Case Study: Metasonixx achieves quieter, more productive spaces with Protolabs

Metasonixx scales acoustic panels from prototypes to thousands with Protolabs

Metasonixx, a UK start-up, aimed to solve the problem of unwanted noise in shared spaces like offices and schools. They needed to move their innovative acoustic metamaterial panels from costly 3D-printed prototypes to a scalable, commercial product. They partnered with Protolabs to access scalable injection moulding services.

Protolabs provided a flexible two-stage injection moulding solution, enabling cost-effective prototyping and then high-volume production. Their engineers also helped optimize the design and material selection, resulting in high-quality, translucent polycarbonate panels. With Protolabs' support, Metasonixx successfully commercialized its product, now used by companies worldwide to reduce noise and improve focus in various environments.
