Prototek Holdings LLC (\u201cPrototek\u201c), a leading North American provider of industrial 3D printing<\/a> and other digital manufacturing services for low-volume production, completed the acquisition of ProtoCAM, a premier industrial 3D printing<\/a> company located in Allentown, PA. ProtoCAM will merge into Midwest Prototyping, Prototek\u2019s additive manufacturing arm acquired in July 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe addition of ProtoCAM is another step toward achieving our ongoing goal of creating a platform able to meet customer demands in an Industrial 4.0 world. Our vision is a one-stop digital manufacturing solution with superior levels of quality and service. ProtoCAM is well suited to further that vision,\u201d commented John Pless, Part<\/a>ner at TruArc Part<\/a>ners and a Director of Prototek.<\/p>\n

\u201cRon and his team at ProtoCAM are a great fit for our growing additive division. They have been a fixture in the Northeast 3D printing<\/a> space for nearly 30 years and have built a business centered on meeting customer needs and producing great part<\/a>s. I\u2019m very happy to welcome ProtoCAM to the Prototek team,\u201d added Bill Gress, CEO of Prototek.<\/p>\n

The addition of ProtoCAM is part<\/a> of an ongoing expansion of Prototek\u2019s additive manufacturing capabilities and capacity. The acquisition adds innovative QuickCast technology, creating fast investment casting patterns for quick-turn metal part<\/a> production, to Midwest\u2019s already comprehensive 3D printing<\/a> capabilities. The merger also provides a much-needed increase in capacity for Midwest\u2019s core 3D printing<\/a> technologies, including HP\u2019s Multi Jet Fusion (MJF<\/a>), Stereolithography (SLA<\/a>), Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), and Carbon DLP<\/a> (Digital Light Processing).<\/p>\n

The company will continue to operate in all current locations encompassing ten facilities across the US, with over 300 employees and more than 240,000 square feet of manufacturing workspace. Ron Belknap, founder of ProtoCAM, and his management team will continue to oversee the day\u2013to\u2013day operations of the Allentown facility. Nate Schumacher, director of strategy and integration at Midwest Prototyping, and Ed Graham, Vice President of Additive Manufacturing at ProtoCAM, will lead the combination of business operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cRon and his team at ProtoCAM have been longtime friends to Midwest Prototyping and myself. As we set out to create a nationwide network of best-in-class additive manufacturing, ProtoCAM was at the top of our list in the East. We share a remarkably similar culture and customer focus and I can\u2019t imagine a better part<\/a>ner to join us in our effort to build out Prototek\u2019s 3D printing<\/a> offering,\u201d said Steve Grundahl, VP of Additive Manufacturing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been successful in steadily growing our business for years, but I knew that to grow the company the way I wanted and offer my team more career opportunities, I needed a strategic part<\/a>ner. I\u2019ve admired Steve and Midwest Prototyping since first meeting him over 20 years ago. We\u2019re \u2018Old Dogs\u2019 in this business and share a passion for additive manufacturing and for our customers, so when Steve reached out to me about joining Prototek with Midwest, I knew it was the right move. I\u2019m excited to see where we go from here,\u201d concluded Ron Belknap, Founder of ProtoCAM.<\/p>\n
