Website offers online quotes for rapid prototyping

Online pricing and ordering facilities for stereolithography and selective laser sintering parts are available on 3D Systems’ material evaluation website.

The company, which provides 3D modelling, rapid prototyping and manufacturing systems, says it’s all about enabling designers and engineers to experience the benefits of additive manufacturing technology. Effectively, 3D Systems is offering a custom part-building marketplace for rapid prototyping and direct manufacturing applications. You get instant access to evaluate 3D Systems’ materials and the ability to order parts built from Accura and DuraForm materials. Abe Reichental, 3D Systems’ president and CEO, says that ordered parts are manufactured on the company’s Pro Systems – Viper Pro SLA and Sinterstation Pro SLS – located in the rapid manufacturing centre.
