Three-dimensional (3D) data is becoming the standard in virtually every industry from manufacturing to entertainment, and Z Corporation's 3D printing and 3D scanning technologies are ideally suited to the needs of these specialized applications. See how our technology fits in.

The future for 3D printing seems very promising; it is the fastest growing part of the rapid-prototyping industry. Many manufacturers are showing huge amounts of interest in 3D printing for various applications. Engineers, architects, artists, health care professionals and scientist would need tangible representations of their work to gain better experience with form, fit, function, esthetics and structure

Z Corporation has introduced more innovations than any other provider of rapid prototyping solutions, including development of the fastest 3D printers, the world’s only color 3D printers, and high-definition 3D printing (HD3DP™) capabilities.

Z Corp 3D printers create physical models from computer-aided design (CAD) data by using an inkjet print-head to deposit a liquid binder that solidifies layers of powder. This cutting-edge technology supports a full line of 3D printers that deliver the speed, low operating costs, and high-quality models that product developers need to compete in today’s global market.

3D printers can be used to output finite element analysis data in full color. This will enhance communication among project teams and aid in the discovery of design flaws early in the design cycle. The Z Corp. 3D printer is the only rapid prototyping machine capable of outputting FEA data because of its unique ability to create full-color parts quickly and inexpensively.

Companies need to stay ahead of the competition by delivering innovative products to market quickly. Collecting valuable market feedback is a crucial step in the design cycle to develop a rapid response to competitive threats. 3D printer helps manufacturers to make sales demonstration models and mock-ups for design review.

Z Corp. 3D Printer helps glass and plastic packaging companies to speed and improve their design process and make economical and innovative designs. Z Corp. parts can be used to bid on new business by clearly communicating design ideas and establishing an advantage over the competition.

The Z Cast Direct Metal Casting process provides the ability to produce cast metal parts from a CAD file significantly faster and less expensively than traditional prototype casting methods. The process involves printing molds and cores on a 3D Printer directly from digital data, eliminating the pattern and core box production step in the traditional sand casting process. Metal is then poured into the 3D printed molds.

Educational institutions integrate Z Corp. 3D printers into many departments (Mechanical Engineering, Architecture, Industrial Design, Fine Arts, Bio-Medical Research etc.) to enhance programs and expose students to leading edge technologies. The printers are indispensable in providing students access to physical models.
