Protomold announces larger mould size, hardware upgrade.

Rapid injection moulding specialist, Protomold is delighted to announce that it can now offer injection moulded parts up to 770mm x 340mm x 150mm (2 x 75mm); more than two and a half times the length and almost 50% wider than its previously largest mould. This significant leap in manufacturing capability comes at the same time as the company has upgraded to a 1.9 teraflop multi-processor analysis hub. At the heart of Protomold’s service is ProtoQuote, its online parts ordering and quotation system. This uses sophisticated, proprietary software designed and developed to analyse 3D CAD models - uploaded by Protomold customers - and to deliver detailed cost and manufacturability reports in as little as an hour.

Customers can interact with the Protomold online system from anywhere in the world to view quotes, amend and update quote requirements, access large volumes of detailed information regarding design and manufacturing tips and best practices, check shipping details and order parts. Injection moulded parts can now be ordered almost as easily as a book on Amazon.com.

As well as the new, bigger machines and the hardware upgrade, additional Protomold developments in 2008 include a web based customer portal to further improve the customer’s experience. Users enjoy a secure login to a personalised home page where they can access all the information they require to obtain quotes, review part design feedback, place orders and pay online.
