Proto Labs, Inc. (Proto Labs) operates as a digital manufacturer of custom parts worldwide.

The company’s automated quoting and manufacturing systems are highly integrated with its manufacturing and fulfillment systems, which allow it to offer a vast array of manufacturing technologies in a variety of materials across a continuum of lead times and prices. The company’s technology-enabled digital engineering and manufacturing applications enable it to produce commercial-grade plastic, metal, and liquid silicone rubber parts in as fast as one day.

The company’s customers engage with it throughout the lifecycle of their product, from early-stage prototyping through end-use production to end-of-life replacement and other parts needs that the company fulfills through a combination of factories and manufacturing partners. Through its factories, the company manufactures prototype and low volume production parts for companies worldwide, who are under increasing pressure to bring their finished products to market faster than their competition. The company utilizes injection molding, computer numerical control (CNC) machining, 3D printing and sheet metal fabrication to manufacture custom parts for its customers. The company had manufactured over 617 million parts for customers. For most of its offerings, the company’s proprietary technology eliminates most of the time-consuming and expensive skilled labor conventionally required to quote and manufacture parts.

Through the acquisition of Hubs in 2021, the company provides its customers access to a global network of premium manufacturing partners who reside across North America, Europe and Asia. The manufacturing partner network, complements the company’s in-house manufacturing, enabling it to significantly increase the size, complexity, breadth of manufacturing processes, lead times and prices of the parts it produces. In January 2024, the company rebranded Hubs to the Protolabs Network by Hubs (Protolabs Network).

The company’s customers conduct nearly all their business with it over the Internet. The company targets its products to the millions of product developers and engineers who use three-dimensional computer-aided design (3D CAD) software to design products across a diverse range of end-markets, to the procurement and supply chain professionals seeking to easily and efficiently source custom parts on-demand, and to a wide variety of customers seeking to purchase custom parts.

The company’s primary manufacturing product lines include Injection Molding, CNC Machining, 3D Printing and Sheet Metal.
