“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' ability to provide rapid, precise, and material-specific machining services significantly contributed to Space Inventors' capability to develop satellite systems and advance aerospace technology. The ongoing collaboration continues to foster innovation and success in the space exploration sector.”

"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.”

“In our first study with 20 patients, the participants’ subjectively perceived tinnitus decreased by between 30 and 100 percent. Building on these results, a clinical study is now also planned to further investigate the effectiveness of ForgTin. In the meantime, we are about to launch our product and I look …

“The reason we chose 3D printing as opposed to machining is that we could never get the attention to detail, the small geometries of the internal channels in there with traditional machining techniques.”

“Once we put the prototypes together, we could test to make sure the fasteners were feeding correctly, and if the sliding action of the plunger was operating smoothly without jamming. If there were any problems, we would modify the part and have another one machined. Once everything was working, we …

"There was a need to build a lightweight, heat-resistant and high-quality anti-vibration mount without increasing the size of the ECU. One with a complex design yet manufactured in small volumes."

“Within a few hours of the call, we had mobilised a dedicated design and manufacturing team to review the bracket’s design for manufacturability and offer suggestions on how stringent deadlines could be met.”

“There are a lot of skills required for good design for manufacture and many product designers do not posses all these skills. By using a design company they can focus on making decisions and reduce the time to market.”

“We approached Protolabs to 3D print our product, as we knew they use quality materials and with the ability to provide a superb, polished finish. We now have excellent products to take to market, showing exactly what the finished article will look like when it goes into full manufacture.”

"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."

“Protolabs lived up to its reputation for fast turnaround and support every step of the way. When we submitted designs to ProtoQuote we got feedback, literally, overnight. The free design analysis let us address moldability issues early in the design process while we were still testing printed versions. We got …

“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 …

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

"Today, Protolabs has become an integral part of our product development process. Compared with the way we worked before, it offers a huge advantage. We are able to carry out much more frequent and realistic tests. And, we reduce time and money to get from 3D CAD to a finished …
