"After a short time, we reached the limits of production with the first printer. Both resolution and production capacity were soon no longer sufficient for our concepts."

"Protolabs was easily able to handle thermoplastic silicone, our proposed custom material. They always gave me direct support for all production-related design issues."

“Protolabs has been helping us with extremely high-quality nylon parts from the HP Multi Jet Fusion machine.”

“Ultimately, for specimens as big as this, we need to use an appropriately large system and special recording techniques to obtain the maximum possible resolution."

“Some of our employees have been with the company for more than 20 years and have therefore built up a wealth of knowledge. It goes without saying that this benefits us in the development of new devices."

“The process worked very smoothly and was very easy. The cartridge is produced by injection moulding. Making the mould took a total of four weeks from the first upload of our CAD drawings. From there, it only took a couple of days before we received the first prototypes."

"For the machined parts, which were used for customer testing under real conditions and testing in extreme conditions, I did not ask for a particular finish. The sandblasted finish offered by Protolabs is perfectly demonstrable, even marketable. The prototypes we made were worn for several months without any deterioration in …

“The European Cool Idea Award has really helped us take the Evo System onto the next stage of development and closer to a real-life solution that will save lives and cut hospital budgets. It is meant to be a cost-effective solution, so we had to find a way of mass …

Protolabs always respected our deadlines and demonstrated a high-level of responsiveness, precision and discipline with regard to its commitments. We are very happy with our choice. Protolabs’ online processes, including the quoting system and the validation of our …

“The fact that Protolabs could provide design feedback within a couple of hours after we uploaded our CAD into its design for manufacturability analysis software, rapid prototyping of the parts, and a low volume injection moulding solution that keeps the cost per part down was invaluable.”

"The iteration cycles of new developments are based on two points - technical need and financial means. Designers are therefore often hesitant to make improvements for cost reasons. It's different with Protolabs. Here you can immediately convert findings from practice into a high-quality production product. If an expensive production tool …

"The feedback from our initial customers and from experts makes us very optimistic. Protolabs gives us the necessary flexibility. We will source the entire run of up to 20-30 thousand units from Protolabs. That way we can win more satisfied customers and convince investors with our sales figures. We are …

“The Protolabs website is very well presented and the guides on the site were extremely helpful, making it easy for me to research what I needed. I also felt Protolabs seemed approachable and friendly as well as being experts in the field. This was confirmed when I spoke to someone …

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

“I really wanted to create a gift shop for my 3D museum, as we always exit through the gift shop these days. But then I had to think about what items to put inside my gift shop."
