163 Protolabs Testimonials

“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.”

“Responding to a growing market need for energy efficiency and flexibility meant acting swiftly. We needed a prototype and injection moulding partner that could help us get the product to market as quickly as possible and having worked with Protolabs on several projects, we were able to design the solution to meet the short development time expectations.”

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

“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."

"Our team of engineers were impressed by the design analysis. Within two days, we knew which areas needed our attention and what changes were required to achieve quality injection."

"With Protolabs and the Cool Idea Award, we were able to accelerate our hardware process ahead of schedule and quickly develop a reliable, high-quality product to demo to prospective customers."

"The iteration cycles of new developments are based on two points - technical need and financial means. Designers are therefore often hesitant to make improvements for cost reasons. It's different with Protolabs. Here you can immediately convert findings from practice into a high-quality production product. If an expensive production tool is then needed, you can order it as soon as you have sufficient orders."

"The feedback from our initial customers and from experts makes us very optimistic. Protolabs gives us the necessary flexibility. We will source the entire run of up to 20-30 thousand units from Protolabs. That way we can win more satisfied customers and convince investors with our sales figures. We are open to international expansion and see tremendous potential."

“Protolabs’ quoting system, where you can upload CAD models onto their website, really is brilliant. The interface is really easy to use and then it takes a good look at your design and gives you feedback for production. It’s an invaluable tool.”

“It was good working with Oliver as although his design was manufacturable from the outset, he had the flexibility to tweak and refine his design for the injection moulding process. It’s satisfying to have those conversations upfront with a client about the draft, the gate and the ejector layout, and see how the suggested changes are implemented into a design that makes for an even better part – one that the client is really happy with. It gives me great job satisfaction."

“Strangers open up—they become completely disarmed and start acting as friends, Seeing people in a socially interactive art installation can create an impact on the way you see and interact with your community.”

"The costs and time lines corresponded to our goals and Protolabs' production capacity is compatible with our volumes."

"Once that was complete, they were able to make the tools and shoot us the parts in under 15 business days. That was fantastic."

“It has been very enlightening to us here at HP that we are able to get parts so rapidly out of the actual materials that we’re going to use in the final production.”

“Protolabs is a tremendous ally because they enable us to develop and iterate at a much higher speed. Sometimes, we use Protolabs as the manufacturer for a given component for the lifetime of the project because they are so great to work with.”
