Quickparts offers same-day shipping

Quickparts, a North American provider of custom designed parts, from rapid prototyping to production parts, now offers its new “Same Day Shipping” option for stereolithography (SLA) parts. The focus os this new service is to ensure that product designers have an overnight option that is quick and easy to utilize. The simplicity of Quickparts.com makes it easy for designers to acquire their prototypes fast, simply by uploading an STL file, selecting a shipping option from the SLA calendar, and placing the order. The finished part can then be built and shipped for morning delivery the following day using FedEx Priority Shipping.

“Because our world has become more and more accustomed to instant gratification, we have developed solutions that can get our customers ahead of their competition and turn them into rock stars. Offering same-day shipping now gives them that opportunity,” said Patrick Hunter, VP of sales and marketing at Quickparts. “We strive to make every customer’s visit with us the best experience possible, and now we have empowered our customers with even more control on the speed in which they receive their parts.”

The new same-day shipping feature has initially been implemented for qualifying SLA orders, but Quickparts plans to add similar functionality for the remaining rapid prototyping processes (SLS, FDM, PolyJet and Cast Urethane parts) later this year. —Clare Goldsberry
