BURLINGTON, MA, United States – Z Corporation, whose goal has always been to make 3D printing accessible to everyone, whether designers, engineers, architects or students, launches today 3D professional and economic printers.

The ZPrinter® 150 (monochrome, 14,900 USD) and the ZPrinter® 250 (multi-color, 24,900 USD) are compact and ideal for a classroom, a corporate department or small company. Unlike low-end 3D printers, the new ZPrinter 150 and ZPrinter 250 can be easily used immediately, create 3D models with a resolution five times greater, and have the lowest operating costs the lowest in the industry (lowest cost per model).

Besides the low cost to purchase and use, new ZPrinter print 5 to 10 times faster than other printing technologies in 3D, with the unique opportunity to simultaneously print and stack models. This remarkable advantage in terms of capacity allows ZPrinters meet the needs of classrooms or entire departments during the busiest hours.

The ZPrinter 250 and other ZPrinter color printers are the only printers able to simultaneously print in multiple colors. Color 3D printing enables designers and students to better evaluate the look, effect and style of designs by optimizing 3D models by adding graphics, logos, text, tags and design comments.

The ZPrinter 150/250 specifications include:

* Resolution: 300 x 450 ppm
* Minimum size: 0.4 mm (0.016 in)
* Vertical design speed: 20 mm/hour (0.8 in/hour)
* Design Size: 236 x 185 x 127 mm (9.3 x 7.3 x 5 inches)

The two new ZPrinter incorporate automation features already present in the mid-range printer ZPrinter 450, with automatic configuration, automatic loading of the powder, and the autonomous control of materials and print status. At home or in any office or classroom, they are clean, quiet and produce no hazardous waste.

“The price of ZPrinting technologies are reduced to allow the access to a wider audience” said Z Corporation CEO, John Kawola. “We lead this revolution with new machines with new levels of quality. Although smaller scales than the rest of our range, the ZPrinter offer speed, quality and cost benefit of the Z Corp trademark7”.
