A new material sample kit allows customers to touch, feel and compare standard resins and finishes for rapid prototyping.

Quickparts has released a new material sample kit that allows customers to touch, feel and compare standard resins and finishes for rapid prototyping (SLA, SLS, FDM) and Quickparts' new rapid injection moulding process, QuickTool Express (QTX).

The new material sample kit is available to customers for $75 plus shipping costs.

In turn, customers receive a sample of the 14 standard materials available from the most popular rapid prototyping processes.

Also included are multiple texture samples from Quickparts' new rapid injection moulding process, QuickTool Express.

With QuickTool Express, design engineers can now get instant online quotes for injection moulded parts delivered in 10 days or less.

"Product designers come to Quickparts not only to save time and money on prototypes and production parts, but also to learn about what's new in the market", said Mark Mackie, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Quickparts.

"By providing a material sample kit, we've made it easy for product designers to come to one place to find the right process and material, not only for the project at hand but also for the projects that haven't yet been conceived".
