After all, lifting a model out of a bed of powder, recycling that material for reuse, then cleaning down the machine for the next build is inherently a messy business - which doesn’t lend itself to an office-type environment.

What is also known about Z Corp.’s products is that due to their powder-based build process, there is a certain amount of mess involved. By combining the layer-based build process similar to that found in many other systems with inkjet printing technology, Z Corp.’s machines can build your parts in 3D color, allowing you to communicate much more than just geometric form. offers the ability to take a full-color 3D digital model from your MCAD or CAD system and create a replica that contains not only the form of the part but also the aesthetic quality. Secondly, Z Corp.’s products are also now known for one single differentiator: color. The new ZPrinter 450 builds on Z Corp.’s existing 3D printing technology and creates a near-closed loop-automated system that takes much of the manual processes out of the workflow to create fullcolor 3D concept models. The rate of construction of models is quicker than much of its competition - around the 1 inch per hour mark. First, its 3D printers are known for the speed with which they can build parts. Z Corporation is well known within the product development industry for doing two things.
