  • Testimonials

    • “ProtoCAM's turnaround times are exceptional, and their prices compared to others are always better. There's a lot more value added in working with ProtoCAM.” — Matthew Bellenoit, B. Braun Medical
    • "As an emerging 3D modeling student at DeSales University, it was an incredibly valuable opportunity to learn more about the new innovations in 3D printing technology and how ProtoCAM couples its technical expertise with artistic value such as custom finishing to deliver a final product that exceeds the client's expectations." — Austin Kaplan, Desales University
    • "The Carbon [Digital Light Synthesis] 3D printing process was the perfect half step between late-stage functional prototyping and production. Aesthetics were crucial, and unless told otherwise, no one was able to identify the product was 3D-printed. [The process] accelerated business development and helped reduce risk as we approached tooling." — Michael DiCanzio, independent
    • "ProtoCAM has been most helpful in responding to our needs. Their knowledge of stereolithography and CAD, and their application of these technologies has helped us reshape our ideas to reality in the shortest possible time frame." — Kenneth Raines, B. Braun Medical
    • “ProtoCAM's best attribute is their attention to detail and customer service. Their willingness and desire to keep in touch with me is impressive, and physical walkthroughs ensure quality standards are being met.” — Todd Frick, Versatek
    • "Our first experience with ProtoCAM last month was excellent. Quoting was prompt, engineering emailed and we spoke on the phone about a potential issue with the geometry of the parts so there were no surprises, the service was fast and delivery quick, the printed parts were of excellent quality, and all of the staff I dealt with were courteous and professional. You guys knocked it out of the park!" — Chris Davenport, RPC

Most of our customers and prospective customers are familiar with our engineer-assisted quoting form: you simply head on over to our Request a Quote page, fill out your information, upload your parts files, and hit submit, at which point our experienced engineers will review your project and personally get back to you, generally within just a few hours. But have you tried our Instant Quoting Platform?

With our instant quoting platform, users are able to upload their 3D CAD files and immediately see real-time costs in a variety of technologies, materials, and finish options prior to placing an order. This system allows users to order parts more quickly, and helps to accelerate the 3D additive manufacturing process. Our current technologies compatible with instant quoting are SLA, MJF, SLS, FDM, and PolyJet.

“We understand there is a big gap in the additive manufacturing space when it comes to quoting—most companies offer either an online platform with little or no customer support, or they offer full support with no instant option. We want to be the first to offer our customers both options—instant pricing as well as engineering support and customer service. We are always looking for ways to improve our customer experience, and we feel this will be the best option for any level project.” – Ed Graham, Vice President of Additive Manufacturing at ProtoCAM

Instantly quoted projects can be reordered with the click of a button, with the additional option to make changes to materials, finishing options, etc. Within the platform, users can also experience how different materials and finishes change their final quote, which allows them to make appropriate budgetary decisions.

Need extra help? Our QuickTips for Instant Quoting video series answers common questions we receive from real customers regarding our instant quoting system. Our instant quoting introductory video is also very helpful if it’s your first time utilizing our instant quoting platform, as is our PDF Users Guide.

Of course, our engineer-assisted quoting form is still always available to our customers; in fact, introducing our instant quoting platform has the dual benefit of allowing our engineers to shift their focus to aiding customers with projects requiring additional assistance. The platform helps to streamline the quote-requesting process for our customers and prospective customers, and makes it easier than ever for their 3D additive manufacturing projects to be printed, finished, and delivered.
