“Strangers open up—they become completely disarmed and start acting as friends, Seeing people in a socially interactive art installation can create an impact on the way you see and interact with your community.”

“Protolabs offered a totally unique service to our product designers that made our development process much faster. You just submit your 3D CAD model to the ProtoQuote automated online quoting system and you receive pricing, options and advice for improved mouldability within hours.”

"Great service at a fair price and the quality of my parts is fantastic. Keep up the great work.”

“The file we’d created and provided for the logo was slightly offset from the embossed logo in the plastic casing part, but rather than demanding new files from us, Protolabs worked with us to resolve the issue. Tweaks they made themselves ensured accurate printing of the logo, saving us more …

“We weren’t happy with the environmental impact and ESG implications of manufacturing our exciting new product—a device that has ultimately been created to save a huge amount of energy and help our customers become more sustainable—thousands of miles away. The irony of that didn’t sit comfortably with us.”

“Had we gone with prototype tooling with other vendors, there’s no way it would have been that quick—the Protolabs software interface with design analysis, is very clear, intuitive, and very helpful to get the design details right for moldability it works really well.”

“The ability to make tools [molds] fast, to make parts fast, being able to have support in low-volume [quantities] at a reasonable capital cost—these were the pieces we were looking for.”

“These are low-volume, high-value parts Protolabs is manufacturing for us.”

“Protolabs made many injection-molded parts for us in prototyping and right now Protolabs is making 30 to 40 specific, end-use parts in production volumes for us.”

"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 …

“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.”

“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 …

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

“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”.

“We went through about 15 design iterations working with an applications engineer at Protolabs. The quoting system and manufacturability feedback made it easy for us to identify design changes without the need to manufacture physical parts. This was all done through CAD models and the quoting system, which saved us …
