Rapid Prototyping Tooling

Rapid prototyping tooling has never been faster or more cost-effective than with Z Corp. 3D printers

Despite improvements in the direct parts fabrication process, even the best rapid prototyping tooling methods are still too slow and costly for the demands of today's competitive market. Most rapid prototyping tooling systems cannot produce parts in a wide enough range of casting materials, and at the pace needed by global companies. In order to be relevant to the widest range of industries, rapid prototyping tooling processes must become faster and cheaper.

Z Corporation's full line of 3D rapid prototyping printers take much of the time and expense out of the rapid prototyping tooling process, allowing companies of all types and sizes to print prototype models and molds as easily as they would print documents on a standard 2D desktop printer.

Z Corp. 3D printers and the ZCast process make rapid prototyping tooling more cost-effective than ever

Using the ZCast process on Z Corporation rapid prototyping equipment reduces the time and expense associated with more traditional rapid prototyping tooling processes. Z Corp. printers use the ZCast process to print molds in just hours instead of days or weeks. Available on all Z Corporation 3D printing systems, the ZCast process eliminates the need to create a pattern, greatly reducing the expense and time limitations of most rapid prototyping tooling methods. Instead, ZCast directly casts metals in molds printed on Z Corp. 3D printers. The ZCast process also gives rapid prototyping and manufacturing companies the ability to produce more complex castings that previously were difficult to produce using conventional rapid prototyping tooling methods.

Z Corporation 3D printers for rapid prototyping tooling

The ZPrinter 310 Plus is fast, versatile, and easy to use. The ZPrinter 310 Plus creates monochrome prototypes from 3D CAD data in hours instead of days. The ZPrinter 310 Plus low cost and versatility make it the perfect rapid prototyping solution for a smaller office environment.

The new ZPrinter 450 is the most affordable color 3D printer available - making the advantages of full-color 3D printing a reality for companies of all types and sizes. From creating molds for parts to engineering prototypes, the ZPrinter 450 is the most automated and cost-effective way to get started with color 3D printing.

The top-of-the-line Spectrum Z510 produces high-definition, 24-bit color prototype models with remarkably defined features, enhanced color, and the largest build size of any of our printers - and does so 5X-10X faster than other systems at less than half the cost.
