Quickparts Ships ULTEM Material for Prototypes
 ATLANTA,
GA, May 20, 2009 - Quickparts, one of North America's largest providers of custom designed parts, from
rapid prototyping to production parts, today announced the availability of ULTEM, a high-performance engineering thermoplastic material, for rapid
prototyping.
ULTEM is a strong, high temperature, chemically resistant thermoplastic that
can be used across many industries for nearly any digital manufacturing
project, from functional prototypes to jigs & fixtures to low volume
production runs utilizing the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process.
“It has and continues to be our commitment to offer the latest materials,
innovation and technology available to the product development community.”
said Patrick Hunter, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Quickparts.
“The addition of ULTEM, to our already extensive line of materials, allows
us to continue our mission of making it easy for our customers to get custom
designed parts that meet their needs.”
ULTEM 9085 is certified for use on commercial aircrafts and has proven to be
successful for electric / electrical components, microwave applications,
pump and valve parts, and marine and automotive manufacturers.
In addition to its outstanding mechanical properties, the material also has
a high strength to weight ratio, V-Ø rating for flame, smoke & toxicity (FST)
and is durable enough to handle some flexing.
