Case Study: Lourd’innov accelerates prototype development with Protolabs CNC machining

Lourd’Innov Harnesses Rapid Machining Service for the Development of Steripass® Range

Lourd’innov, a fledgling French medical equipment company, needed to rapidly produce working prototypes for its Steripass® transfer system. Their normal subcontractors had lead times of 4-6 weeks, which was too slow for their urgent project and put them at a competitive disadvantage. They turned to the rapid CNC machining service from Protolabs for a solution.

Protolabs provided an unbeatable turnaround, delivering initial parts in just 3 days. This speed allowed Lourd’innov to finalize prototypes quickly and complete their design review with a physical part, a key advantage that set them apart from larger, less flexible competitors. The quality of the machined parts was excellent, and the interactive ProtoQuote® system helped them compare design options efficiently. As a result of this successful partnership, Lourd’innov now instinctively uses Protolabs for all new developments and adaptations.
