149 Protolabs Testimonials

"We uploaded our model and had a price almost immediately. Although we’re not experts in the design of plastic parts suitable for production, we managed to get everything sorted with the tips from the quote review."

“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.”

“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.”

“However, this process relies on the accurate spacing of the actual winding. With this in mind we approached Protolabs to produce the moulded part designed to do the job – a plastic bobbin that acts as an accurate spacer on the core.”

“By providing design engineers with 1-business day turnaround, we’re giving them the ability to better manage their product design, reduce the number of preproduction difficulties and bring products to market quicker than ever before.”

"We were strapped for time and working with a small budget to create our initial prototype. We put our trust in Protolabs, since we had already worked with them on other projects."

"We are pushing the boundaries of taxonomic data analysis that may even discover previously unknown species."

“In the early development phase when ideas are not quite mature is where Protolabs' services really comes into their own.”

"We had to release the product to market as soon as possible. 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 3D CAD models, are efficient, simple and well-structured."

“It was hands-down the best Customer Service experience I’ve ever had. I was completely amazed by how helpful Protolabs was. And the speed was just incredible – it was faster for me to get that part ordered and printed and sent from the UK than it would have been for me to get something delivered from right here in Norway. Protolabs is almost as fast as my superbike!”

"Thanks to Protolabs rapid machining, we can go from the drawing stage to reality in only a matter of days."

“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.”

“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.”

“Like jet engines, a coffee machine requires high pressure, controlled temperatures and precision engineered components. If I could build a jet engine, I realised I could probably build my dream espresso machine.”
