Protolabs are a fantastic company which I have used in the past. They offer three types of service: CNC machining, injection moulding and 3D Printing. I particularly like their online tools to help with design and costing your parts.

Pros

  • Excellent online design and estimation tools
  • Short leadtimes and order processing
  • Great pricing for small batch quantities

Cons

  • Generally rely on process capability rather than inspection
  • Machined to CAD rather than manufacturing drawing
