163 Protolabs Testimonials

“Some of our employees have been with the company for more than 20 years and have therefore built up a wealth of knowledge. It goes without saying that this benefits us in the development of new devices."

“Wearing the bracelet is a constant reminder that it’s not only possible to recycle plastic items; you can recover them and use them to create something beautiful. That’s how the Reach for Change bracelet came about.”

"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."

"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 DFM (design for manufacturability) and the interactive quote system was extremely helpful and efficient. I loaded up my parts, the system gave me quick feedback, identified errors, and generally speaking, within 24 hours I got a quote on my latest design iteration, which was great.”

“In a market cluttered with complex gadgets, Sleeping Beauty is an elegant solution for a variety of common problems."

“We really appreciate how Protolabs caught that quality concern early on. Sometimes we never hear feedback from a producer. If we reject parts, they have to approve the rejection, and the process can drag on for many weeks.”

“Time was of the essence for this work. Patients need to receive their implant as quickly as possible. After we received the final information about dimensions, we started work on the construction and manufacture of the implant with Protolabs.”

“The Protolabs platform is a state-of-the-art solution to address the most critical questions regarding project deliverables, such as cost, schedule, and output.”

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

“What has been so remarkable is how Protolabs staff took their time to explain and basically taught us about plastic, an area we did not know much about. Consultants often come in, do the work, and then take their knowledge with them when they leave. That's not the case with Protolabs. They are generous and share their knowledge and skills.”

“Space exploration requires cooperation. NASA obviously has a vested interest in advancing technologies used to harvest water on the Moon and Mars. Protolabs also recognizes the importance of what this challenge is accomplishing, and we were thrilled when they asked to be a part of it. It was an unexpected and unique sponsorship with a win-win outcome. The competitive service grants for rapid parts manufacturing was invaluable to the three teams who benefited from them, enabling them to compete at top performance levels and provide NASA with high fidelity prototypes. Protolabs was able to demonstrate their mission of solving specialized product development challenges at record speeds.”

"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 a job onto Protolabs they’d just get on with it, which is exactly what we needed."
