panel of product development and design leaders
Rapid manufacturer Proto Labs has announced the addition of
Andrew Erlick, Director of Hardware, Design & Technology at
Indiegogo, to its Cool Idea! Award panel of judges. The award

thousands of creative, entrepreneurial and cause-related inventions
brought to market through the power of recognizing a good idea.
Erlick notes that he is excited to take on the role, and
encourages young designers to apply. “I'm honored to join this
group of esteemed judges. There are so many great ideas locked away
in people's heads and Proto Labs empowers people to get these
inventions out of their heads and made into physical products. I
always get excited when I spot something truly unique that goes
onto sell millions,” says Erlick.
