Quickparts UK

At the start of every project, each customer uploads their design files before obtaining a quote. Files instantly upload to a proprietary system that checks the file integrity and ensures it’s ready to go. For certain 3D printing processes, like  DLP ,  SLA , and  SLS , Quickparts customers can  get an instant quote  from just a request and file upload to start a new project. For these projects, the process is seamless and fast, and project turnaround time can be a matter of just a few days. For more complex projects, design files need a manual review, but we work to ensure it’s completed quickly, and the process is just as easy! Setting Up for Success Each manufacturing process requires a different minimum thickness for the part to print successfully and without a feather edge. If the design file does not meet those minimum thicknesses, the end result can be warping or a rippled edge. Visit here for more details:  https://quickparts.com/gb/feather-edges-yo...

What is warping? “Warping” occurs with many 3D printing processes, particularly when heating and cooling are involved, which cause material shrinkage, where the corners of the print lift and detach from the build plate.  Stereolithography (SLA)  and  Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)  can be affected most by warping;  Digital Light Processing (DLP)  can also be affected, but it’s not common because the build envelope is so small. Of these, SLS has the most potential for warping. Our Quickparts team works to keep you aware of when a part can warp and what may cause it to do so. We watch for potential issues in everything from the design file to the temperature of our facility, the time of year, and when a piece will arrive at its destination and discuss any factors with you. These could include changing the shipping times, sending the part in a temperature-controlled shipping container, or adjusting your file. Visit here for more details:  https://quickpa...
