Rapid Prototyping at it’s finest 3D 3-D Printer
Now you can print 3D color models so quickly and affordably, you'll do it every day. Introducing the zprinter®450. The zprinter 450 makes color 3D printing accessible to everyone. The lowest priced color 3D printer available, it outputs brilliant color models with time-saving automation and an easy printing process. Z Corporation has introduced more innovations than any other provider of rapid prototyping solutions, including development of the fastest 3D printers, the world's only color 3D printers, and high-definition 3D printing (HD3DP™) capabilities. Our 3D printers create physical models from computer-aided design (CAD) data by using an inkjet print-head to deposit a liquid binder that solidifies layers of powder. This cutting-edge technology supports a full line of 3D printers that deliver the speed, low operating costs, and high-quality models that product developers need to compete in today's global market.
How much are human clone cartridges?
Try the 20-70k price range.
You sure can!
You could, but the money it would cost to buy this machine is far greater than the cost of buying your own models.
What an awesome printer, but seriously, the last time i saw something presented in a manner like this, i was standing in line at the Terminator ride, watching the Skynet commercials.
Could I print a Warhammer army with that?
cool
It depends on the resolution. An average resolution of about 0.1 mm has visible texture, but i’m sure that more expensive printers have better finishes.
When you look at a printed prototype closeup, can you see lines or bands where the layers were built up, or is the original texture of the model (within reason) pretty much intact?
We currently have a Z510 model for $30k, half of the original price.
How long would it take you save up that much? Or you could always ask Obama for a business loan and get one.
ink does cost a fortune, luckily this machine doesn’t use ink. It uses a binder that is fractional to the cost of ink.
thats true
wish I would have invented this, ink prolly costs a fortune tho
So how many years till I can afford/get a desktop one in my room?
until then I think its back to the scalpel. I wonder if in 30 years we may all have one of these in the house, instead of an A4/A3 printer. Missing screw from your ikea flatpack? download here …
thanks for the reply, my 3D graphics teacher is very interested in this. It would be awesome to see our 3D modeld come to life in the phsyical word. cant wait for this technology to become widely affordable.
Excellent questions! Thank you.
We have models that we created over 10 years ago still being handled today.
No, they arent affected by heat nearly as much, as say, plastic prototype parts. We have had parts heat tested up to 1500F.
As for toddlers putting them in their mouths, it depends on the geometry of the item. If you print something small that they could choke on, well that’s just common sense. But the material itself wouldn’t harm them.
just a quick question, how long do these models last? are they easly ruined by heat or other conditions? is the final product safe, say a todler puts it in his/her mouth?
Get a 3d scanner and then the future of office pranks will be a bunch of 3d models of an employee’s ass. =D
It prints one horizontal layer at a time. it uses the extra material as support allowing it to print fine details on the interior as well as any free floating objects you may have in the build chamber.
how could it do printing inside the models?
wow, want one for the lab.
It is real- we use these at work all the time for quick toy prototypes and “works-like” models. very useful and quick.
Wow, didn’t realize 3D printing is real already, I guess it’s just not that common yet. Impressive!
wow
awesome
