Accurate, High-Resolution Plastic Prototypes
New ZBuilder Ultra Rapid Prototype Machine Delivers Functional Plastic Models at Affordable Price
   
Z Corporation Device Builds Accurate, High-Resolution Prototypes  
   
ZBuilder rapid prototyping systems create high-end functional prototypes for a fraction of the cost of stereolithography machines. These all-in-one devices build parts additively using a high-resolution Digital Light Processor (DLP) projector to solidify a liquid photopolymer, resulting in durable plastic parts that mimic injection molding for accuracy, material properties, detail, and surface finish. Imaging an entire cross-section at once, the devices build at twice the speed of machines with comparable performance. ZBuilders enable you to verify designs for form, fit and function prior to full-scale production; eliminate costly modifications to production tooling; and ultimately shorten time to market.  
   
How It Works  
The ZBuilder Ultra builds 3D parts additively using a high-resolution Digital Light Processor (DLP) projector to solidify a liquid photopolymer.  
   
Key Benefits  
• Duplicate digital CAD models precisely
- Accurate; part features within +/- 0.008 inches* (+/- 0.2 mm*)
- Precision optics and motion systems for repeatability
- Innovative process with movement only in the Z-direction

• Build true functional plastic parts
- Material properties rival final parts
- Strong and flexible
- Consistent regardless of orientation
- Razor-thin walls and sharp detail
- Minimum feature size: 0.005 inches (138 microns)
- X/Y resolution from highest resolution DLP engine
- Precise control of light source delivers sharp edges
- Ultra-Smooth Surface Finish
- Parts appear injection-molded
- Precise control of each voxel (3D pixel)
- No “stair stepping”

• Save time
- 2X faster than other RP systems
- Verify designs the next day
- Speed independent of the number of parts in the build

• Build Size: 10.2 x 6.3 x 7.5 inches (260 x 160 x 190 mm)
* Typical (may vary by geometry, part orientation, build parameters, and process)
 
   
Where ZBuilder Fits In Product Line  
Z Corporation devices now uniquely span the entire product development process from concept and detail design through building, testing and design verification. Along with its inkjet 3D printers and portable 3D laser scanners, Z Corporation devices compress the design cycle, improve communication, foster collaboration, and reduce costly errors.  
   
Applications  
• Evaluate product designs prior to full-scale production
• Verify designs for form, fit, function
• Create concept models to improve communication and refine designs
