Orlando, Fl. (July 26, 2006) – Mydea
Technologies, a prototyping product development company, announced
it has created a revolutionary price-quoting system, IQ™, for
Rapid Prototyping technologies. The new service provides an instantaneous
and binding price quote for companies who are under time pressures
to create efficient prototypes and functional models.
“Prior to Mydea’s IQ™ software,
the quoting process could take up to a couple of days. Previously,
Mydea signed a non-disclosure agreement, the client sent a file,
we analyzed the file and created a quote. The process typically
also included negotiations before final approval,” said Michael
Siemer, founder and president of Mydea Technologies. “The
process is not only shorter but streamlined and the client no longer
has to share the confidential design details.”
Rapid Prototyping combines design, engineering and manufacturing
into a one-step process to produce virtually any three-dimensional
object in several plastics, resins and metals. IQ™ from
Mydea takes the benefits of rapid prototyping one-step further
by creating an opportunity for clients to receive a quote tailored
to their particular requirements without having to share any critical
or confidential information. The client can simply enter the model’s
dimensions and choose the material, quantity, finish, color, production
speed and delivery method via the Mydea Technologies web site.
“As a medical device company, we like the IQ™features
of getting instant quotes without having to login or provide our
confidential part files. The quote is instant therefore we
do not have any delays in getting a quote for the costs and delivery
time,” said Brian Schumacher, Director of Research and Development
with AOI Medical in Orlando, Florida. “By simply knowing
the part size and volume, I can evaluate the cost of several different
RP technologies, material, quantities, finishes, colors, and response
times and then select what works best for me.”
