149 Protolabs Testimonials

“Some of our employees have been with the company for more than 20 years and have therefore built up a wealth of knowledge. It goes without saying that this benefits us in the development of new devices."

"Great service at a fair price and the quality of my parts is fantastic. Keep up the great work.”

“The advantage to having this on your head and not wrist is that it is at the center of your body mass, so the tracker picks up more accurate readings. It is at least as good as, if not better than, other fitness trackers on the market. There’s really nothing like this on the market right now.”

“Wearing the bracelet is a constant reminder that it’s not only possible to recycle plastic items; you can recover them and use them to create something beautiful. That’s how the Reach for Change bracelet came about.”

“The file we’d created and provided for the logo was slightly offset from the embossed logo in the plastic casing part, but rather than demanding new files from us, Protolabs worked with us to resolve the issue. Tweaks they made themselves ensured accurate printing of the logo, saving us more valuable time in the process.”

“We weren’t happy with the environmental impact and ESG implications of manufacturing our exciting new product—a device that has ultimately been created to save a huge amount of energy and help our customers become more sustainable—thousands of miles away. The irony of that didn’t sit comfortably with us.”

"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 product, saving at least six weeks for each part.”

"Not only is Protolabsd able to offer a faster service, but they can do so without compromising quality. Furthermore, they're very willing to assist and help solve technical problems. This was evident from the outset."

“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.”

"The costs and time lines corresponded to our goals and Protolabs' production capacity is compatible with our volumes."

“Responding to a growing market need for energy efficiency and flexibility meant acting swiftly. We needed a prototype and injection moulding partner that could help us get the product to market as quickly as possible and having worked with Protolabs on several projects, we were able to design the solution to meet the short development time expectations.”

"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.”

“We gave Nebulem a design brief and a specification to work with and they returned with various concepts for the enclosure. We picked our favourite and Nebulem developed the design from there. We were completely new to CNC machining and relied on their guidance. Within two weeks we had finalised a prototype design. I have to say, their professionalism was very impressive.”

“Partnering with Protolabs was easy. We ended up with high fidelity hardware at a bargain price on a very competitive schedule.”

“This was an iterative design approach that was accelerated because of the quick turnaround of the quoting system. By using this process, I was able to better learn what was expected and what was possible for moldability. I was then able to think through how I would need to modify other parts and do so with less iteration because of what I had learned from the DFM analysis in the quotes. I would submit these new parts and quickly get feedback that I was on the right track while still making sure that features I had overlooked were brought to my attention.”
