Since their debut on the marketplace, the "rapid" in rapid prototyping machine has been relative. Bringing a prototype model from its initial rendering in 3D CAD or other 3D digital data through to completion could take days or weeks depending on the type of prototyping machine used and the size of the prototype model.
Z Corporation prototyping machines make rapid prototyping truly fast, bringing the many benefits of to companies of all sizes and types. These prototyping machines, which include the entry-level ZPrinter 310 Plus and ZPrinter 450, and the top-of-the-line Spectrum Z510 are fast and versatile, allowing the designer's vision to become reality in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the cost of other prototyping machines. With Z Corporation's 3DP (three-dimensional printing) 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 technology can do this.
Z Corporation's 3D prototyping machines for 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 Corporation's 3D printers offer many benefits for rapid prototyping and manufacturing companies, including:
