Adding New Product Lines Solidifies Quickparts as the "Home Depot" for Custom Parts

ATLANTA, GA, Jun 16 (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 that they will be offering both Plaster and Metal
Casting to their already extensive product line portfolio.

Rapid Prototyping (RP) is often used with plaster molding processes to
circumvent or transition to the production of hard tooling. This is
accomplished by creating a rubber mold from an RP-generated pattern. The
rubber mold then is used to create plaster molds for casting production.
Plaster casting often serves as a precursor to die casting production
while the hard tool is being made.

Die casting, a form of metal casting, is the process of forcing molten
metal under high pressure into mold cavities. Most die castings are made
from non-ferrous metals, specifically aluminum, zinc, copper, and
magnesium, although ferrous metal die castings are possible. The die
casting method is especially suited for applications where large
quantities of small to medium sized parts are needed with good detail, a
fine surface quality and dimensional consistency. Die casting technology
has been advancing rapidly during the past twenty years, particularly in
the last decade.

"Quickparts is excited about continuing our mission of making it easy for
our customers to get custom designed parts by offering two additional
solutions, Metal and Plaster Casting. Understanding metal casting
fundamentals will aid product designers in making design decisions early
in the product development process that can have the maximum effect on
cost reduction and performance improvement," said Ron Hollis, Quickparts,
CEO and President. "The addition of both the Plaster and Metal Casting
lines, to our already extensive product lines, processes and materials,
allows us to continue to be The Single Source For Custom Parts for the
product development community," he continued.
