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."

“Obviously as a start-up company we were working on limited capital and Protolabs understood our situation. They were very helpful in suggesting possible ways of reducing the cost.”

“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."

“We're a startup and we want to make parts as fast as possible and cost effectively. But we also want to do as much as we can in the United States as well, so it's nice to have a company that manufacturers in Minnesota. Protolabs seems to be quite competitive in terms of prices and turnaround.”

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

"We had to release the product to market as soon as possible. Protolabs always respected our deadlines and demonstrated a high-level of responsiveness, precision and discipline with regard to its commitments. We are very happy with our choice. Protolabs’ online processes, including the quoting system and the validation of our 3D CAD models, are efficient, simple and well-structured."

"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."

“It’s baked into our design and our R&D process now. It’s easier for me to order a mold for a part for a medical device (from Protolabs) than it is for me to pay my mortgage online.”

“Protolabs’ quick-turn manufacturing services coupled with automated quoting and design analysis enable our iterative design and development process to meet tight deadlines with reduced design risk.”

"While browsing protolabs.it, I was struck by the clarity of the content and the completeness of the information on materials and manufacturing processes".

"We were strapped for time and working with a small budget to create our initial prototype. We put our trust in Protolabs, since we had already worked with them on other projects."

"We are pushing the boundaries of taxonomic data analysis that may even discover previously unknown species."

“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!”
