163 Protolabs Testimonials

“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 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!”

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

“As we started to increase our quantity, it became apparent that more efficient manufacturing processes were needed, and that's when we turned to Protolabs.”

“Without the support from Protolabs and the Cool Idea Award, the table’s manufacturing complexity and costs would both go up, but we’re now able to reduce design time and cost to bring Sisyphus to our customers more quickly and efficiently."

“What Cool Idea will help us to do is have some injection-molded parts to use for our pilot run as well. We came up with our own architecture for the internal components within AMPY and did a lot of customer development to find the right form factor and size, and to deliver a significant amount of power.”

“How we've managed to design those coils gives a little more flexibility in the spaces that we can put them into and how much power we can generate. We've tried to make those as compact as possible while generating enough voltage and power to charge the internal battery.”

“The process worked very smoothly and was very easy. The cartridge is produced by injection moulding. Making the mould took a total of four weeks from the first upload of our CAD drawings. From there, it only took a couple of days before we received the first prototypes."

“Protolabs’ ability to tool domestically to aluminum and get us that quality of part that we get from injection molding but without committing to hundreds of thousands of parts really opened up our eyes.”

”I fished with the only lures that were available in the tackle shops at the time. However, after using them I was greatly disappointed with the results. I realised the lures weren’t efficient and there was a gap in the market for a more durable, faster-running and deeper-diving lure.”

“Protolabs gives us peace of mind with adaptable manufacturing schedules using their lean and just-in-time techniques. This lets us better manage cash flow and successfully grow our direct-to-customer business.”

"You can easily pop them into an already-established process and collect information while you're providing a completely clean technology."

"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."

“Precision is important. Applying too much adhesive is wasteful and expensive, but applying too little could create a defective product.”

"Today, Protolabs has become an integral part of our product development process. Compared with the way we worked before, it offers a huge advantage. We are able to carry out much more frequent and realistic tests. And, we reduce time and money to get from 3D CAD to a finished product, saving at least six weeks for each part.”
