Our Injection Molding product line uses our 3D CAD-to-CNC machining technology
for the automated design and manufacture of thermoplastic, metal or liquid silicone
injection molds, which are then used to produce custom injection-molded parts
on commercially available equipment. Our Injection Molding product line is used
for prototype, on-demand and short-run production. Prototype quantities typically
range from 25 to 100 parts. Because we retain possession of the molds, customers
who need short-run production often come back to Proto Labs’ Injection Molding
product line for additional quantities typically ranging up to 10,000 parts or
more. They do so to support pilot production for product testing or while their
tooling for high-volume production is being prepared, because they need on-demand
manufacturing due to disruptions in their manufacturing process, because their
product will only be released in a limited quantity or because they need end-of-life
production support. These additional part orders typically occur on approximately
half of the molds that we make, typically accounting for approximately half of
our total Injection Molding revenue.
CNC Machining
Our CNC Machining product line uses commercially available CNC machines to cut
plastic or metal blocks into one or more custom parts based on the 3D CAD model
uploaded by the product developer or engineer. Our efficiencies derive from the
automation of the programming of these machines and a proprietary fixturing process.
The CNC Machining product line is well suited to produce small quantities, typically
in the range of one to 200 parts.
3D Printing
Our 3D Printing product line includes stereolithography (SL), selective laser
sintering (SLS) and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) processes, which offers
customers a wide-variety of high-quality, precision rapid prototyping and low
volume production. These processes create parts with a high level of accuracy,
detail, strength and durability. 3D Printing is well suited to produce small quantities,
typically in the range of one to 50 parts.
