149 Protolabs Testimonials

“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."

“The Protolabs experts were responsible for modifying the non-machinable parts. We received a revised DFM 24 hours after submitting our parts and we immediately accepted it. If we had to redesign our parts, we would have lost quite a few days”.

“Ultimately, for specimens as big as this, we need to use an appropriately large system and special recording techniques to obtain the maximum possible resolution."

“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!”

“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."

“Deadlines for startups like ours are insane. We pushed the envelope in getting these parts done and that’s what is so appealing about Protolabs, you can turn things around in a hurry.”

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

“Speed and flexibility, being able to deploy different manufacturing options, and a commitment to customer service, are the main reasons we use Protolabs.”

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

“In the early development phase when ideas are not quite mature is where Protolabs' services really comes into their own.”

"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."

“FarmBot is helping consumers produce and grow their own food. It is much more than knowing where your food originated. With our open-source technology, anyone who wants to contribute and help us build the future of farming has that opportunity.”

“The net was definitely savings compared to our labor cost. It was more efficient in our testing as well. I’m able to get started sooner. My technicians definitely are happy.”

“The DFM (design for manufacturability) and the interactive quote system was extremely helpful and efficient. I loaded up my parts, the system gave me quick feedback, identified errors, and generally speaking, within 24 hours I got a quote on my latest design iteration, which was great.”
