New ZPrinter 150 is a ‘business-quality’ 3D printer at an industry-low price; and the new ZPrinter 250 is lowest-price ‘multicolor’ 3D printer

07/22/10

BURLINGTON, Mass., USA – Z Corporation today continued its quest to make 3D printing available to every designer, engineer, architect and student with the introduction of affordable, commercial-class 3D printers.

The ZPrinter^® 150 (monochrome, $14,900) and ZPrinter^® 250 (multicolor, $24,900) have a small physical  footprint ideal for the classroom, department, or small business. Unlike low-end 3D printers, the new ZPrinter 150 and ZPrinter 250: are easy to use out of the box; build 3D models with five times the resolution; and have the industry’s lowest operating cost (lowest cost per model).

In addition to being affordable to purchase and use, the new ZPrinters print five to 10 times faster than other 3D printing technologies, with the unique ability to print multiple, stacked models simultaneously. This dramatic throughput advantage enables ZPrinters to support entire classrooms or departments at their busiest times.

The ZPrinter 250 and other color ZPrinters are the only ones capable of simultaneously printing in multiple colors. Color 3D printing enables designers and students to better evaluate the look, feel and style of designs by enhancing 3D models with graphics, logos, text, labels, and design comments.

ZPrinter 150/250 specifications include:

• Resolution: 300 x 450 dpi
• Minimum Feature Size: 0.016 inches (0.4 mm)
• Vertical Build Speed: 0.8 inch/hour (20 mm/hour)
• Build Size: 9.3 x 7.3 x 5 inches (236 x 185 x 127 mm)

Both new ZPrinters incorporate automation features first offered in the midrange ZPrinter 450, including automatic setup, automatic powder loading, and self-monitoring of materials and print status. At home in any office or classroom, they are clean, quiet and free of any hazardous waste.

“The price of ZPrinting is coming down to enable broader adoption by mainstream users,” said Z Corporation CEO John Kawola. “We’re driving that revolution with new machines offering new levels of value. Though smaller in scale than the rest of our line, these ZPrinters deliver trademark Z Corp. speed, quality, and affordability.”

Pricing, Availability
The ZPrinter 150 and ZPrinter 250 are available now through Z Corporation’s worldwide reseller network. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price in the USA is $14,900 USD and $24,900 USD respectively, ex works (options, shipping, local taxes, and duties not included.

Z Corporation Introduces First Automated, Monochrome 3D Printer

ZPrinter 350 Delivers High-End 3D Printing Functionality at Entry-Level Price

10/15/09

BURLINGTON, Mass., USA – Z Corporation today unveiled the world’s first automated, monochrome 3D printer and the company’s most affordable automated 3D printer to date, making advanced rapid prototyping technology more accessible to mainstream engineers and architects. Like other Z Corporation 3D printers, the ZPrinter® 350 converts 3D data into physical models much as desktop printers convert word-processing files into physical documents.

Unlike other monochrome 3D printers, the ZPrinter 350 delivers high-end functionality such as:

* automatic material loading
* snap-in binder cartridges
* integrated recycling of unused build material
* self-monitoring operation
* control from both the desktop and printer
* 0.8 in/hour (20 mm/hour) vertical build speed
* 8 x 10 x 8 in (203 x 254 x 203 mm) build size
* 300 x 450 dpi resolution
* office-safe build materials, aggressive dust-control, and zero liquid waste

Available today, the ZPrinter 350 is an ideal choice for organizations seeking the most affordable way to produce one-color prototypes fast, in any office environment.

“The ZPrinter 350 gives a lot more engineering departments access to advanced 3D printing technology at a value price,” said Z Corporation CEO John Kawola. “ZPrinting is going to improve the quality of their products, speed their development processes, and ultimately help the bottom line.”

The ZPrinter 350 also shares the advantages of the entire ZPrinter line, including:

* Industry’s lowest operating costs – one-fifth that of other technologies
