“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.”

“This application was an ideal fit for production 3D printing. So often people tend to rely on additive manufacturing for prototyping and then move to molding or machining when they get to production. But for me, 3D printing parts in the exact quantities that I need really makes for an …

"Protolabs' promise of going from prototype to production very quickly with a choice of solutions completely won us over."

"Our contacts at Protolabs were always very professional and proactive. They advised us perfectly with regard to the constraints related to injection. We also trusted them completely with the assembly elements."

“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 …

“Obviously we chose to go ahead and go for it because it didn’t seem anybody was going to do this anytime soon We couldn’t afford for our family to wait for somebody else to do it.”

"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 …

“In a market cluttered with complex gadgets, Sleeping Beauty is an elegant solution for a variety of common problems."

“The detail of the 3D-printed part, it would have been very difficult to achieve that type of exacting geometry without the use of 3D printing.”

"We’d worked with Protolabs in the past and they’ve produced our higher quality, more specialist 3D printed parts. We were keen to use them again as it’d been a very positive experience. Their online quoting tool is excellent and the turnaround time is great. We knew that if we passed …

“Protolabs and its MicroFine get me to a prototyping stage that I know will match that of the actual production parts off of a hardened tool. I wouldn’t want to be surprised when I get my $50,000 tool [from another supplier] and it doesn’t work the way I thought it …
