A CAPACITY FOR GROWTH
Protolabs started in 1999 in a garage in Long Lake, Minnesota with a single injection molding press. At last count, we’re at more than 800 machines: roughly 450+ CNC mills/lathes, 200+ presses and 150+ 3D printers.

PRO(TO) TIP
Psst. You can get up to 10,000 injection-molded parts with aluminum tooling at Protolabs, but there’s a good chance we’ll be able to produce part runs well beyond that depending on material and geometry. Just sayin’.

SUITE OF SERVICES
Up until 2014, we had two manufacturing processes: plastic injection molding and CNC milling. Since then, we have added another EIGHT: four 3D printing processes (stereolithography, selective laser sintering, direct metal laser sintering, PolyJet), CNC turning, liquid silicone rubber injection molding, overmolding, and insert molding. It has been a busy three years.

DFM…ALL DAY, EVERY DAY
We’ve now quoted 1 million unique part numbers for machined parts stateside and 1 million unique part numbers for molded parts globally. That’s a whole lotta design for manufacturability analysis.
