Quickparts Offers Rubber-Like Material for Prototypes
 ATLANTA,
GA, Aug 27, 2008 - Quickparts, one of North America's largest providers of
custom designed parts, from rapid prototyping to production parts, today
announced the availability of the new TangoPlus rubber-like material for use
in Rapid Prototyping. This new material offers exceptional elongation at
break, excellent strength, and a high resistance to tearing. It addresses a
broad range of prototyping applications requiring rubber-like flexibility
and durability, such as gaskets and hoses, seals, athletic toys, footwear
and more.
The new material offers an unmatched combination of mechanical properties
that sets a new standard in rubber-like performance. At 218%, the elongation
at break of TangoPlus is more than double that of any other rapid
prototyping material available on the market. It is highly resistant to
tearing and has a Ross Flex measurement in excess of 150,000. Thus,
TangoPlus offers outstanding resistance to deterioration, making it ideal
for models that are likely to be exposed to long use or rough handling.
TangoPlus FullCure930, a semi-translucent Elastomers, builds on the
success of the market-proven TangoGray and TangoBlack materials, which also
offer specific levels of elasticity. With the addition of TangoPlus to the
Tango family, Quickparts provides the widest range of rubber-like materials
in the rapid prototyping and 3-D modeling market.
“By expanding our range of materials, we enable product developers more
freedom to design for their specific applications,” said Patrick Hunter, VP
of Sales and Marketing. “It continues to be our mission to make it easy for
our customers to buy custom designed parts that meet their needs, including
applications requiring rubber-like flexibility and durability.”
