Protolabs invests in six new ARBURG ALLROUNDERS

ARBURG are extremely pleased to be Protolabs - Europe preferred injection moulding machine partner in Telford and to support continued growth at Protolabs. 

Six new ARBURG ALLROUNDERS were delivered recently. Taking the number of ARBURG injection moulding machines on-site to nearly 60. 

Since 2013 when the first machine was delivered, the ALLROUNDER technology has played a key part in ensuring that Protolabs have remained at the forefront of their market and we look forward to working closely with the team at Protolabs to ensure that this continues. 

Protolabs have ALLROUNDERs with clamp forces ranging from 400 kN to 5500 kN ; with both thermoplastic & LSR moulding capabilities. 

Protolabs is the world's fastest digital manufacturing source for custom prototypes and low-volume production parts. The technology-enabled company uses advanced 3D printing, CNC machining and injection moulding technologies to produce parts within days. The result is an unprecedented speed-to-market value for product designers and engineers worldwide. 
Aspects: 
•       An automated quoting system and proprietary software translate digital 3D CAD models into instructions for high-speed manufacturing equipment. The result is parts that are shipped in 1 to 15 days. 
•      The company is anchored by three flagship services: 3D printing (additive manufacturing), CNC machining and injection moulding. 
•      Additive manufacturing employs advanced 3D printing technologies that can create extremely accurate prototypes with complex geometries. Additive parts are built by stereolithography, selective laser sintering, Multi Jet Fusion, PolyJet and direct metal laser sintering processes, and in a range a plastics and metals. 
•      Protolabs uses 3 axis milling, 5 axis indexed milling, and turning to machine engineering-grade plastic and metal prototypes and functional end-use parts in quantities of less than 200. 
•      Injection moulding is used for quick-turn prototyping, bridge tooling and low-volume production of up to 10,000+ parts. More than 100 thermoplastics, and thermoset polymers (including liquid silicone rubber) are offered. 
•      Across Europe we currently employ around 700 people.
•      As a manufacturing resource with facilities across Europe, we remain fully operational during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
•      We are continuing to invest in the latest technology, bespoke design software and the skills of our people.
