Burlington, MA– Z Corporation has continued its quest to make 3D printing available to every designer, engineer, architect, and student with the introduction of affordable, commercial-class 3D printers.

The ZPrinter 150 and ZPrinter 250 have a small physical footprint ideal for the classroom, department, or small business. Unlike low-end 3D printers, the new ZPrinter 150 and ZPrinter 250: are easy to use out of the box; build 3D models with five times the resolution; and have the industry’s lowest operating cost (lowest cost per model).

In addition to being affordable to purchase and use, the new ZPrinters print five to 10 times faster than other 3D printing technologies, with the unique ability to print multiple, stacked models simultaneously. This dramatic throughput advantage enables ZPrinters to support entire classrooms or departments at their busiest times.

Color_z_printerThe ZPrinter 250 and other color ZPrinters are the only ones capable of simultaneously printing in multiple colors. Color 3D printing enables designers and students to better evaluate the look, feel and style of designs by enhancing 3D models with graphics, logos, text, labels, and design comments.

ZPrinter 150/250 specifications include:

  • Resolution: 300 x 450 dpi.
  • Minimum feature size: 0.016 inches (0.4 mm).
  • Vertical build speed: 0.8 inch/hour (20 mm/hour).
  • Build size: 9.3 x 7.3 x 5 inches (236 x 185 x 127 mm).
Both new ZPrinters incorporate automation features first offered in the midrange ZPrinter 450, including automatic setup, automatic powder loading, and self-monitoring of materials and print status. At home in any office or classroom, they are clean, quiet and free of any hazardous waste.

“The price of ZPrinting is coming down to enable broader adoption by mainstream users,” says Z Corporation CEO John Kawola. “We’re driving that revolution with new machines offering new levels of value. Though smaller in scale than the rest of our line, these ZPrinters deliver trademark Z Corp. speed, quality, and affordability.”
