If price is your driver, then the MPP option is best. MPP offers three plastic materials to choose from and parts are received in approximately 8-11 business days. Instant online quoting is available for parts up to 12” in size; however this process can accommodate part sizes much, much larger.
If speed is the priority for your machining project then QuickCutCNC, the newest addition to the Quickparts family, is your best option. QuickCutCNC boasts a 3-5 day lead time and offers over 30 different plastic and metal materials to choose from including specialized PEEK and Ultem materials. Design guidelines are used for this process in order to produce parts with such a fast lead time.
If a high level of precision is required, the CNC machining option is the right choice. This process is the most comprehensive machining option available regarding capabilities, finish options, material options and part dimensions. Lead times vary based on project requirements, but can be as quick as 6-8 days depending on geometry. |
