The digital manufacturing company unveiled to
customers its advanced e-commerce system built to accelerate online
quoting, design analysis, and ordering.
Digital manufacturing leader Protolabs (NYSE: PRLB) has launched
its new digital quoting and design analysis platform to its
U.S.-based customers, following a successful launch late last year
to its European-based users.
“Protolabs was founded on a digital manufacturing model that
would dramatically reduce the time it took to get parts—and it was
a success. Twenty years later we’ve reinvented manufacturing once
again with the launch of an all-new digital experience to our
customers that reaffirms our position as the global leader in
digital manufacturing services,” said Protolabs’ VP and GM of
Americas, and incoming CEO, Rob Bodor.
The new platform has a modern, user-friendly interface that lets
engineers better manage their project requirements, collaborate
easier with colleagues, and see new levels of transparency into
their orders. Like the previous platform, its flagship
feature—interactive design for manufacturability (DFM)
analysis—remains, but is more intuitive than ever before.
“We listened to hundreds of our customers to learn about their
design analysis and quoting needs and then built our new quoting
platform around those needs,” said Mark Flannery, global product
director for e-commerce at Protolabs. “We then thoroughly tested
the platform with our customer base to refine it even further. The
result is a digital quoting system designed entirely around an
elevated user experience that accelerates their product development
cycle every step of the way.”
With the launch, three of Protolabs’ services—molding,
machining, and 3D printing—are now united in a single platform for
a much easier quoting and ordering experience. Injection molding
users can now view and discuss gate and ejector pin layout before
ordering tooling and parts. With CNC machining, threading
assignments have been drastically simplified to let users quickly
assign required threads. And 3D printing customer can now see
per-part pricing with itemized costs as well as self-select their
desired delivery date for each part within an order at
checkout.
“Unprecedented changes in many of our markets are underway due
to customer demand and the ongoing pandemic, but technological
advancement in manufacturing are throwing the doors of innovation
wide open to allow suppliers and their customers to pivot quickly,”
added Rich Baker, Protolabs’ CTO who led the launch of the
platform. “And that agility is often the difference between success
and failure.”
The digital quoting platform is now live for all of Protolabs’
U.S. customers at protolabs.com.
