THE FAsTEsT, MosT AFForDAblE Color 3D PrInTIng
Z Corporation’s family of 3D printers meets the needs of specialized AEC applications, including:
• Massing Models: Produce early concept models quickly and inexpensively to better communicate design intent and enable concept iteration.
• Design Study: Fabricate complex surfaces and geometries to provide a deeper understanding of critical design elements, and ensure accuracy.
• Presentations: Combine models with other elements to quickly, easily and affordably create multicolor presentations to clients and team stakeholders. Help close deals and win faster approvals.
• Urban Planning: Communicate considerably more detail faster and more affordably than traditional cityscapes fabricated from wood, foam or cardboard.
• Energy Analysis: Illustrate lighting and solar analyses by 3D printing full color models to illustrate temperature variations in designs.

HoW Z CorPorATIon TECHnology Works
1 A 3D CAD file is imported into ZPrint™ software. The software slices the file into thin cross-sectional slices, which are fed to the 3D printer.
2The printer creates the model one layer at a time by spreading a layer of powder and inkjet printing a binder in the cross-section of the part. 3
The process is repeated until every layer is printed and the part is ready to be removed.
Z Corporation technology works by creating a 3D physical model directly from digital data, layer by layer, turning concepts and ideas into real, physical 3D models that you can hold, examine and evaluate.
InCrEAsE InnoVATIon
• Create affordable physical models early in the schematic and concept design stages
• build models in hours (not days), obtain feedback, refine designs, and iterate to innovate
IMProVE CoMMunICATIon
• Hold realistic 3D scale models in your hands to impart infinitely more information than a computer image or rendering
• Walk around your model to gain better perspective
• 3D physical models complement digital design and renderings
sPEED TIME To ConsTruCTIon
• speed the approval process with all project stakeholders
• Compress design cycles and deliver projects faster by 3D printing multiple models on demand, right in your office
rEDuCE CosTs
• Cut traditional model-making costs with affordable 3D printed models
• build more accurate models directly from 3D design files, eliminating costly errors
WIn busInEss
• bring realistic 3D models to prospective clients and project partners
Z Corporation, producers of the world’s fastest, easiest-to-use, and most affordable 3D printers, makes 3D printing accessible to everyone in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) world. Z Corporation printers produce pure white and high-resolution color physical models quickly, easily, and inexpensively from 3D CAD, bIM and other digital data. The most successful design, engineering and construction firms have adopted 3D printing as a critical part of the design development and project delivery process to:
A WorlD oF PossIbIlITIEs
FAsTEsT PrInT sPEED
High speed and throughput for a range of applications
• 5x-10x faster than all other technologies
• output models in hours, not days
• build multiple models at the same time
• support an entire department, firm or classroom with ease
HIgH rEsoluTIon
Realistic models and precise details
• High-definition 3D printing produces models with complex geometries and small, detailed features
• 3D print the most intricate detail, such as a railing on an architectural model
loWEsT oPErATIng CosT
Affordable for all environments
• one-fifth the cost of other technologies
• unused materials are recycled for the next build, eliminating waste
• based on reliable, affordable inkjet technology
EAsy To usE
Spend time generating ideas, not operating a 3D printer
• requires minimal training and expertise
• only ZPrinters perform most operations automatically
• Automated setup and self monitoring
• Automated powder loading and recycling
• snap-in binder cartridges
• Intuitive control panel for easy operation
sAFE AnD oFFICE FrIEnDly
Ideal for everyday use in any standard office or school environment
• quiet, safe, odor free
• Closed-loop powder loading, removal, and recycling
• Continuous negative pressure for containing airborne particles within the machine
• Eco-friendly, non-hazardous build material
• Zero liquid waste
• no physical support structures to remove with dangerous cutting tools or toxic chemicals
• noise-suppression technologies for quiet, intrusion-free operation
ZPrInTEr ADVAnTAgEs ZPrinters set the standard for speed, color, affordability and ease of use.
unIquEly MulTIColor
Color and high quality dramatically communicate design intent
• Produce realistic color models without paint
• better evaluate the look, feel, and style of designs
• 3D print text labels, logos, design comments, or images directly onto models
• Full, 24-bit color (just like a 2D printer) produces millions of distinct colors
• Multiple print heads provide the best range of accurate and consistent colors
“ There’s something about
walking around a site, even
a scale model, that reveals
the truth of the proposal.
Clients are fascinated with
the model and impressed
with us for presenting it.
The mood of the meeting
brightens.”
robin lockhart obM International
THE DIFFErEnCE Is rEAlZ Corporation customers use 3D models to make a bigger impact.
“Thanks to 3D printing, our models are more
refined and more precise, which gives us an
advantage. There’s no doubt that beautiful
models help us win commissions.”
MortenSteffensen,Engineer,
HenningLarsen
“3D printing changes the nature of what a
model is. It’s not a one-time sacred object.
you can duplicate it, change scale, and give
smaller versions away.”
DavidMunson,President,
Munson3D
“ speed is the key. I can take an order for a
model today and drop it off with the customer
tomorrow. Cost is another key ... I can make
that model for one fourth the cost
of stereolithography or laser-cutting.
Clients love the models. The turnaround is
fabulous, the price is great, and the detail
is all they need. My clients are demanding,
but they’re delighted with this new service.”
