Get Machined Prototypes Within Five Days

A new CNC machining service provides engineers with CNC machined parts in less than five business days, with material options ranging from aluminum to more than 30 different plastics Users upload 3-D CAD files to a website, select the parameters of their project, and submit. According to Quickparts, customers generally will receive a quote within twenty four hours.

One advantage of the process over processes such as stereolithography, is that the machined parts serve as highly functional prototypes since they are constructed from actual production-grade plastics. Not many engineering-grade plastics can be modeled in the rapid prototyping processes.

Resins available include four grades of acetal, five grades of polyamide, and four grades of polycarbonate.
