We're turning 20! Thanks for getting us here.

 

Time flies! It has been two decades since we launched our small manufacturing startup with a single injection moulding press and CNC machine. Since then we’ve grown into a digital manufacturing company with facilities across three continents that house more than 1,000 machines, presses, and printers. In 2018 alone we shipped more than 47 million parts! Thank you for partnering with us over the years to push product innovation into the future. We can't wait to see what the next 20 years holds.

 

A Brand Evolution

 



"Protolabs has set up an unprecedented process that not only allowed me to take a concept to completion in a very short time, but the way they have automated everything turned out to be surprisingly helpful."
