What they do
Protolis is a rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing specialist, founded as Prototech in 2008 and rebranded in 2024. Its team of more than 40 professionals is based in China and Europe, and it serves customers worldwide.
Its two in-house workshops handle CNC machining, vacuum casting, 3D printing and injection molding, with seven production processes and more than 200 material grades. Low-volume production is defined as starting at 100 units up to 1,000 units, bridging prototyping and mass manufacturing.
The company states ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certification, and says it sends a DFM review and quote within 24 to 48 hours. Extrusion and metal forming are offered through manufacturing partners rather than in house.
