  1. 3-D Ink-Jet Printer Kolby Felts 11-7-08

  2. Applications: • Product Design • Architecture • Medical Applications • Engineering • Computer Games and Film • Research and Education Features: • Uses a plaster powder • Excellent part resolution • Color printing • No support material • "Plug and play" operation • Network-ready • Intelligent job queuing

  3. Benefits: • Quickly produce parts directly from 3D CAD or model data • Address a wide range of applications • Clean, quiet and safe • No special training required • Print color models to enhance communication • Address design issues early in the development cycle • Accelerate design cycles and time-to-market • Reduce product development costs Automated Part Removal

  5. Extra Information: Build Speed: 2 - 4 layers per minute Build Size: 203 x 254 x 204 mm Layer Thickness: User selectable at the time of printing; .089 - .102 mm Material options: High performance composite. Equipment Dimensions: 122 x 79 x 140 cm Resolution: 300 x 450 dpi Number of Print Heads Two: (one tricolor, one clear) Equipment Weight : 193 Kg System Software: Z Corporation's proprietary software accepts solid models in STL, VRML, and PLY file formats as input. ZPrint software features 3D viewing, text labeling, and scaling functionality.

  6. How it works: • You begin by creating your part in a 3D cad or model program. • Then you import the object into the Z Corp software in the position you want it. • The machine will check to make sure you have enough supplies to complete the object being built. If not it is easy to add new materials. • Next you hit print and watch as your part is being created. • When its finished it vacuums all the left over plaster powder for reuse of your next parts. • Next you move to the second chamber where you can blow off the extra powder attached to your part. The chamber is vacuumed so all the powder is removed immediately. • Last you dip it in Zbond sealant and let it dry.

  7. Definitions: Additive-Adding material to an object usually layer by layer. Can be used as a synonym for rapid prototyping. Subtractive-removing away of materials such as with mills, lathes, and drills Compressive-compress large files to make them smaller. Slice File-Slice Files are a unique type of file; they contain (or reference) a single piece of sample data, have a list of markers denoting "slices" of the sample, and also have a set of parameters such as tempo and time signature.
