QUICK MODELS & ENGINEERING SERVICES LLCCOMPANY PRESENTATION

WHO ARE WE? WHAT WE DO?

Quick Models & Engineering Services (QMES) is a privately held company offering state-of-the-art prototyping, 3D printing, and engineering services

We are the only 3D Printing Company in the greater Houston area and the only company offering full-scale build volume in North America

QMES has the right tools designed for professionals and creators who are seeking cost effective and high performance 3D printing projects that produce full-scale build-volume objects (up to 1.3 cubic meter or 45 cubic feet) 

QMES also offers engineering services such as product development, reverse engineering, material selection, CAD/CAM solutions, FEA studies, prototype development, engineering economics, fabrication methods and more…

OUR EQUIPMENTConventional 3D printers can usually only produce hand-sized objects. Printers at QMES, however, can create objects in a full-scale format, opening the imagination to yet unfathomed application areasA printing volume of over one cubic meter makes it possible to produce prototypes and models 1:1, or to create final products, such as designer furniture, directly with the 3D printing method

OUR EQUIPMENTOur equipment are unprecedented full-scale format 3D printersWith an 1147 x 1000 x 1188 mm (1.3 m³) (45 ft³) working volume, about 27 times that of a typical MakerBot ReplicatorFrom complex architectural or artistic objects to rock solid engineering partsCost effective and high performance 3D-printing system

OUR EQUIPMENT – TECH SPECSOur printers are FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D PrintersThey use 3D printer filament which gets fed to the extruder unit. The extruder then melts the material and deposits it as a long thread, layer by layer. The process is in reality more similar to a 3D drawing than a printing processOur printers come with a dual extrusion print head to print 2 different materials and/or colors at the same timeWe currently offer 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 1mm and 1,5mm nozzlesWe currently offer 3mm and 1.75mm extrudersUp to 150mm/s print speedMax feed rate 500 mm/s0.1mm min layer heightLayer thickness: 0.1 – 1.5mm

OUR EQUIPMENT – COMING SOONMEET THE BIG BROTHERThe new machine features an enormous build volume of up to 1.5 m³ (53 ft³)It will feature an enclosed build chamber with a custom made controller unit which uses industrial standard componentsAdditionally, the new machine will print surprisingly fast and will be equipped with numerous new features and security enhancements

WHO ARE OUR PRODUCTS FOR?Our printers are the only equipment available in North America for full-scale rapid prototypingThey are great for manufacturers who want to see their designs in life size dimensionsExcellent for architects to showcase their designsIdeal for low-volume manufacturingGreat for manufacturers who need on-demand productionPerfect for professionals and individuals who require customizable products3D printed implants for medical market

THE ADVANTAGES OF 3D PRINTINGPersonalization Complexity Sustainability Flexibility Recycling and planned obsolescence Economies of scale

THE ADVANTAGES OF RAPID PROTOTYPING WITH 3D PRINTING

Evaluation of a design while it is still in the computer After evaluation, creating a solid prototype based on the design that can be handled and operatedComparing the printed prototype to components of existing systems to ensure correct fit and functionMuch shorter prototype creation time compared to the traditional ways of building prototypesNo need to design special tooling and fixturesCost effective

ENGINEERING SERVICESQMES offers a variety of engineering services for a wide range of industries These services are offered on both hourly and contractual basesOur hourly service is geared toward the individuals or small to medium businesses who may have a 2D sketch or just an idea, but lacks access to engineering resources Contractual rates can be negotiated for more involved engineering projectsCombined with our 3D printing capabilities, QMES canprovide an integrated product development solutionfor your enterprise

ENGINEERING SERVICESOur team of experienced professionals will coordinate with you to take your project from concept to final productWe have in-house staff of talented engineers and designers All of our engineers hold advance degrees such as Doctorate and Masters in Engineering & Technology Our engineers have wide range of industry experience on product design and developmentOur designers are experts at CAD/CAM development

ENGINEERING SERVICES – IN DETAIL3D Modeling: QMES can quickly turn your 2D sketch into a 3D printable CAD file. We can also make modifications to your existing CAD files

Product Design: If you have a brand new idea but don’t know where to begin, our engineers can help you develop a functional product that is ready for market

Reverse Engineering: After a part has been digitized via 3D scanning, our engineers can determine the principles behind the part’s design

Manufacturing: QMES can design jigs, fixtures and molds for your manufacturing needs. For some applications, these parts can be 3D printed in-house

Six-Sigma: Our certified engineers can improve your manufacturing process utilizing lean manufacturing principles

AND MORE…

WHAT IS OUR ULTIMATE GOAL?We would like to grow into an idea materialization company with all stakeholders involved

Our ultimate goal is to become the number one company, where individual engineers and designers have the ability to fulfill their potentials and materialize their ideas

We would like to connect them with engineering and technical resources in order to create a marketable product. Once the product is ready for the market, we will assist on licensing the final product to outside companies for manufacturing, sales, and marketing

QMES will be getting a portion of the life-time royalties along with the people or companies associated with the project

This business model eliminates “the exchange of your new product ideas and hard work for a fixed salary”

Basically, this a brand new business model which provides an opportunityto individuals and companies, who have new product ideas to become a partner of our company, bring their idea to life, and collect life-time royalties on their marketable products
