Prototek Manufacturing

CNBC and Fox Business News recently aired a segment of "21st Century Business" in which Prototek Sales Manager Dennis Rocheford explained a bit about his company. Originally in the sheet metal rapid prototyping prototyping business, they've been expanding their capability and now include stereolithography and 3D printing with ZCorp machinery.

Prototek is a large rapid prototyping company that provides a wide variety of rapid prototyping capabilities, including engineering, CNC laser/punch/form/bend/machining, shearing, graining, welding, finishing, etc.

Two interesting aspects to this: We can see a traditional manufacturing company starting to introduce new 3D manufacturing methods beside the traditional CNC equipment; Mainstream media is picking up on the technology once again.
