“I was delighted to discover Protolabs. I really enjoyed working with the team who were incredibly enthusiastic, curious and ready to take on the challenge. I appreciated how they were always happy to share ideas and help drive the project forward.”

“The success of the Black Panther mask not only demonstrates Protolabs’ capabilities but the potential of 3D printing to advance packaging design.”

“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.”

"I am still hugely grateful to Protolabs for the support provided via the Cool Idea award, and the manufacture of Floome using rapid injection moulding, which helped us gain at least four months on the standard time to market.”

“The Protolabs quoting platform is always really quick and we also get manufacturing feedback from them. The system automatically details any issues which means that we can address those issues before anything goes out for manufacture. That's really handy and it's so easy to upload a file.”

"After a short time, we reached the limits of production with the first printer. Both resolution and production capacity were soon no longer sufficient for our concepts."

“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 …

“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’ 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.”

"It is very exciting because the delivery of transmission oil must be guaranteed at all points."

“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.”

“As part of our project, we thought it important for us to demonstrate new, cost effective, manufacturing methods that the rail industry can use to develop its competitive edge. Looking to the future, we can see 3D printing technology becoming increasingly prominent in train manufacturing, repairs and upgrades.”

“We’re enabling local farms to produce barley for their own community by engaging stakeholders in craft beer's supply chain from breeders to brewers, who can then use our equipment to test and prototype recipes.”

“Ultimately, for specimens as big as this, we need to use an appropriately large system and special recording techniques to obtain the maximum possible resolution."

“It was an extraordinary engineering challenge that was met by extraordinary service from Protolabs. We appreciated their efficiency, expertise, attention to detail and the speed was something that not many other manufacturers could have achieved. Once we had the material locked in, Protolabs molded the parts and shipped them out …
