ZBuilder rapid prototyping systems create high-end functional prototypes for a fraction of the cost of stereolithography machines. These all-in-one devices build parts additively using a high-resolution Digital Light Processor (DLP) projector to solidify a liquid photopolymer, resulting in durable plastic parts that mimic injection molding for accuracy, material properties, detail, and surface finish. Imaging an entire cross-section at once, the devices build at twice the speed of machines with comparable performance. ZBuilders enable you to verify designs for form, fit and function prior to full-scale production; eliminate costly modifications to production tooling; and ultimately shorten time to market.
Applications
- Evaluate product designs prior to full-scale production
- Verify designs for form, fit, function
- Create concept models to improve communication and refine designs
Duplicate Digital CAD Models Precisely
- Accurate; part features within +/- 0.008 inches* (+/- 0.2 mm*)
- Precision optics and motion systems for repeatability
- Only movement in the Z-direction
Build True Functional Plastic Parts
Material Properties Mimic Final Parts
- Strong and flexible
- Consistent regardless of orientation
Razor-Thin Walls and Sharp Detail
- Minimum feature size 0.005 inches (138 microns)
- X/Y resolution from highest resolution DLP engine
- Precise control of light source delivers sharp edges
Ultra-Smooth Surface Finish
- Parts appear injected molded
- Precise control of each voxel (3D pixel)
- No “stair stepping”
Save Time
- 2X faster than other functional prototyping systems
- Verify designs the next day
- Speed independent of the number of parts in the build
- Only seconds per exposure
How it Works
- Similar to SLA systems
- High-resolution DLP system instead of complex laser technology
- Highly controlled exposure for each voxel
- Exposed photopolymer solidifies into robust solid plastic
