Tangible Express to Help Disabled Veterans at Christmas Four-Thousandths of an Inch at a Time

Tangible Express, the nation's most innovative rapid prototyping (RP), rapid manufacturing and rapid tooling services provider, has pledged to make Christmas a bit brighter this year for disabled veterans.

Springville, Utah (PRWEB) November 16, 2007 -- Tangible Express, the nation's most innovative rapid prototyping (RP), rapid manufacturing and rapid tooling (http://www.tangibleexpress.com) services provider, has pledged to make Christmas a bit brighter this year for disabled veterans.

Tangible Express, whose modern fleet of RP machines includes the world's most advanced SLS® machine (Selective Laser Sintering) as well as 13 other state-of-the-art systems, already creates amazing success stories for its clients and fractional owners four-thousandths of an inch at a time.

Four-thousandths of an inch - roughly the thickness of a human hair -- is how thin each layer of photocurable liquid resin, known as a "slice," is on every object created on Tangible Express's RP machines (http://www.tangibleexpress.com/rapid-prototyping.php).

"From tiny fractional slices emerge wondrous prototypes and end-user ready parts that are revolutionizing U.S. manufacturing," says David A. McInnis, founder and chairman of Tangible Express. "In keeping with that idea, we've decided to do what we can to create better lives for disabled veterans, one slice at a time."

From November 20, 2007 through December 19, 2007, Tangible Express will donate $1 to disabled American veterans' charities for every inch the company produces on its machines, up to 40,000,000 slices, or 10,000 inches.

"This is a great time for designers and manufacturers to test their product and part concepts for 2008," says C. Alex Linde, president and chief operating officer of Tangible Express. "Using our fleet of equipment, backed by our team of professionals, new and existing customers can innovate and contribute to a very worthy cause all at once."

The Tangible Express fleet of SLS® (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_laser_sintering) and SLA® (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereolithography) machines are offered to those needing a single part or prototype as well as in fractional ownership shares. Tangible Express fractional owners receive all the tax and balance sheet benefits that accrue to owners, without any of the high capital costs, maintenance, support and obsolescence issues.
