Testimonials
- "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
- "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
- “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
- "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 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

Carson Matthew Flear, son of Brianna Leaman and Joel Flear, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at 18 months old in 2019. It took his life in June 2022.

A cast plaster remembr ance of Carson’s hand was provided by the Hershey Medical Center to the family.

As friends of ProtoCAM, the Leaman/Flear family asked us if there was a way to preserve the delicate plaster casting so that the family would be able to handle and display it.

We called on our Supply Chain partners, Direct Dimensions, in Owings Mill, MD and RePliForm, in Baltimore, MD, to help us deliver a remembrance that could be strong and handled by the family without concern for breakage.

Direct Dimensions scanned the plaster casting and created an STL model of the hand. ProtoCAM then created the hand from the STL model using Stereolithography (SLA). The 3D printed model was delivered to RePliForm and they provided a nickel/bronze patina plating over the 3D printed SLA part to enhance and preserve it.

We are appreciative of the Leaman/Flear family for entrusting us to help them preserve this remembrance, as well as Direct Dimensions and RePliForm for their support in this effort for our friends.
