Mechanical Design

Rapid Prototyping

Leading product designers use our prototyping machines to accelerate the design process and bring products to market sooner. Applications include:

  • Concept Models - Get early design feedback, improve communication, and test ergonomics

  • Functional Testing - Verify designs for form, fit and function prior to full-scale production; plus reduce costly modifications to production tooling

  • Finite Element Analysis - Produce prototypes displaying color finite element analysis data right on the part. Improve collaboration among project teams, and identify design flaws earlier

  • Presentation Models - Communicate clearly with peers and clients, and perform focus group testing

  • Packaging Development - Streamline the design process for glass and plastic packaging used in consumer products, healthcare, chemicals, beverages, and automotive products

3D Scanning

Z Corp.’s ultra-portable, handheld 3D scanners are ideal for uses including:

  • Reverse Engineering - Speed, accuracy and ease-of-use for aftermarket product design 

  • Packaging Design - Create custom packaging by scanning product samples for exact geometry

  • Ergonomic Design - Scan hand-crafted samples to produce complex designs from scratch 

  • Digital Archiving - Save money by storing tooling, samples and prototypes digitally 

  • Digital Media, Gaming & Animation - Create digital media from artist's concept models 

  • Arts & Cultural Heritage - Produce high-resolution, low-impact scans for accurate restorations and reconstructions of artwork and architecture

  • Medical Education - Create detailed reproductions of complex organs and bone structures 

  • Medical Orthosis - Custom-design braces and other devices for precision comfort  Top of Page

 

  

AEC

Leading architects, engineers and contractors use Z Corp. 3D printers from conceptual design through construction. From massing models printed directly from CAD and BIM data, to iterations of detail components for a design study, Z Corp. 3D printers are the fastest, most cost effective way to fabricate complex geometries in both pure white and high definition color.

Massing Models for Concept Development

  • 3D print directly from CAD and BIM data

  • Produce models quickly and inexpensively

Design Study of Critical Elements

  • Fabricate complex surfaces and geometries

  • Communicate high definition detail and surface finish

High Definition Color Presentation Models

  • Combine models with other elements to achieve desired effect

  • Produce multiples easily, quickly and inexpensively   Top of Page

 

  

Education

Educational institutions integrate Z Corp. 3D printers into many departments to enhance programs and expose students to leading edge technologies. The printers are indispensable in providing students access to physical models.

Advantages for the Classroom

  • Speed - A Z Corp. high-throughput 3D printer is ideal to support several classes of 20 to 30 students each semester

  • Low Cost - A low cost per printed part is critical both to support students and keep within budgetary constraints.  Be sure to ask about our High School Grant Program (USA).

  • Reliability - A safe and reliable 3D printer is important, since it operates continuously in a classroom environment.

  • Safety - Unlike other machines, Z Corp. 3D printers require no model support structures that need to be removed with razor knives or chemical baths.

Applications

  • Mechanical Engineering - Z Corp. 3D printers are capable of creating appearance prototypes directly from digital data, allowing students to evaluate their designs in 3D.

  • Architecture - 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.

  • Industrial Design - Z Corp. 3D printers can produce models of any complexity. The models can be sanded and painted to replicate production models.

  • Fine Arts - students are able to create physical output of their projects and gain valuable feedback on their projects.

  • Bio-Medical Research - the unique capability of Z Corp.’s Color 3D printers to create full color parts allows researchers to accurately represent molecular models in three-dimensions. Top of Page

 

  

Geospatial

Challenge

Using 3D landscape/cityscape models for education, situational analysis, and communication requires the timely conversion of geographic information systems (GIS) data to physical form. Unfortunately the traditional processes for building models - hand made, CNC, or molded - are slow and expensive. Turnaround can take weeks and cost thousands of dollars.

Solution

Z Corporation 3D printers enable you to output high-quality terrain, urban and subsurface maps in hours at very low cost.  The technology will fundamentally improve the way you use GIS data to communicate, plus enable you to analyze critical elements with quick, inexpensive, and easily reproducible 3D models

Advantages

  • Rapidly produce sophisticated cartography at very low cost

  • Hours instead of days or weeks

  • Tens or hundreds of dollars, instead of thousands

  • Full-color models (available only from Z Corp.)

  • Fundamentally change the way you use GIS data to communicate
    – Raise exposure & visibility of GIS data
    – Communicate clearly with clients, co-workers, public audiences

Benefits

  • Rapid, inexpensive production of quality terrain, urban and subsurface maps

  • Models in hours, not days or weeks

  • Tens or hundreds of dollars, not thousands

  • No geometrical limitations – print any shape Top of Page

 		  

Healthcare

Z Corp.'s 3D Printers enable surgeons to rapidly produce inexpensive 3D models to obtain better case information to reduce operating time, enhance patient and physician communication and improve patient outcomes.

Challenge

Two critical factors in successful orthopaedic and maxillo-facial procedures are clear communication between physicians and patients, and precise implant pre-contouring. Clear communication allows patients to make informed decisions about their medical care, and precise implant fitting is crucial for the well-being of the patient. 3D physical models are an invaluable tool in improving the experience for both doctors and patients.

Solutions

Applications include pre-surgical planning, implant pre-contouring, custom implants, practitioner communication, presentation tools, student/resident education, prosthesis design.

Software

Mimics Z
For the first time, doctors, nurses, and technicians who have no previous experience with 3D modeling or 3D printing can create 3D anatomical models from MRI and CT scan images quickly and easily.  Top of Page

 

  

Entertainment / Arts

Electronic games, animation applications and consumer software are generating vast amounts of 3D data in the form of avatars, characters and other imaginative creations. The unique color capabilities of Z Corp. 3D printers provide 3D software developers, service bureaus, and consumers with the ability to produce custom avatars, figurines, and other creations with ease.

Advantages

  • Full, 24-bit color - eliminates need for tedious and time consuming painting

  • High speed for volume production (5X-10X faster than any other technology

  • Lowest cost per model

  • Far more accurate than manually created avatars  Top of Page

Packaging

Companies designing and producing glass and plastic packaging for the healthcare, household and chemical, automotive, and beverage industries are using ZPrinters to speed and improve their design process.

Challenge

A new packaging design has to be functional, economical and innovative. Clear and effective communication is necessary to satisfy customers and simplify the design process. The traditional method of using 3D screen renderings, limits communication and forces compromises late in the design process or extensions in the design process.

Solution

  • Communicate Internally - ZPrinters are capable of creating appearance prototypes of any complexity directly from digital data, quickly and inexpensively.

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

  • Generate New Business - ZPrinted models can be used to bid on new business by clearly communicating design ideas and establishing an advantage over the competition.

  • Output Finite Element Analysis Data - The unique color capability of ZPrinters provide a way to visualize and communicate the results of finite element analysis and identify problem areas early in the process.
