“First responders are telling us that every single day they go into dark, potentially harmful spaces where danger is ahead and they could use something to see into those spaces. The idea is to make it easier for first responders to help civilians but also to protect themselves from harm and to keep people from dying.”

“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.”

“The Protolabs quoting platform is always really quick and we also get manufacturing feedback from them. The system automatically details any issues which means that we can address those issues before anything goes out for manufacture. That's really handy and it's so easy to upload a file.”

"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 acceleration of the product development phase with the help of Protolabs was amazing! Overall, the product is a very complex assembly, and from our experiments with the parts we knew they would be difficult to manufacture. However, we were able to radically simplify the design and with new CNC machined parts, prove the feasibility of the product very quickly."

"After a short time, we reached the limits of production with the first printer. Both resolution and production capacity were soon no longer sufficient for our concepts."

“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!”

“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.”

“It was hands-down the best Customer Service experience I’ve ever had. I was completely amazed by how helpful Protolabs was. And the speed was just incredible – it was faster for me to get that part ordered and printed and sent from the UK than it would have been for me to get something delivered from right here in Norway. Protolabs is almost as fast as my superbike!”

“We have been very happy with the switch to a liquid silicone rubber part. The light transmission is excellent, the visibility of the indicator to the user is excellent, and we have not had any durability issues since the change.”

“One reason we used Protolabs was the ability to create a part with that type of undercut quickly and accurately.”

"Thanks to Protolabs rapid machining, we can go from the drawing stage to reality in only a matter of days."

"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."

"This is where we add true value. We have in-house reverse engineering capabilities, finite element analysis and stress, strain, cyclic loading and fatigue testing facilities. When an ACI part is ready to go into production, its considerably better than the original."

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