ProtoBear Information

ProtoBear is a product development, 3D scanning, and manufacturing partner that helps inventors, entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses turn ideas into real, market-ready products. We guide clients from concept through engineering, prototyping, scanning, reverse engineering, tooling, manufacturing, packaging, quality, and delivery. Rather than sending clients between designers, prototype shops, factories, and vendors, ProtoBear helps manage the full path from concept to manufactured reality. Our capabilities include: • Product development focusing on Patentable Design • Mechanical engineering and CAD • Design for Manufacturing (DFM/DFA) • Prototyping and iteration • Advanced 3D scanning and digital capture • Reverse engineering and scan-to-CAD • Metrology and inspection support • Tooling and production coordination • Low-volume and mass manufacturing • Packaging and product commercialization support 3D scanning is a major part of what we do. ProtoBear uses advanced professional-grade scanning, metrology, and reverse-engineering tools to capture complex geometry, reproduce parts, inspect components, and create accurate digital models for engineering and production. We provide both professional 3D scanning services and complete scanning technology solutions for organizations building internal capabilities. ProtoBear is an authorized reseller and implementation partner for Artec 3D, AESUB, Geomagic software, and PolyWorks software. We help customers select the right scanner and software, integrate the tools into their workflow, and provide training and implementation support. The same professional tools we recommend and sell are the tools we rely on in our own engineering and scanning work. From concept to creation, ProtoBear helps you build it right—and get it made. 🐻
