“Protolabs’ quick-turn manufacturing services coupled with automated quoting and design analysis enable our iterative design and development process to meet tight deadlines with reduced design risk.”
“One reason we used Protolabs was the ability to create a part with that type of undercut quickly and accurately.”
"Being in an early prototyping stage, it was much easier to 3D print the complicated lug versus machine it. You get all of the features without having to do any additional design for manufacturability work."
“First responders are telling us that every single day they go into dark, potentially harmful spaces where danger is ahead and they could use something to see into those spaces. The idea is to make it easier for first responders to help civilians but also to protect themselves from harm and to keep people from dying.”
"The costs and time lines corresponded to our goals and Protolabs' production capacity is compatible with our volumes."
“It had the effect of improving the structural integrity of the hand and absorbing the impact shock from a punch, so the idea for the Boxing Hand Grenade was born and the response has been fantastic.”
“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.”
“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 were strapped for time and working with a small budget to create our initial prototype. We put our trust in Protolabs, since we had already worked with them on other projects."
"We are pushing the boundaries of taxonomic data analysis that may even discover previously unknown species."
“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.”
"While browsing protolabs.it, I was struck by the clarity of the content and the completeness of the information on materials and manufacturing processes".
“The net was definitely savings compared to our labor cost. It was more efficient in our testing as well. I’m able to get started sooner. My technicians definitely are happy.”
“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.”
“Deadlines for startups like ours are insane. We pushed the envelope in getting these parts done and that’s what is so appealing about Protolabs, you can turn things around in a hurry.”
