Global Organizations Choose Z Corporation 3D Printers to Accelerate Product Design
 
ZPrinters Becoming the Industry Standard in Aviation, Automotive, Apparel, Energy, Architecture, Defense and Education
 
Z Corporation announced today that world-renowned manufacturers and schools have selected ZPrinter® 3D printers to enhance design engineering.
 
These organizations and global brands include:
  • Airbus Operations GmbH
  • Hyundai-Kia Motors
  • Sketchers
  • Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.
  • GE Energy
  • Foster + Partners
  • SHoP Architects
  • Israeli Defense Forces
  • RMIT University School of Architecture and Design
  • The American University, UAE
  • Helwan University
 
3D printers create physical objects from 3D computer-aided design (CAD), building information modeling (BIM) and other digital data much as a 2D printer creates documents from word-processing text. ZPrinter 3D printers quickly and affordably turn product, building and other designs into physical color models, streamlining design from idea through mid-stage evaluation and presentation.
 
ZPrinters set the standard for speed, affordability, color and ease of use, offering:
  • Fastest print speed : 5x-10x faster than all other 3D printing technologies
  • Lowest operating cost : one-fifth the cost of other technologies
  • World’s only multicolor 3D printers: full 24-bit color, just like a 2D printer
  • Ease of use : only ZPrinters perform most operations automatically
 
“We are thrilled to help such prominent companies in so many industries improve product development through on-demand prototyping,” said Ed DeArias, Z Corp.’s vice president of global sales and service. “It’s inspiring to see our customers create innovative uses for ZPrinting and see the tangible business benefits.”
