3D printers create physical objects from 3D computer-aided design (CAD), building information modeling (BIM) and other digital data much as a 2D printer creates documents from word-processing text.   ZPrinter 3D printers quickly and affordably turn product, building and other designs into physical color models, streamlining design from idea through mid-stage evaluation and presentation. 

ZPrinters set the standard for speed, affordability, color and ease of use, offering:

• Fastest print speed: 5x-10x faster than all other 3D printing technologies
• Lowest operating cost: one-fifth the cost of other technologies
• World's only multicolor 3D printers: full 24-bit color, just like a 2D printer
• Ease of use: only ZPrinters perform most operations automatically

"We are thrilled to help such prominent companies in so many industries improve product development through on-demand prototyping," said Ed DeArias, Z Corp.'s vice president of global sales and service. "It's inspiring to see our customers create innovative uses for ZPrinting and see the tangible business benefits."
