Quickparts Offers New Fused Deposition Modeling Finish Options for Rapid Prototyping
Quickparts (http://www.quickparts.com), one of
North America's largest providers of custom designed parts, from rapid
prototyping to production parts, today announced the availability of
new finish options for use in the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Rapid
Prototyping process.
"For our customers that need functional parts, FDM has always been a great
process option. Unfortunately, until now, it did not have a great surface
finish and that limited how our customers could use it. Now with these new
finish options, we have opened the door for our customers to use the FDM
process for both functional needs and show quality needs," said Patrick
Hunter, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Quickparts. "These new
finish options open the door for our customers to use fused deposition
modeling for their low volume digital manufacturing needs."
The finishing process is a smoothing process that removes the build layers
and provides a near injection molding quality finish. The smooth finish is
available with either a gloss finish or a matte finish depending on the
desire of the customer.
FDM materials available for the new finish options include ABS and ABS-M30
production-grade thermoplastics. With such a large variety of materials to
choose from, customers are now able to use the FDM process as a tool-less
solution to their low volume manufacturing needs.
