His solution was to automate the traditional manufacturing process by developing complex software that communicated with a network of mills and presses. As a result, plastic and metal parts could be produced in a fraction of the time it had ever taken before.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next decade, we would continue to expand our injection moulding envelope, introduce quick-turn CNC machining and open global facilities in Europe and Japan. In 2014, we launched industrial-grade 3D printing services to allow product developers, designers and engineers an easier path to move from early prototyping to low-volume production.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d10915495.570830991!2d-4.309788337403381!3d48.09256482803082!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x48707fcafb40f8cb%3A0x71ddc6daf00e45b9!2sProtolabs%20Ltd%20(UK)!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1572608627877!5m2!1sen!2suk\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Halesfield 8, Telford Shropshire TF7 4QN +44 (0) 1952 683047 customerservice@protolabs.de https:\/\/www.protolabs.co.uk\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[16,223,188],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-laboratories","category-mouldings","category-prototyping"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3z94H-10p","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pecm.co.uk\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pecm.co.uk\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pecm.co.uk\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pecm.co.uk\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pecm.co.uk\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3869"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.pecm.co.uk\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3869\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3871,"href":"http:\/\/www.pecm.co.uk\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3869\/revisions\/3871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pecm.co.uk\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pecm.co.uk\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pecm.co.uk\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
