Cost-Effective Prototyping
02 November 2012
Polymer specialist, igus UK, has launched a new rapid machining service – speedicut – where custom designed components can be manufactured and delivered in 24 hours.

As there are no minimum order quantities, speedicut is a cost- effective way of specifying one offs, prototyping and low volumes of components used in a variety of applications including medical technology, custom machine fabrication, maintenance engineering and plant engineering.
Like the proven speedigus rapid tooling system, speedicut uses a 2D or 3D model to produce a fast quotation, and parts can then be delivered within 24 hours. speedicut is a quick and easy process: engineers simply share their design, which can be a 2D or 3D CAD drawing, with igus experts via email or upload at www.igus.co.uk/speedicut, and specify material and requirements such as temperature or chemical resistance.
igus then sends a quote within 24 hours and the advanced speedicut machining cell produces parts and delivery in the lead time selected, with options ranging from one to 10 days for 100 pieces.
