The digital manufacturer's winning project involved a
multi-toolpath engine that helped automate programming efforts in
order to reduce customer lead times and lower production costs. The
team at Protolabs developed toolpath generation software that
achieved extremely smooth surface finishes for injection molds
without increasing the milling time. The automation led to a
significant decrease in production costs while providing customers
with better quality surface finishes and shorter lead times. Given
this automation, Protolabs is able to offer customers the highest
quality on-demand manufacturing services at unprecedented
speeds.
“We’re honored to be recognized for this project,” said Vicki
Holt, President and CEO of Protolabs. “We are committed to helping
product developers from an array of industries succeed in bringing
products to market quickly, and to do that, it’s necessary for us
to place strong emphasis on continuous improvement, and more
specifically, digitization of workflows and processes. The
Multi-toolpath Engine project is a good example of how the fruits
of those efforts ultimately benefit our customers.”
This is the fifth consecutive year in which the company has
received a Manufacturing Leadership Award. Protolabs was previously
recognized for categories including Innovation Process Leadership,
Customer Value Leadership, Operational Excellence, and Manufacturer
of the Year.
Protolabs will be recognized at the 15th Annual Manufacturing
Leadership Awards Gala, which will be held on the last day of the
Manufacturing Leadership Summit, June 10-12, 2019 at the Hyatt
Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa in Huntington Beach,
CA.
