“There are a lot of skills required for good design for manufacture and many product designers do not posses all these skills. By using a design company they can focus on making decisions and reduce the time to market.”

“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.”

“We gave Nebulem a design brief and a specification to work with and they returned with various concepts for the enclosure. We picked our favourite and Nebulem developed the design from there. We were completely new to CNC machining and relied on their guidance. Within two weeks we had finalised a prototype design. I have to say, their professionalism was very impressive.”

“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.”

"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."

“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.”

“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.”

“Protolabs could make a mould and produce a short run of parts in a production intent resin in as little as five days. This is exactly what we needed to get the Qstik headset project into the prototype phase.”

“Our aircraft is always ready to take off and execute a rescue operation within six seconds."

"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."

"Not only is Protolabsd able to offer a faster service, but they can do so without compromising quality. Furthermore, they're very willing to assist and help solve technical problems. This was evident from the outset."

“By all accounts, the project was a great success, everything ran extremely smoothly and brought together a team of specialists to deliver a first-class result."

"It is very exciting because the delivery of transmission oil must be guaranteed at all points."

“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.”

"When people really began doing cost analysis, the five minutes that a surgeon saved in the operating room did not compensate for the fact that the patient still had to come back to have the staples removed.”
