163 Protolabs Testimonials

“The short turn-around time offered by Protolabs, in conjunction with a strong support team helping to deliver the parts, was extremely valuable. To put this into context, Protolabs can produce and deliver parts quicker than if we used a local workshop! This efficiency is essential with the production of a first product. The other main advantage was the quality assurance provided by Protolabs. With each part design-checked before production, we had the benefit of the company’s 20 years’ experience to identify any improvements or tweaks the design needed. This is extremely valuable to us; the quality and reliability of BactoFlow are crucial to ensure it fulfills its potential to revolutionise contamination detection in water.”

“There is also no minimum order quantity, so it’s ideal for me since I only wanted a single high precision part. It’s a great service for small businesses when you need to outsource manufacturing and to control and understand the process.”

“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."

“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 would.”

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

“I needed something high-quality that I could demonstrate, and Protolabs came to the rescue. They are reasonable in their prices and the quality is excellent.”

“We went through about 15 design iterations working with an applications engineer at Protolabs. The quoting system and manufacturability feedback made it easy for us to identify design changes without the need to manufacture physical parts. This was all done through CAD models and the quoting system, which saved us development time and reduced our costs.”

“The biggest deal for me was getting these parts done so quickly because I only had three months to design and build and test this very complex machine.”

“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.”

"This patented system is both a revelation in regenerative medicine and the dream of biomedical scientists. It takes a sample from the patient such as blood, isolates the immune cells, cultures them outside the body in large quantities, and leads them back to fight tumour cells.”

“We knew of no other suppliers who could deliver finished parts within 10 days of transferring the 3D model. Sometimes we would even receive components within five days, if we had opted for this. The process was so simple: I just uploaded my 3D SolidWorks model to the Protolabs website. Almost immediately my quote arrived and shortly after I was contacted with valuable tips on implementation. Within days we had received the first reactors and adapters made using our special plastic.”

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

“For elite athletes, as I was, it is extremely important to reduce the effects of repeated concussions. In addition, it is positive for both the individual and the club if the player can return to play earlier, both from a health and financial perspective. The results show that the PolarCap System improves the chances.”

“The spoons from the initial production run came back amazingly well and we immediately placed an order for a further 900 spoons that were produced within a couple of weeks!”

“The European Cool Idea Award has really helped us take the Evo System onto the next stage of development and closer to a real-life solution that will save lives and cut hospital budgets. It is meant to be a cost-effective solution, so we had to find a way of mass manufacturing it to lower the unit costs."
