Overnight Rapid Prototyping

By DE Editors

RedEye RPM, an online rapid prototyping service, introduced Overnight Build next-day shipment, the first in a series of new services the company plans to launch. 

 “Product manufacturers are under constant pressure to bring better products to market faster,” says product manager Tim Thellin. “Overnight Build will deliver the working prototypes they need to quickly adjust and validate designs and meet product release dates.”

From RedEye’s Web site, users can obtain an instant price quote for parts that qualify for Overnight Build based on criteria such as size, quantity, run time, and geometry. Orders placed before 4 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday will qualify for next-day shipment. Initially, parts will be available in ABS white, with additional material options planned later in the year.

 “Overnight Build is the first of several new value-added services we will introduce in coming months under the service banner RedEye Premium,” says Thellin. “Our goal is to raise the bar in rapid prototyping and direct digital manufacturing with continued innovation both in materials, technologies and service.”

RedEye RPM is a business unit of Stratasys, a manufacturer of FDM (fused deposition modeling) rapid prototyping systems. Stratasys also distributes Arcam metal-based prototyping systems.
