163 Protolabs Testimonials

"Once that was complete, they were able to make the tools and shoot us the parts in under 15 business days. That was fantastic."

“We are looking at some other products to add to the Instant-Trace family and we’ll be using Protolabs again.”

“The Protolabs platform is a state-of-the-art solution to address the most critical questions regarding project deliverables, such as cost, schedule, and output.”

“You guys had this design cube that was sort of like a Tetris block, and I was interested in plastics back in college, and so I took some courses and I got that design cube.”

“Protolabs' strength is its flexibility for limited production runs and the support which its engineers can provide in proposing and finding the right solution.”

“Obviously as a start-up company we were working on limited capital and Protolabs understood our situation. They were very helpful in suggesting possible ways of reducing the cost.”

“We have a strong commitment to pushing the boundaries in robotic manipulation. We know we can rely on Protolabs to support this through its responsiveness and high quality standards.”

“We’re very excited about our product and the impact it will have on the bicycle industry, and also for bicycle manufacturing in North America.”

“The advantage to having this on your head and not wrist is that it is at the center of your body mass, so the tracker picks up more accurate readings. It is at least as good as, if not better than, other fitness trackers on the market. There’s really nothing like this on the market right now.”

"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."

"We became interested in additive manufacturing [industrial-grade 3D printing] and experimented with it, and, as the industry expanded so did our print parts with much higher resolution and precision tooling than what was available previously. The savings in both cost and time also became a factor.”

“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.”

“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.”

“There are a lot of skills required for good design for manufacture and many product designers do not posses all these skills. By using a design company they can focus on making decisions and reduce the time to market.”

“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.”
