3ZMODEL is Solidscape’s most durable material with a 50% strength improvement over previous offerings. This increased durability enables designers to incorporate more intricate details with thinner walls into their work. As a result, they can produce lighter-weight finished products, offering savings in precious metals, which in turn allows them to meet their pricing strategies. The 3ZMODEL material also features 100% castability with no material shrinkage.
“Once the printing is completed, labor is saved again because the 3ZSUPPORT material completely dissolves away in a liquid solution, leaving an extremely smooth finished wax part of intricate geometries without the need for manual refining,” remarked Fabio Esposito, VP worldwide sales and marketing for Solidscape.
Both 3ZMODEL and 3ZSUPPORT materials come in distinctive color-coded and uniquely-shaped “crayon” forms, offering simplified dust-free loading of pre-measured amounts that eliminate operator error. Both new materials are safe and non-toxic and do not require any special waste disposal.
“These new materials are designed specifically for the new 3ZPRO printer just announced July 10th,” stated Esposito. “With one-touch simplicity, the fully automated 3ZPRO printer brings the power of 3D high precision printing to the office desktop and retail environments.”
