Proto Labs: A Fast Track for New Products

This significant price reduction has been made possible by Protomold’s relentless investment in faster and more efficient manufacturing equipment and processes. A large proportion of this investment has been spent on the latest high-speed CNC machine centres, as well as upgrading to a 1.9 teraflop multi-processor analysis hub to power ProtoQuote™, its online quoting and ordering system.

It’s also thanks to these investments in new capital equipment that Protomold can now offer injection moulded parts up to 480 mm x 770 mm x 152.4 mm (76.2mm from a central parting line) in size.

Product designers submitting part models using the Protomold web-based quoting system, ProtoQuote™, will receive detailed manufacturability analysis and an all-in production price in as little as an hour.

Companies and design engineers who take advantage of Protomold’s rapid manufacturing process can easily react to last-minute design changes, schedule revisions and reduce time-to-market, whilst keeping costs within budget.
