"It all worked very well and now that there is a tool, it's just for us to order more if and when needed."

“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 development time and reduced our costs.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The European Cool Idea Award has really helped us take the Evo System onto the next stage of development and closer to a real-life solution that will save lives and cut hospital budgets. It is meant to be a cost-effective solution, so we had to find a way of mass manufacturing it to lower the unit costs."

"The acceleration of the product development phase with the help of Protolabs was amazing! Overall, the product is a very complex assembly, and from our experiments with the parts we knew they would be difficult to manufacture. However, we were able to radically simplify the design and with new CNC machined parts, prove the feasibility of the product very quickly."

“Ultimately, for specimens as big as this, we need to use an appropriately large system and special recording techniques to obtain the maximum possible resolution."

“Protolabs gives us peace of mind with adaptable manufacturing schedules using their lean and just-in-time techniques. This lets us better manage cash flow and successfully grow our direct-to-customer business.”

“Responding to a growing market need for energy efficiency and flexibility meant acting swiftly. We needed a prototype and injection moulding partner that could help us get the product to market as quickly as possible and having worked with Protolabs on several projects, we were able to design the solution to meet the short development time expectations.”

“It’s been particularly beneficial to understand how to design a solution that brings a range of our skills and experience together.”

“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!”

“Speed and flexibility, being able to deploy different manufacturing options, and a commitment to customer service, are the main reasons we use Protolabs.”
