  • 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
    • "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
    • "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'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
    • "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 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

In honor of Earth Day, ProtoCAM recently partnered with Northern Lehigh School District to help provide hands-on education about recycling to first grade students. The project culminated with ProtoCAM’s donation to a future STEM Resource Room at Peters Elementary School.

A bird feeder created from recycled materials

This project, entitled “STEM for All, STEM for Good,” was intended to be accessible by children of all ages, even young learners, and beneficial for the environment. A recycling lesson was delivered to all of the first grade classes at Peters Elementary School in Northern Lehigh School District virtually on a virtual learning day via a pre-recorded video; this educational session was then followed by a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) project proposal for the students to follow.

The STEM project presented to the students involved working with a family member to create a bird feeder using only recycled materials. Students then presented their unique feeders in school, and the feeders were subsequently hung outside to showcase to the rest of the students (and for the birds to enjoy!).

ProtoCAM supported this project, and also donated money for each feeder created, which will be used to purchase materials to start a STEM Resource Room at Peters Elementary School. Upon completion, the room will be available for all teachers in the school to use and further educate their students on STEM topics and environmental sustainability.

ProtoCAM was so thrilled to be apart of this project, which both helped to educate students in STEM topics, as well as promote environmental sustainability. To check out all the feeders created during the project, check out our Instagram by clicking here!
