Technology & Products

Key Products

On-demand manufacturing services including 3D printing (metal and plastic), CNC machining, and injection molding. Proprietary materials include DuraKor (polypropylene-like impact resistance) and ThermaKor (nanocomposites for thermal stability).

Technological Advantage

Proprietary material science (DuraKor/ThermaKor) combined with automated Vapour Smoothing technology allows for end-use parts with superior surface finish and durability compared to standard 3D prints.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Bridges the gap between prototyping and full-scale production by offering 'Limitless Manufacturing' through proprietary materials, advanced post-processing, and a global network of ISO-certified facilities.

How They Differentiate

Quickparts differentiates through a 'high-touch' engineering approach and proprietary material science (DuraKor and ThermaKor) that bridges the gap between prototyping and production. Unlike pure marketplaces like Xometry, Quickparts owns and operates its own ISO-certified facilities, allowing for tighter quality control and specialized post-processing like automated Vapour Smoothing.

Recent coverage of Quickparts

Why this company matters

Quickparts positions itself as a premium on-demand manufacturing partner for high-requirement sectors, differentiating from pure marketplaces like Xometry by owning and operating its own ISO-certified facilities. This model allows tighter quality control and specialized post-processing, such as automated Vapour Smoothing, that standard 3D prints cannot match. The company targets design engineers and procurement managers in aerospace, defense, medical, automotive, and industrial machinery who need rapid turnaround and scalable production.

The core offering spans additive manufacturing (metal PBF-LB, polymer MEX, MJF, MJT, PBF-LB, and VPP-SLA), CNC machining, and injection molding. Quickparts' proprietary materials — DuraKor, a polypropylene-like material with impact resistance, and ThermaKor, a nanocomposite for thermal stability — are designed to mimic the mechanical properties of injection-molded plastics within a 3D printing environment. This enables a seamless prototype-to-production workflow for end-use parts.

Notable customers include Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Medtronic. The company has a strategic partnership with Nexa3D for ultra-fast polymer printing and works with PostProcess Technologies for automated finishing. Backed by Trilantic North America with $82 million in funding, Quickparts expanded its Seattle headquarters in 2024 with a $2.5 million investment to create an Aerospace and Defence Centre of Excellence. Estimated annual revenue is $80 million.

Quickparts' competitive moat lies in its proprietary material science and high-touch engineering approach, which bridges the gap between prototyping and full-scale production. However, the on-demand manufacturing space is crowded with competitors like Fictiv, Proto Labs, and Xometry, and the company must continue to innovate in materials and post-processing to maintain its premium positioning. The spin-off from 3D Systems in 2021 and appointment of CEO Dirk Diederichs in 2023 signal a renewed focus on independent growth.
