Exceptional experience with thin-film welding and sub-assembly. Highly recommend.

Strengths: Great communication and technical expertise. Willingness to suggest design improvements to enhance manufacturability.

Needs to improve: They are busy, so lead times can be long, but they are always good about communicating constraints early-on.

Speed 4 / Price 5 / Quality 5

Good experience and very pleased with the testing performed.

Strengths: Great communication and very knowledgable. On-time reports. On-line portal system for viewing status of testing is helpful.

Speed 5 / Price 5 / Quality 5

Great experience and exceptional parts.

Strengths: Great quality of work and communication. Great technical ability and competence. Great customer service and engineering/support staff.

Needs to improve: MWJ does not have a CMM machine or optical scanner and, therefore, cannot provide as detailed inspection data as other suppliers. MWJ is not ISO 13485-certified.

Micro Waterjet got a vision system to help with inspection. The parts were always great, but we had to rely on an optical comparator for inspection. Now I can get quantitative data.

R & D / Engineering , Medical Device
03/13/2014

Speed 1 / Price 3 / Quality 2

Mediocre experience overall.

Strengths: Flexible with early-stage projects.

Needs to improve: High staff turnover makes continuity challenging. Miss deadlines with minimal, if any, communication. Quotes can be misleading.

R & D / Engineering , Medical Device
03/13/2014

Speed 4 / Price 5 / Quality 5

Great overall experience with multiple orders.

Strengths: Great quality of parts and work. Good communication and hit their quoted timelines. Competitive prices.

Proto Labs - Great CNC for non-precision parts


R & D / Engineering , Medical Device
03/13/2014

Speed 5 / Price 5 / Quality 4

Great experience. Have ordered from them more than once and will continue if I need one-off or low quantity parts. Great for manufacturing fixtures.

Strengths: The whole process is quick and seamless. The Quoting Process is quick and accurate. Costs are competitive and you get charged what the quoting system says. The orders can be made online and parts ship when made.

Needs to improve: Biggest weakness is that they offer no inspection services that I am aware of. The tolerances are a bit generous as well. So, it's not good for precision parts. Other weaknesses are that they don't have a Mac version of the part visualization plug-in and are ISO 13485 certified.
