Defense Tech BaseProtolabs offers CNC machining, injection molding, 3D printing and sheet-metal fabrication from prototyping through production.
Service scope and engagement fit
The published service menu separates manufacturing processes and distinguishes automated quoting from a discussion with its production team. Its CNC offering also references a manufacturing network. Those routes can differ in process capability, inspection and production arrangements; an online part quote should be checked against the actual drawing, quantity and data-handling requirements.
Questions before requesting a proposal
- Will this order use a Protolabs facility or its manufacturing network?
- Which tolerances, finish, material certification and inspection reports are included in the quoted process?
- How will revisions, tooling ownership and transfer from prototypes to repeat production be handled?
