. Within days we had received the first reactors and adapters made using our special plastic.”

“Partnering with Protolabs was easy. We ended up with high fidelity hardware at a bargain price on a very competitive schedule.”

“This was an iterative design approach that was accelerated because of the quick turnaround of the quoting system. By using this process, I was able to better learn what was expected and what was possible for moldability. I was then able to think through how I would need to modify other parts and do so with less iteration because of what I had learned from the DFM analysis in the quotes. I would submit these new parts and quickly get feedback that I was on the right track while still making sure that features I had overlooked were brought to my attention.”

“We needed the prototype to have a level of quality equivalent to or even higher than the final industrial design. We also needed it delivering on time and in a form that can eventually be mass produced. We tried many suppliers and had little success. Protolabs pleasantly surprised us with how easy they were to deal with, their reliability, the constructive feedback provided and the excellent result.”

“We were surprised by the quality of the final finish, which met all of our requirements and really stood out from the products offered by other companies. They have excellent knowledge about the products and services they offer, and this means that they provide the best options in manufacturing and design. We have been able to work together throughout the entire process.”

“Strangers open up—they become completely disarmed and start acting as friends, Seeing people in a socially interactive art installation can create an impact on the way you see and interact with your community.”

“Space exploration requires cooperation. NASA obviously has a vested interest in advancing technologies used to harvest water on the Moon and Mars. Protolabs also recognizes the importance of what this challenge is accomplishing, and we were thrilled when they asked to be a part of it. It was an unexpected and unique sponsorship with a win-win outcome. The competitive service grants for rapid parts manufacturing was invaluable to the three teams who benefited from them, enabling them to compete at top performance levels and provide NASA with high fidelity prototypes. Protolabs was able to demonstrate their mission of solving specialized product development challenges at record speeds.”
