Our take
Digital manufacturing uses digital technologies like artificial intelligence and data analytics to automate and accelerate the manufacturing process. Protolabs helps manufacturing companies speed up the production of their products by producing components via its automated quoting and manufacturing system.
Focussing on commercial-grade plastic, metal and liquid silicone rubber, Protolabs operates across the entire manufacturing pipeline. In the first instance of development, its data analysis tools can highlight any potential problems that could arise in production, before they do. Automated manufacturing quotes are processed within hours and the parts required within days, backing up Protolabs’ claim to be the “world's fastest digital manufacturing service”.
The proof is in the pudding, but Protolabs' stats certainly back up this claim. Serving 60 countries and with 12 manufacturing facilities across the world, its clients include Google X and Paralympic-grade prosthetic limb company BioDapt. Its diverse range of clients speaks volumes about Protolab’s adaptability and efficiency in the digital manufacturing sector.
