"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."

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

"Dentists were already using wedges in other procedures, but they were usually made of wood. We couldn’t use wood since it would absorb the materials used in the treatment after tooth separation, so we started the development of an appropriate plastic wedge."

“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 …

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

“Protolabs offered a totally unique service to our product designers that made our development process much faster. You just submit your 3D CAD model to the ProtoQuote automated online quoting system and you receive pricing, options and advice for improved mouldability within hours.”

“On parts where aesthetics are very important, it is easy to end up with deviations in colour or texture as a consequence of abrupt material acceleration."

”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.”

“They look good and there is no warping or cracking on the plastic part. We are definitely going to need more, so Protolabs can expect another order shortly.”

“Partnering with Protolabs was easy. We ended up with high fidelity hardware at a bargain price on a very competitive schedule.”

“This was an iterative design approach that was accelerated because of the quick turnaround of the quoting system. By using this process, I was able to better learn what was expected and what was possible for moldability. I was then able to think through how I would need to modify …

“The biggest deal for me was getting these parts done so quickly because I only had three months to design and build and test this very complex machine.”

“We could see the tooling and manufacturing costs virtually straight away, along with aspects of the product design that needed tweaking. We finalised the design quickly, and then Protolabs produced 500 cases within two weeks – which is exactly what we needed.”
