Legacy
Founded in 1995, PROTOTEC is one of the oldest 3D printing service providers in the industry. Over the years, the company grew steadily, making small yet consistent strides in an era when digitalization was still in its infancy.
In 2019, Torsten Wolschendorf assumed leadership as part of an age-related succession plan. However, the following years brought significant challenges. The Diesel-Gate scandal, the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, and the subsequent economic crisis kept the company in „crisis mode.”
Despite these hurdles, PROTOTEC continued to invest in its future. The portfolio expanded, enabling a growing number of solutions and applications. The company evolved from a prototyping specialist into a full-scale service provider for series and application-based 3D printing.
Today, PROTOTEC enjoys an excellent reputation in the market and among its customers, earning recognition as a trusted solution provider in the additive manufacturing industry.
