  • Testimonials

    • "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
    • "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
    • "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
    • "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

Dale Bond doing training for Girl Scout camp

ProtoCAM loves educating and volunteering within our local community! Dale Bond, our Marketing Coordinator here at ProtoCAM, is currently out of the office for two weeks as she volunteers with a local Girl Scout camp. Bond attended the camp from a young age, and continues to volunteer there when she is able, acting as a mentor to young girls seeking adventure and outdoor education. While teaching girls about responsibility, ingenuity, safety, and more, Bond also hopes to share a little bit about what makes manufacturing so great while demonstrating some cool 3D printed parts, like our catapults.

We educate our local youth whenever we can, not just in the summertime! We regularly give school groups tours around our facility, and love meeting with students and learning about their career goals. We host a National Manufacturing Day event every year which is open to youth, school groups, and all interested others, and look forward to our upcoming event this year. Each year we give at least one tour to a class from Lehigh University in order to give them a closer look at the manufacturing and 3D printing processes, and to also lend some inspiration for their final 3D-printed projects. We also regularly attend the Lehigh students’ final critique to give suggestions, advice, and praise to their finished projects.

Educating Lehigh University students

Some other great outreach events we love engaging with students at include Dream It. Do It. PA’s 2018 annual student video contest, “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?”, where local manufacturers work together with local middle school teams to create videos, and Da Vinci Science center’s regular engineering and manufacturing events, where we get to create fun projects and experiments to educate students about 3D printing. Our latest endeavor to help educate our local youth is our decision to hire two interns, Ashley and Nolan, who will be with us through August.
