Rapid Prototyping Machine

Z Corporation 3D rapid prototyping machines allow companies to gain the strategic edge in the global marketplace

Rapid prototyping machines generally work in similar ways. In stereo lithography, laminated object manufacture, and other prototyping processes, a rapid prototyping machine outputs 3D CAD or other digital data as thin layers (typically about 0.1mm) representing cross sections of an object. The rapid prototyping machine then fuses those layers to each other to create a physical 3D model. The resulting prototype model can often be painted or treated to improve the surface finish. But these machines can be prohibitively expensive, effectively putting them beyond the reach of many design engineers.

Z Corporation has developed a full line of rapid prototyping machines that create vibrantly colored, high definition prototypes and scale models in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the cost of other rapid prototyping technologies. Z Corporation's rapid prototyping machines are the world's fastest. These 3D printers produce physical prototypes quickly, easily, and inexpensively from computer-aided design (3D CAD) and other digital data. Companies of all sizes and types use Z Corp.'s rapid prototyping machines to create prototypes for everything from market feedback to functional testing.

Z Corp makes the benefits of rapid prototyping machines available to everyone

Z Corporation's 3D printers for rapid prototyping and manufacturing offer benefits to companies of all sizes:

• Speed - In today's competitive global market, speed in rapid product development is critical to success. Z Corp 3D printers are 5-10 times faster than other commercially available rapid prototyping machines, allowing parts to be printed at the rate of 25mm (1") vertical per hour.
• High-quality color - Z Corporation's 3D printers operate similar to a regular desktop inkjet printer, with one or multiple print-heads to support full-color printing.
• Affordability - Because Z Corporation 3D printers use standard inkjet printing technology, usage costs are a fraction of other rapid prototyping systems.
• Ease-of-use - Z Corporation 3D printers are simple to install and operate in any standard office. With only a few hours of training, users will be able to single-handedly operate their 3D printing system
