QUICKPARTS.COM ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF THE FIRST
WEB-BASED E-COMMERCE SYSTEM FOR INSTANT QUOTING
AND PROCUREMENT OF RAPID PROTOTYPING PARTS
Huntsville, AL., January 3, 2000 - Quickparts.com, Inc. announced the
launch of the industry's first business-to-business e-commerce Web site for
quoting and purchasing Rapid Prototyped parts.
Quickparts.com provides the product development community a fully automated
E-commerce approach to dramatically simplify and speed up the traditional
process of quoting and purchasing rapid prototype parts.
At the heart of the Quickparts.com web site is QuickQuote(tm), a
revolutionary breakthrough in automatically and instantly analyzing a user's
custom geometry right on the web site.
QuickQuote(tm) will read the customers solid model, automatically orient the
part geometry for the best quality output for the chosen RP technology (SLA,
SLS, FDM), and instantly produce a price quotation and lead-time estimate.
The user then simply clicks the ORDER button, and the job of producing the
RP model in the chosen RP technology is instantly started.
This breakthrough approach to enable e-commerce for the RP industry will
shave precious time off of the traditional process of outsourcing RP parts.
Engineering time required to obtain various quotes for RP parts is virtually
eliminated, and access to the instant quoting and ordering system is 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.
In today's competitive product development environments, time saved is
directly related to dollars saved.
"We are simply responding to what the market has been asking for, for quite
some time now", stated Ronald L. Hollis P.E., President of Quickparts.com.
"Our customer-centered market research indicated that the top two needs of
the RP out-sourcing industry are first, low prices for RP parts, and second,
fast turn-around time for quotes."
"Quickparts.com directly addresses both of those needs."
