What Our Customers Say

“Developing a standard enclosure via Protocase Designer with its parameterized sizing afforded complete design flexibility. It was very easy. Obtaining an automated quote within seconds was very helpful.”

John A. Forish
MonTech USA

“It is very easy to use. I can whip out a panel in an hour or so, and get it constructed, painted and lettered quickly and with very little work on my part.”

Steve Milner
W. M. Keck Observatory

"Literally the most satisfying design experience I've ever had - amazing how little time it took!"

Jeremy Mackie

"Design software is great, product is finished well, and shipping times are impressive."

Kelly Vannett

“As an experimental physicist, I’m not an expert on electronics or fabrication. I really like Protocase Designer because it’s very easy to use.”

Kenneth Libbrecht
California Institute of Technology

“The ability to go into Protocase Designer and do precise measurements was really important. I could technically do that in Illustrator or AutoCAD, but those aren’t really optimized for what I needed to do."

Jerry Whitaker
Whitaker Audio

“I think the ease of getting a quote is also extremely helpful when we are trying to come up with estimating the cost for our future builds.”
