163 Protolabs Testimonials

“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.”

“Precision is important. Applying too much adhesive is wasteful and expensive, but applying too little could create a defective product.”

"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."

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

“Protolabs has a really nice interface that’s easy for uploading different parts and seeing prices on the screen, and we can get them really fast."

“I found Protolabs to be very quick, very responsive and very supportive. Their level of service has always been superb.”

”I fished with the only lures that were available in the tackle shops at the time. However, after using them I was greatly disappointed with the results. I realised the lures weren’t efficient and there was a gap in the market for a more durable, faster-running and deeper-diving lure.”

“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."

“Protolabs could make a mould and produce a short run of parts in a production intent resin in as little as five days. This is exactly what we needed to get the Qstik headset project into the prototype phase.”

“However, the speed of the unit could in no way compromise the quality and reliability of the test results – this is a nasty toxin that comes from bacteria including E. coli and Salmonella. Our customers will rely on this test to provide assurance before expensive devices and vaccines are released to market.”

"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.”

“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.”

“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."

“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.”

“There are ways to convert sunlight into electricity with a regular solar panel. And there are obviously ways to create heat from sunlight with a black panel. But to do both simultaneously and to do both well simultaneously is where this technology really shines.”
