Atlanta, GA, February 5, 2004 - Quickparts, the leading provider of rapid prototypes and low-volume custom manufactured metal and plastic production parts, today announced the availability of a new white ABS-like Stereolithography (SLA) material for use in Rapid Prototyping and RTV patterns.
“For our customers that need functional detailed SLA parts, Quickparts is now offering a new Rigid ABS-like material (Somos 14120) that is strong, tough, and water resistant.” said Mark Mackie, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Quickparts. “Somos 14120 provides design engineers with a durable option without sacrificing any performance features. And with its white opaque appearance, Somos 14120 offers a similar look to traditional plastics such as ABS.”
