"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 …

“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 …

"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."

“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.”

"The iteration cycles of new developments are based on two points - technical need and financial means. Designers are therefore often hesitant to make improvements for cost reasons. It's different with Protolabs. Here you can immediately convert findings from practice into a high-quality production product. If an expensive production tool …

"The feedback from our initial customers and from experts makes us very optimistic. Protolabs gives us the necessary flexibility. We will source the entire run of up to 20-30 thousand units from Protolabs. That way we can win more satisfied customers and convince investors with our sales figures. We are …

“Protolabs offered a totally unique service to our product designers that made our development process much faster. You just submit your 3D CAD model to the ProtoQuote automated online quoting system and you receive pricing, options and advice for improved mouldability within hours.”

“On parts where aesthetics are very important, it is easy to end up with deviations in colour or texture as a consequence of abrupt material acceleration."

“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 are looking at some other products to add to the Instant-Trace family and we’ll be using Protolabs again.”

“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.”

“Like jet engines, a coffee machine requires high pressure, controlled temperatures and precision engineered components. If I could build a jet engine, I realised I could probably build my dream espresso machine.”

“Protolabs helped us secure a pre series quickly for a lower investment while also working with us towards a partial final design. This ensured that we could move forwards with the certification process and our data testing and collection to train our neural networks and optimise the firmware. Their secondary …

“Protolabs' strength is its flexibility for limited production runs and the support which its engineers can provide in proposing and finding the right solution.”

"You can easily pop them into an already-established process and collect information while you're providing a completely clean technology."
