"They send us their statement of requirements or aircraft interior parts and we design, reverse engineer or re-make before the aircraft returns to operational service. The window for doing so may be a matter of days."

"We have worked with Protolabs on many projects and we have very good experience with them. They have great competence and are fast and responsive which really suits us."

“We were probably the first group to demonstrate a noninvasive brain-machine interface to an exoskeleton in a person with paralysis. We have been since trying to push the envelope to better understand the intent of our participants. We can drive the machines to do what we want.”

“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 …

“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 …

“Everything I asked for, whether I had questions of your customer service people, or I was waiting on quotes, or waiting for parts, there was nothing slow about it. It was immediate. It was all about getting stuff done. I hate waiting.”

“It had the effect of improving the structural integrity of the hand and absorbing the impact shock from a punch, so the idea for the Boxing Hand Grenade was born and the response has been fantastic.”

“The Protolabs platform is a state-of-the-art solution to address the most critical questions regarding project deliverables, such as cost, schedule, and output.”

"The online service was excellent, providing clear and understandable information, which guided my choice of material and finish for the piece."

“The process worked very smoothly and was very easy. The cartridge is produced by injection moulding. Making the mould took a total of four weeks from the first upload of our CAD drawings. From there, it only took a couple of days before we received the first prototypes."

"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."

"Being in an early prototyping stage, it was much easier to 3D print the complicated lug versus machine it. You get all of the features without having to do any additional design for manufacturability work."

“As we started to increase our quantity, it became apparent that more efficient manufacturing processes were needed, and that's when we turned to Protolabs.”

“Without the support from Protolabs and the Cool Idea Award, the table’s manufacturing complexity and costs would both go up, but we’re now able to reduce design time and cost to bring Sisyphus to our customers more quickly and efficiently."

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