163 Protolabs Testimonials

“Like jet engines, a coffee machine requires high pressure, controlled temperatures and precision engineered components. If I could build a jet engine, I realised I could probably build my dream espresso machine.”

"Efficiency is built into the Protolabs system. It’s fast, you get answers quickly and can be confident in the accuracy. We benefitted from that hugely."

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

“It all depends on what the user wants. We design and sell monitors, under our own name, directly to doctors. A lot of [the monitors] are customized to a specific practitioner’s requirements. We also design OEM devices for companies that sell into cardiovascular centers and for drug testing. In FDA-mandated drug testing, the devices could be used to determine whether a drug causes irregularities in heart function.”

"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."

“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.”

“Protolabs offered a totally unique service to our product designers that made our development process much faster. You just submit your 3D CAD model to the ProtoQuote automated online quoting system and you receive pricing, options and advice for improved mouldability within hours.”

“On parts where aesthetics are very important, it is easy to end up with deviations in colour or texture as a consequence of abrupt material acceleration."

"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."

“Our solution makes the water crystal clear while helping to save energy by increasing the efficiency of heat exchangers."

"It all worked very well and now that there is a tool, it's just for us to order more if and when needed."

“The pressure on the product development team is enormous,” he says. "If a plastic part is approved for production it has to be 100% right. We leave nothing to chance. Our customers trust us implicitly.”

“Once we put the prototypes together, we could test to make sure the fasteners were feeding correctly, and if the sliding action of the plunger was operating smoothly without jamming. If there were any problems, we would modify the part and have another one machined. Once everything was working, we made molds.”

“I found Protolabs to be very quick, very responsive and very supportive. Their level of service has always been superb.”

“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.”
