protosnap.site was founded in 2017 in Montreal by mechanical engineers and industrial designers who recognized the democratizing power of additive manufacturing. Our state‑of‑the‑art facility houses SLA, SLS, FDM, and PolyJet machines capable of producing prototypes ranging from microscopic medical components to large architectural models.
We serve entrepreneurs, product developers, research labs, and artists across Canada, providing end‑to‑end services: design consulting, material selection, post‑processing, and quality assurance. Our team includes PhD‑level materials scientists and certified AM technicians who guide you through DFM (Design for Manufacturability) reviews, tolerance analyses, and mechanical testing. We support both short‑run prototypes and low‑volume production runs, ensuring rapid turnaround without compromising print integrity.
Quality control is built into every step: digital part inspections, dimensional verifications using CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines), and mechanical stress testing. We offer a broad palette of thermoplastics, resins, and metal‑injection materials, as well as secondary processes like CNC machining, anodizing, and painting to achieve finished parts ready for final assembly or market introduction.
