163 Protolabs Testimonials

“They look good and there is no warping or cracking on the plastic part. We are definitely going to need more, so Protolabs can expect another order shortly.”

"This is where we add true value. We have in-house reverse engineering capabilities, finite element analysis and stress, strain, cyclic loading and fatigue testing facilities. When an ACI part is ready to go into production, its considerably better than the original."

"While browsing protolabs.it, I was struck by the clarity of the content and the completeness of the information on materials and manufacturing processes".

“It always takes time to enhance design accuracy, but we cannot alter delivery times. With Protolabs, we do not have issues with the timing or cost problems associated with regular prototyping methods.”

“Protolabs’ ability to tool domestically to aluminum and get us that quality of part that we get from injection molding but without committing to hundreds of thousands of parts really opened up our eyes.”

“Protolabs has been so efficient that the end caps are actually the first completed parts we have received for FROG.”

“He is a highly motivated and talented young man. I was floored when I saw the quality of his 3D drawings of the devices he wanted to build for this project. Quite impressive, especially coming from a first-year student.”

“The Protolabs quoting platform is always really quick and we also get manufacturing feedback from them. The system automatically details any issues which means that we can address those issues before anything goes out for manufacture. That's really handy and it's so easy to upload a file.”

"Being in an early prototyping stage, it was much easier to 3D print the complicated lug versus machine it. You get all of the features without having to do any additional design for manufacturability work."

“However, the speed of the unit could in no way compromise the quality and reliability of the test results – this is a nasty toxin that comes from bacteria including E. coli and Salmonella. Our customers will rely on this test to provide assurance before expensive devices and vaccines are released to market.”

"The online service was excellent, providing clear and understandable information, which guided my choice of material and finish for the piece."

"Today, Protolabs has become an integral part of our product development process. Compared with the way we worked before, it offers a huge advantage. We are able to carry out much more frequent and realistic tests. And, we reduce time and money to get from 3D CAD to a finished product, saving at least six weeks for each part.”

“The biggest deal for me was getting these parts done so quickly because I only had three months to design and build and test this very complex machine.”

“What Cool Idea will help us to do is have some injection-molded parts to use for our pilot run as well. We came up with our own architecture for the internal components within AMPY and did a lot of customer development to find the right form factor and size, and to deliver a significant amount of power.”

“How we've managed to design those coils gives a little more flexibility in the spaces that we can put them into and how much power we can generate. We've tried to make those as compact as possible while generating enough voltage and power to charge the internal battery.”
