"We’d worked with Protolabs in the past and they’ve produced our higher quality, more specialist 3D printed parts. We were keen to use them again as it’d been a very positive experience. Their online quoting tool is excellent and the turnaround time is great. We knew that if we passed …

“ Protolabs' ability to provide rapid, precise, and material-specific machining services significantly contributed to Space Inventors' capability to develop satellite systems and advance aerospace technology. The ongoing collaboration continues to foster innovation and success in the space exploration sector.”

“He is a highly motivated and talented young man. I was floored when I saw the quality of his 3D drawings of the devices he wanted to build for this project. Quite impressive, especially coming from a first-year student.”

“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 …

"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."

“We have a strong commitment to pushing the boundaries in robotic manipulation. We know we can rely on Protolabs to support this through its responsiveness and high quality standards.”

“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.”

“As part of our project, we thought it important for us to demonstrate new, cost effective, manufacturing methods that the rail industry can use to develop its competitive edge. Looking to the future, we can see 3D printing technology becoming increasingly prominent in train manufacturing, repairs and upgrades.”

“The detail of the 3D-printed part, it would have been very difficult to achieve that type of exacting geometry without the use of 3D printing.”

“They look good and there is no warping or cracking on the plastic part. We are definitely going to need more, so Protolabs can expect another order shortly.”

“Protolabs helped us secure a pre series quickly for a lower investment while also working with us towards a partial final design. This ensured that we could move forwards with the certification process and our data testing and collection to train our neural networks and optimise the firmware. Their secondary …

“However, the speed of the unit could in no way compromise the quality and reliability of the test results – this is a nasty toxin that comes from bacteria including E. coli and Salmonella. Our customers will rely on this test to provide assurance before expensive devices and vaccines are …

"We turned to Protolabs, and they were able to machine those parts in a few days. The customer agreed to validate with the Protolabs parts. We were able to physically test the parts and validate them, so when the injection-molded samples came in we were able to keep running and …

“In the early development phase when ideas are not quite mature is where Protolabs' services really comes into their own.”

“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 …
