Quickparts launches “Quick Mould”: rapid tooling as a bridge from 3D printing to production parts;

For its 35th anniversary, Quickparts is expanding its additive manufacturing portfolio with “Quick Mould,” a rapid-tooling service for injection molding. The target audience is development teams in Europe that need functional parts from production-grade materials quickly after additive prototypes. The approach combines fast-milled aluminum molds with technically demanding thermoplastics and is aimed at applications where 3D-printed samples don’t fully meet requirements for dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and durability.

“Quickparts was founded on the promise of Limitless Manufacturing, delivering high-quality parts without compromise on complexity, volume, or speed,” said Peter Jacobsen, EMEA President of Quickparts. “Quick Mould brings that philosophy to life, offering engineers a responsive, dependable solution to accelerate development, adapt to changes, and stay ahead of tight market deadlines.”

Quick Mould transfers this philosophy to mold making and is intended to safeguard development, change cycles, and tight schedules. Technically, a European manufacturing cell at the Pinerolo (Italy) site is at the core, producing and validating aluminum mold inserts at short notice. The resulting parts are made from production-like polyamides and reinforced compounds; examples include PA66 GF50 and PA66 GF30 for mechanically stressed components.

The provider points to short turnaround times in concrete projects, including a change cycle within one day, anti-vibration automotive parts with four-day delivery, and a redesigned door knob that was designed, milled, and sampled within four days.

“Quick Mould gives our customers what they need most in today’s manufacturing landscape — time,” said Avi Reichental, CEO of Quickparts. “We recently demonstrated Quick Mould to leading industrial OEMs at our Pinerolo facility, and the response was outstanding. It’s a breakthrough that enables rapid decisions without sacrificing quality or reliability.”

In the development process, Quick Mould is positioned as a complement to 3D printing. Additively manufactured geometries continue to serve for concept validation and early iteration; once material and process validation move to the forefront, rapid tooling provides injection-molded first articles with reproducible material properties and tighter tolerances. For companies planning pilot runs or needing qualified data for inspection reports, joint tests, and assembly trials, the approach can reduce time to approval. Quick Mould is available immediately in the EMEA region; scaling to series production takes place on the same partner infrastructure.
