  • 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
    • “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
    • "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
    • "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
    • "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 was recognized for creating jobs that pay and their economic impact within the Commonwealth as part of the third annual Governor’s ImPAct Awards held at the Hershey Lodge in Hershey, Pennsylvania on May 21, 2015.

YellowGov“We’re honored to have been one of only five companies in the Lehigh Valley nominated for the governor’s Small Business Impact Award,” said Ronald L. Belknap, President and CEO of ProtoCAM. “It’s gratifying to receive external recognition for the company’s contribution to the state’s economy. I’m privileged to see the hard work and innovation of our dedicated team of additive manufacturing professionals on a daily basis, and it’s great to be honored as a state finalist. We look forward to celebrating this achievement with the other nominees at May’s awards luncheon.”

ProtoCAM was nominated for the ImPAct Awards in recognition of their decades of positive economic impact on the Lehigh Valley and state of Pennsylvania. In more than 20 years of operations, ProtoCAM has seen and helped industrial 3D printing grow from a little-know rapid prototyping technique into a technology widely predicted to drive the next industrial revolution.
