Proto Lam LLC
Proto Lam LLC is a California-based specialty manufacturer founded in 2017 with a singular focus: producing high-quality motor laminations in the quickest, most efficient manner possible, with an emphasis on prototype and short-run quantities at low tooling cost and short lead times. The company works across the full spectrum of lamination materials — cold rolled motor lamination steel, silicon (electrical) steel, nickel alloys, and cobalt alloys including Hiperco and Vanadium Permendur — and positions itself as a design partnership resource, often engaging customers in the earliest stages of their electromagnetic device development. Proto Lam is a practical choice for motor and generator designers who need accurate lamination prototypes quickly, without the cost and lead time burden of high-production tooling.
