Quick-turn manufacturer Proto Labs, Inc. (NYSE: PRLB) has joined
the MySolidWorks Manufacturing Network, created to connect
SOLIDWORKS users with reliable manufacturers in the 3D printing,
sheet metal, CNC machining and injection molding industry. The
network provides users with quick access to manufacturing resources
like Proto Labs that, in turn, have a direct link to more than 2.5
million SOLIDWORKS users.

“Proto Labs is indicative of the type of company we are
partnering with in the network,” says Nick Iwaskow, Senior
Alliances & Partnership Manager, SOLIDWORKS, Dassault Systèmes.
“They are a reputable manufacturer that can produce parts quickly
and efficiently for SOLIDWORKS users.”
Once connected to Proto Labs, designers can upload a 3D CAD
model and receive an interactive quote with manufacturability
analysis within hours. Proto Labs’ advanced additive, machining and
molding processes manufacture custom prototypes and low-volume
production parts in as fast as one day.
“We are excited to partner with SOLIDWORKS in this new way, to
make it even easier for SOLIDWORKS users to access Proto Labs’
services and have their new product designs manufactured in a few
days across the range of our services,” explains Robert Bodor,
Proto Labs VP/General Manager of the Americas. “Our online quoting
tools have been designed to make this process seamless, and our
global scale allows us to meet the needs of thousands of users a
day for both prototyping and production.”
SOLIDWORKS WORLD (Feb. 8-11) is currently underway in Phoenix,
Arizona where attendees who visit either the Proto Labs or
SOLIDWORKS booth have an opportunity to receive a
championship-style, 3D-printed ring. The ring was manufactured
using Proto Labs’ SLArmor process, which takes stereolithography—an
additive technology that uses an ultraviolet laser to cure
thousands of thin layers together to build complex objects—to the
next level by plating it with a nickel coating. This provides the
look, feel and strength of metal, but without the weight.
