  ATLANTA, GA, May 19 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
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 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-O rating for flame, smoke &
toxicity (FST) and is durable enough to handle some flexing.
