Huntsville, AL, December 15, 1999 - Quickparts.com, Inc. announced the pre-release of the industry's first Web-based quoting and procurement system for purchasing Rapid Prototyped parts.

At the heart of the Quickparts.com web site is QuickQuote™, a revolutionary breakthrough in automatically and instantly analyzing a user's custom geometry right on the web site. QuickQuote™ 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.
"We have made Quickparts.com accessible during our Pre-Release in order to solicit feedback from our customers on site content, quoting process, and ordering simplicity", stated Ronald L. Hollis P.E., President of Quickparts.com . "This feedback will help us tremendously, as we will then tidy things up in time for the National Commercial Launch of Quickparts.com planned for January 3, 2000."
