Proto Labs Joins MySolidWorks Manufacturing Network

Manufacturer Proto Labs Inc. has joined the MySolidWorks Manufacturing Network. This organization is designed to connect SolidWorks users to manufacturers in the 3D printing, sheet metal, CNC (computer numerically controlled) machining and injection molding industries.

By having Proto Labs as part of the network, designers can upload a 3D CAD model and get a quote and manufacturability analysis within hours, the company states.

“We are excited to partner with SolidWorks in this new way, to make it even easier for SolidWorks users to access Proto Labs’ services and have their new product designs manufactured in a few days across the range of our services,” said Robert Bodor, Proto Labs VP/general manager of the Americas. “Our online quoting tools have been designed to make this process seamless, and our global scale allows us to meet the needs of thousands of users a day for both prototyping and production.”
