Rapid Prototyping

Z Corporation's 3D printers make rapid prototyping truly fast and cost-effective

Since its conception, the "rapid" in rapid prototyping has been somewhat relative. Printing a prototype model from its design in 3D CAD or other 3D digital data through to completion could take days or weeks depending on the type of rapid prototyping machine used and the size of the prototype model.

 

Z Corporation's rapid prototyping system has fully realized the potential of rapid prototyping, allowing the designer's vision to become reality faster and more cost-effectively than ever before. With our 3DP system, prototype manufacturers and other companies can discuss a project in the morning and see an actual 3D scale model in the afternoon. No other rapid prototyping equipment can do this.

Our 3D printers for rapid prototyping, concept modeling, and functional prototype testing make the design process fast and cost-effective enough to allow for the creation of multiple prototype iterations to clarify design and functionality issues, where in the past, most companies could make only one.

Z Corp. makes rapid prototyping easier than ever

Z Corporation's 3D printers offer many benefits for rapid prototyping and manufacturing companies, including:

  • Speed - In today's competitive global market, speed in rapid product development has become a critical factor for success, and Z Corporations's 3D printers can make all the difference. Our 3D printers are 5-10 times faster than other rapid prototyping technologies, allowing parts to be printed at the rate of 25mm (1”) vertical per hour.
  • High-quality color - Our Printers operate like a 2D desktop inkjet printer, with one or multiple print-heads to support full-color printing with dramatic increases in speed. Z Corporation's introduction of HD 3DP (High-Definition 3D Printing) capabilities supports the production of prototype models with complex geometries and small, detailed features.
  • Affordability - Because Z Corporation printers use standard inkjet printing technology, usage costs are a fraction of other rapid prototyping technologies.
  • Ease-of-use - Our 3D printers are simple to install and operate in any standard office. Users can single-handedly operate a printer with only a few hours of training, which greatly enhances accessibility to rapid prototyping within companies of any size.
