Watch to see how we use our FDM machine to create a customized 2-in-1 business card holder/ iPod, iPad, iPhone stand!! Visit partswithouttooling.com to learn more!

its one step closer to STAR TREK Until then, it is first step close to prototyping. Great for art! testing or just making something at home in case of emergency. 3D Printer @ CES 2010

With American manufacturing prowess at stake and with time running out, Johnny quickly explores the different options available for obtaining a rapid prototype quote for his new engineered part that just might save the world. It’s do or die in this exciting second episode of Johnny’s QuickFlix. Thanks to Quickparts(www.quickparts.com), he just might pull through!

Rapid Prototype Manufacturing Using digitalwax Systems

The DMM is about the size of a conventional microwave oven so there’s limits to the size of what you can make. It connects to your computer just like a printer. All you do is load the program that came with the DMM and then call-up whatever you have from your product File. Next, you click on the manufacture icon and the machine goes to work. Before long the picture on the computer monitor becomes the real thing. The process is no harder than calling up a picture and printing it out. Any product you want can be downloaded from a website except for the core materials and chemicals which would have to be ordered and shipped.
I’m not tring to sell anything. I just thought it would be nice to share an idea and find out if there is anything like it. What I am discribing is like a Rapid Prototype Machine (RPM). However, the differences are black & white compared to color. The DMM uses a variety of nanoscale materials and bonding agents and a RPM uses a wire feed polymer material.

The benefits of attending a regional AmCon show are significant. The Grand Rapids, Michigan event will be held at DeVos Place on September 17-18, 2008. The Top 10 Reasons to attend this event are:

1.  Save valuable time.  Meet scores of the finest local and national contract manufacturers exhibiting thousands of samples of custom parts and services.

2.  See the latest in manufacturing technology.

3.  Let the manufacturing experts help solve tough design and production problems.

4.  Shorten the buying process.  Meet with top management and technical personnel staffing the booths.

5.  Get immediate action.  It is not unusual for exhibitors to fax RFQ’s to their office and have quotes back before attendees leave the show.

6.   Get quotes from several sources at once for upcoming and current projects.

7.  Compare current suppliers to see how they measure up in cost, quality, and lead time.

8.  Attend free technical seminars; sending buyers to learn about a variety of processes.

9.  Let exhibitors educate buyers.

10.  Admission to exhibits and seminars is absolutely FREE.

According to Kati Olson, President, “We are excited to be returning to the Michigan market for this show later this month. AmCon is the only show in Michigan specifically targeting OEM engineering and purchasing professionals who are looking for job shop and contract manufacturing services. Highly qualified prospects, often with blueprints in hand, will come from throughout Michigan, and northern Indiana.”

Engineers and buyers attending an AmCon Contract Manufacturing Expo can find one or multiple sources to take a project from concept or prototype to finished product quickly and at competitive prices. OEMs can find sources for engineering, design, prototypes, forming, fabricating, machining, finishing, assembly and electronic manufacturing services all under one roof. Whether looking for one part or production runs, attendees find multiple sources from which to choose.  AmCon offers attendees a unique opportunity to investigate a variety of manufacturing options, both new and traditional, and find the best processes and materials for specific applications. Attendees view actual samples of products that have been produced for other OEMs in their industry and can get quotes on current projects and compare quality, pricing, and lead times from multiple vendors all in a few hours. Only AmCon shows provide a “hands on” one-on-one education.
