163 Protolabs Testimonials

“Protolabs’ ability to tool domestically to aluminum and get us that quality of part that we get from injection molding but without committing to hundreds of thousands of parts really opened up our eyes.”

“Precision is important. Applying too much adhesive is wasteful and expensive, but applying too little could create a defective product.”

"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."

“The Protolabs experts were responsible for modifying the non-machinable parts. We received a revised DFM 24 hours after submitting our parts and we immediately accepted it. If we had to redesign our parts, we would have lost quite a few days”.

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

“Machining plastic parts produces different mechanical properties – we needed moulded components manufactured from the actual material. Initially I searched the internet for companies capable of meeting our requirements but most were quoting six, seven or eight week lead-times. Unfortunately timescales of these proportions are not fast enough in the IT industry. Then I came across the website of Protolabs, where I discovered I could have my parts in just five days!”

“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 to us extremely swiftly."

“Protolabs did an outstanding job guiding us through the intricacies of the mold design process, especially considering the new more difficult material. The constant support we received while evaluating different materials was outstanding.”

“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.”

“However, this process relies on the accurate spacing of the actual winding. With this in mind we approached Protolabs to produce the moulded part designed to do the job – a plastic bobbin that acts as an accurate spacer on the core.”

“By providing design engineers with 1-business day turnaround, we’re giving them the ability to better manage their product design, reduce the number of preproduction difficulties and bring products to market quicker than ever before.”

“Protolabs has been helping us with extremely high-quality nylon parts from the HP Multi Jet Fusion machine.”

“Protolabs is a tremendous ally because they enable us to develop and iterate at a much higher speed. Sometimes, we use Protolabs as the manufacturer for a given component for the lifetime of the project because they are so great to work with.”

“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.”

“In addition to helping us get a competitive edge in the competition, as an engineering student, it’s really beneficial to me and my teammates to learn from the technical expertise we receive from the support team at Protolabs.”
