163 Protolabs Testimonials

“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.”

“I really wanted to create a gift shop for my 3D museum, as we always exit through the gift shop these days. But then I had to think about what items to put inside my gift shop."

"We turned to Protolabs, and they were able to machine those parts in a few days. The customer agreed to validate with the Protolabs parts. We were able to physically test the parts and validate them, so when the injection-molded samples came in we were able to keep running and hit our timelines.”

“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.”

“[Automakers] these days want more features packed into smaller packages. That’s our challenge, stuffing all that functionality into that little package.”

“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.”

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

"The Protolabs model is flexible and scalable and allows us to test and refine our designs with prototypes before moving into mass production, thus reducing the risk and cost of errors."

“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.”

"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 needed the prototype to have a level of quality equivalent to or even higher than the final industrial design. We also needed it delivering on time and in a form that can eventually be mass produced. We tried many suppliers and had little success. Protolabs pleasantly surprised us with how easy they were to deal with, their reliability, the constructive feedback provided and the excellent result.”

“We were surprised by the quality of the final finish, which met all of our requirements and really stood out from the products offered by other companies. They have excellent knowledge about the products and services they offer, and this means that they provide the best options in manufacturing and design. We have been able to work together throughout the entire process.”

“For elite athletes, as I was, it is extremely important to reduce the effects of repeated concussions. In addition, it is positive for both the individual and the club if the player can return to play earlier, both from a health and financial perspective. The results show that the PolarCap System improves the chances.”

“We have been very happy with the switch to a liquid silicone rubber part. The light transmission is excellent, the visibility of the indicator to the user is excellent, and we have not had any durability issues since the change.”

“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."
