149 Protolabs Testimonials

“Protolabs lived up to its reputation for fast turnaround and support every step of the way. When we submitted designs to ProtoQuote we got feedback, literally, overnight. The free design analysis let us address moldability issues early in the design process while we were still testing printed versions. We got live help with fine points like selecting the right resins at the right price points, and with that help were able to replace costly linear bearings at a fraction of the price.”

"I am still hugely grateful to Protolabs for the support provided via the Cool Idea award, and the manufacture of Floome using rapid injection moulding, which helped us gain at least four months on the standard time to market.”

“It has been very enlightening to us here at HP that we are able to get parts so rapidly out of the actual materials that we’re going to use in the final production.”

“In our first study with 20 patients, the participants’ subjectively perceived tinnitus decreased by between 30 and 100 percent. Building on these results, a clinical study is now also planned to further investigate the effectiveness of ForgTin. In the meantime, we are about to launch our product and I look forward to being able to help the first patients this autumn.”

"There was a need to build a lightweight, heat-resistant and high-quality anti-vibration mount without increasing the size of the ECU. One with a complex design yet manufactured in small volumes."

“Protolabs was the only company that could produce such thin features in the plastic parts we needed in those early Alpha and Beta testing stages. In addition, we were in a time crunch, so speed was a factor, something Protolabs could also handle. These are key factors for an early stage company, to test out a design quickly, get feedback from it, and then move forward from that design.”

“The Protolabs experts were responsible for modifying the non-machinable parts. We received a revised DFM 24 hours after submitting our parts and we immediately accepted it. If we had to redesign our parts, we would have lost quite a few days”.

“What has been so remarkable is how Protolabs staff took their time to explain and basically taught us about plastic, an area we did not know much about. Consultants often come in, do the work, and then take their knowledge with them when they leave. That's not the case with Protolabs. They are generous and share their knowledge and skills.”

"We’d worked with Protolabs in the past and they’ve produced our higher quality, more specialist 3D printed parts. We were keen to use them again as it’d been a very positive experience. Their online quoting tool is excellent and the turnaround time is great. We knew that if we passed a job onto Protolabs they’d just get on with it, which is exactly what we needed."

“I needed something high-quality that I could demonstrate, and Protolabs came to the rescue. They are reasonable in their prices and the quality is excellent.”

“We approached Protolabs to 3D print our product, as we knew they use quality materials and with the ability to provide a superb, polished finish. We now have excellent products to take to market, showing exactly what the finished article will look like when it goes into full manufacture.”

“Wearing the bracelet is a constant reminder that it’s not only possible to recycle plastic items; you can recover them and use them to create something beautiful. That’s how the Reach for Change bracelet came about.”

"Not only is Protolabsd able to offer a faster service, but they can do so without compromising quality. Furthermore, they're very willing to assist and help solve technical problems. This was evident from the outset."

“Deadlines for startups like ours are insane. We pushed the envelope in getting these parts done and that’s what is so appealing about Protolabs, you can turn things around in a hurry.”

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