Z Corporation / ZPrinter 450
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.
More Models
- Experience the world's fastest print speed – 5X faster than all other systems
- Output models in hours, not days
- Build multiple models at the same time by stacking and nesting parts
- Support an entire engineering department or classroom with ease
More Communication
3D models and product prototypes are about communication, and nothing
communicates better than color. Color dramatically communicates engineering
product designs, vividly renders architectural designs, and even brings
animated characters into the real world.
- Produce realistic color models without paint
- Better evaluate the look, feel, and style of product designs
- Add highlights to models with annotations like text, arrows, and texture maps
More Free Time
The IDEAL/Contex Zprinter 450 performs most operations automatically
so you don’t have to, and it simplifies the rest.
- 40% less operator touch time for setup and model removal
- Automated setup and self monitoring
- Automated powder loading and recycling
- New "snap-in" binder cartridges
OFFICE FRIENDLY
The Zprinter 450 sets the stardard for office compatiblity
with breakthrough innovations that make it ideal for everyday use
in a standard office environment. It eliminates nearly all of the
hazards, waste, noise, and disposal issues that are associated with
typical rapid prototyping systems, and does so in a remarkably compact
footprint.
Clean
- Most advanced powder-management system available on an inkjet 3D printer
- Closed-loop powder loading, removal, and recycling
- Continuous negative pressure for containing airborne particles within the envelope of the machine
- Zero liquid waste to handle
Quiet
- Noise-suppression technologies for quiet, intrusion-free operation
Safe
- Similar to a common 2D inkjet printer
- Eco-friendly, non-hazardous build material
- No physical support structures attached to models, like other 3D printers. And no need to remove those supports with dangerous cutting tools or toxic chemicals
Convenient
- Greater control from ZPrint™ software and printer
- Automatic powder loading
- Snap-in binder cartridges
- Easily changeable print heads
SEVEN EASY STEPS - To a 3D model
Step 1
Import your 3D data file into our next-generation ZPrint® software, and position as desired. The system automatically checks printer readiness and material stores, ensuring you always have the right amount of material to complete the job.
Step 2
If supplies do need to be replenished, simply insert a one-liter binder cartridge, connect a powder canister for automatic loading, or snap in a new print head.
Step 3
Click "3D Print" and watch your 3D model emerge from the bottom up one cross-section at a time. A new, expanded status display keeps you apprised of the machine and job status.
Step 4
When printing is complete, a vacuum and vibration system automatically removes as much as 80% of loose powder – and recycles it for future use.
Step 5
Remove the remaining powder with lightly compressed air, in a fully enclosed chamber that vacuums away powder as you go. Unlike other systems, there are no physical support structures to remove with scraping tools.
Step 6
Finish and strengthen your model by dipping in Z-Bond™ sealant, dripping Z-Bond over model, or lighting brushing with Z-Max™.
Step 7
Enjoy a strong, brilliant color 3D model. Fast. In fact, this model was printed and finished in less than four hours.
