Protolabs is looking to boost supply chain capacity in the UK and help customers manage costs with the launch of a new flexible lead-time option for CNC machining services. The service will give clients in the aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical and prototyping markets the opportunity to choose a manufacturing solution for the shipping of parts from 6 to 12 days when placing an order on its e-commerce platform. Protolabs’ latest introduction is in addition to its standard delivery of just 3 days, and as little as 1 day for expedited projects.

David Ewing, product manager for Protolabs’ CNC machining service, says: “We are known in the market for the rapid delivery of prototypes and finished parts. However, not every order requires an ultra-fast response, so our new CNC flexible lead-time option allows customers using our e-commerce platform to upload their CAD files and see how changing the delivery date alters the price.”
