The Z Corp. Solution Provides the Ability to:

Perform Iterative Design Quick, inexpensive models make it possible to print multiple pieces during the course of a project and use the models not only to present, but also as part of the creative process.

Communicate with Clients Functional appearance prototypes are useful in solving problems and obtaining agreement on a design direction.

Communicate Across Distances Z Corp. parts can be sent to key contributors, providing more concrete data than a screen shot or paper printout.

Identify Problems Early Z Corp. parts provide a fast and efficient way to identify issues and challenges with a design very early in the process.

Achieve Consensus on a Design A physical model allows members of the design team to fully understand the pros and cons of design concepts, making the consensus process easier.

Perform Ergonomic Testing Quick and inexpensive concept models allow designers to test the ergonomics of the design and conduct shape studies in the industrial design process.

Clear communication between designers and manufacturers is crucial during the design process, because the discovery of design flaws early in the process prevents unexpected costs and delays. In a product design process, it is crucial that everyone on the team fully understands the design and is able to provide valuable feedback. The Z Corp. 3D Printer dramatically improves communication within the design process.

Communicate with Customers Z Corp. 3D Printers are capable of creating appearance prototypes directly from digital data, quickly and inexpensively. Full color models representing FEA output allow engineers to communicate concept designs to the customer.

Z Corp. 3D Printers are capable of directly printing mold cavities and inserts using ZCast powder, a plaster-ceramic composite appropriate for metal casting. The molds are used in the casting of non-ferrous metals.

The ability to quickly prototype metal parts by directly printing molds and mold inserts.

The elimination of costly pattern and tool production for prototype casting.

A dramatic time & cost savings in the production of near-net shape castings.

A fast and inexpensive alternative for sand casting, die casting, and investment casting.
