Protomold is the injection-molding service of Proto Labs. Protomold can manufacture 1-10,000+ of plastic, metal, or liquid silicone rubber injection-molded parts.
Proto Labs is the world’s faster manufacturer of custom prototype and low- to mid-volume plastic, metal and liquid silicone rubber parts. Our proprietary software and automated manufacturing processes allow for quick-turn injection molding, CNC machining and additive manufacturing. Within our three services, we have multiple rapid prototyping and production processes to choose from. Each process serves a distinct purpose, from concept models to form, fit and function testing to short-run production that bridges the gap to large-scale manufacturing.
Product developers can upload their 3D CAD model online and receive an interactive quote with free design analysis and real-time pricing information within hours. The manufacturability analysis helps customers eliminate problems, like sink or internal undercuts, during prototyping so modifications can be made early and often. It’s an iterative process that lets designers and engineers avoid development speed bumps, so they can get their products to market as fast as possible.

Working with their customer service enabled a smooth overall experience. They turnaround parts in great time. Awesome company for seeing your early designs come to life. Highly recommended.
Strengths: Quick turnaround. Great website.
Needs to improve: Cost. Advanced parts can be tricky.
We have purchased several iterations of a handle assembly from ProtoMold. The parts were produced using both their 3D printing and CNC capabilities, and were dimensionaly very close to nominal with good surface finish.
Strengths: Rapid Prototyping
Needs to improve: none
