Proto Labs Expands Facilities

Proto Labs has acquired a new facility to expand its 3D printing services. The 77,000 sq. ft. space will house the company’s stereolithography, selective laser sintering and direct metal laser sintering technology under one roof.

The equipment, according to the company, will help produce nylon and metal parts.

“Since the launch of 3D printing at Proto Labs, we’ve increased our material selection and improved our turnaround time to days. We have also introduced additive services in Europe,” says Rob Connelly, Proto Labs’ VP of Additive Manufacturing. “Our state-of-the-art facility will be a critical driver in advancing 3D printing for many years to come.”
