About Us

Protoshop’s Beginings

Protoshop was founded by James Isaacs and Dylann Ceriani. Their background was in medical product development and both have extensive experience over hundreds of plastic part designs and prototype molds. They noted how existing prototype molding services often fell short of their needs. Existing prototype molding services often rejected complex part geometry, did not offer mold iterations, lead times for molds and parts were too long and part quality was poor.

They decided that there was a market need for improved prototype molding services and Protoshop was born. A proprietary prototype mold fabrication method was developed that allowed molds to be quickly fabricated with high quality while also allowing for rapid mold iterations.

What Makes Protoshop Unique

Protoshop is also unique in that we offer plastic part design. Other prototype molding services expect their clients to provide complete designs. We recognize that not everyone is a plastic part design expert. We enjoy working collaboratively with our clients to quickly optimize their part designs, a service not offered by others.

Finally, our extensive experience bringing products to market allows us to also offer assembly services using our prototype parts.

I have worked with Photoshop on several mold designs over the past year. From the moment I reached out to them with an inquiry, they were prompt in their communication and eager to assist me. I have greatly appreciated and benefited from their extensive expertise and prompt feedback. They consistently offering valuable suggestions and insights that ultimately saved us money in the overall design. As for the quality of work they provided, Dylann and her team have always come through. If any issues do arise, they have been quick to offer solutions and kept us up to date throughout the whole process. If you're looking for a reliable partner for your plastics molding needs, I would check them out.

Having worked with Dylann and Jimmy prior to Protoshop, I knew the immense level of expertise they have for this business and it proved to carry through. They are honest straight shooters that will help guide you and find the best solution for your molds. We needed a mild that could be versatile and allow us to easily change out one side of the design. Dylann helped us come up with an approach that will allow us to continuously iteration the design without having to make a whole new mold every time.

Dylann and team are wonderful to work with. On multiple programs, they have delivered quality product in a matter of days. The design for moldability support is unparalled to ensure your part is ready to order.

We work regularly with Protoshop on a variety of complex components for various projects. They are an excellent company to work with providing a vast history of experience to help their clients optimize designs. We have worked with them on microfluidic chips with small feature sizes, over molded sealing parts and flexible parts. They have experience working with many materials including Topas (COC), polycarbonate, TPE, PE, and PP. I would highly recommend reaching out on your next project. The team is very responsive to design changes as well as delivering to tight timelines. They also offer design advice and best practices which have helped expedite design iterations.

Great experience with Protoshop. Dylann is extremely responsive and great to work with. Very fast turn-around. Worked with us on our order to get what we needed. I was able to drop ship 3d printed parts from another vendor to Protoshop to have them match-fit and incorporated into our tooling. I will be back again.

Dylann at Protoshop is excellent to work with: highly responsive and proactive. This is possibly the fastest, high-quality work I have ever witnessed. 1 week...from payment (start) to delivery (after CTQ measurements at Protoshop), we had 100 test samples of a component we intend to use in high volume manufacturing. Thank you for the tremendous work! I would highly recommend Protoshop, and will plan to use Protoshop services in the future.
