“We recognize that market demand for additive manufacturing has
moved beyond prototyping and is being leveraged to create fully
functional parts at much larger scale,” said Greg Thompson,
Protolabs’ global product manager for 3D printing. “We are
committed to supporting that demand in a technology-agnostic manner
so that our customers get the best possible parts from the best
possible 3D printing technology.”
Protolabs is one of largest suppliers of custom 3D printing
services in the world, producing more than 100,000 printed
components every month across six different additive manufacturing
technologies.
“We’re very excited about the manufacturing options the Carbon
technology offers to our customers,” said Vicki Holt, President and
CEO at Protolabs. “It provides a cost-effective production solution
for geometric complexities that cannot be molded or otherwise
fabricated. We are committed to maintaining our market leadership
in being a single source supplier for on-demand services across a
multitude of manufacturing methods, and Carbon will help us do
that.”
Carbon DLS is frequently used for intricate designs that are
challenging to mold and durable 3D-printed components for end-use
applications. Protolabs is offering materials comparable to ABS and
polycarbonate, which have consistent mechanical properties akin to
injection molding.
“An important part of Carbon’s strategy is to empower engineers
around the world to design and bring to market better products made
with Carbon's Digital Light Synthesis technology. We're proud to
partner with Protolabs, a key player in the industry, to make the
Carbon Platform accessible to its customers,” said Phil DeSimone,
