Getting to Market QuickerWith Intent Designs latestRapid Prototype system
Breakthrough Advantages
• 5-10x faster than other RP technologies
• Lowest cost per-system and most importantly - per-part
• Worlds Only Full Colour 3D printers
– 24 Bit Colour
– 16 Million Colour Pallette
• Versatility
• State of the Art - Ease-of Use
SPEED - COST - COLOUR
• Industry’s fastest build speed (5x-10x faster)
• Build 3D models in hours, not days
Speed and Accuracy
Breakthrough Speed
• Print a typical handheld part in < 2 hours
– 25mm - 50 mm per hour
• Print multiple prototypes at one time
• Ability to service the print queue – When will the Nth engineer
get his part?
Exceptional Detail
• High-quality part detail and surface finish
• Precise, 300 x 450 dpi resolution

Direct Metal Casting
Investment Casting
• Print parts in our investment casting material, dip in wax
• Parts burn out well and don’t have any expansion problems that would lead to shell cracking
Tough, Durable Parts
• Functional
• Superior strength
• Temperature resistance
• Humidity resistance
• Can be machined
• Printed Prototype skateboard– Machined it to support
hardware accessories– Fully Functional
Water Resistant High-Strength Parts
• Water resistant
• Humidity resistant
• Strong and durable
• Sprinkler disassembled and 2 key parts printed on Spectrum Z®510 (sprinkler body and impact arm)
Summary
• Our Z® Corp 3D Printer is world class– Fastest on the market
– Low cost materials
– Produce full, 24-bit color parts

This Technology is Changing the Way New Products Are Developed
Case Studies
Powermate®
• 700 employee maker of portable and standby electric generators, air compressors, air tools, pressure power washers and emergency backup systems
• Want to use 3D printing to refine look, feel and fit throughout the design process
• In the past outsourced models at very high cost, sometimes $2,000 apiece
• Purchased at ZPrinter® 310 Plus and saved time, reduced cost and avoided errors
• Helped company slash annual prototyping costs to $25,000
The Realization Group
• Models delivered to customers four times more quickly than laser-cutting
• Models cost as little as one-sixth that of stereolithography
• Word of mouth spreading quickly throughout the Miami architectural community
• Additional customers can now afford physical architectural models
• The Realization Group can provide two or three models for the previous price of one
Trinity® Products
• $10 million manufacturer of remote-controlled cars
• Need: rapid prototypes for form, fit, function testing
• Solution – ZPrinter® 310 for high-resolution parts (even 1/18 scale)
• Results– Prototypes now strong enough for
functional testing– 80% time savings printing parts– Cut design cycle 50%– Eliminated earlier $800/part cost
• “ … the single biggest step we’ve taken to improve the way we refine concepts, develop products, communicate with suppliers, and market products.”
Mike Wood, Chief Engineer
Black & Decker
• Global manufacturer of DEWALT®, Porter-Cable®, and Delta® tools
• Need – Fast, cost-effective early concept models
• Solution; ZPrinter 310
• Results– Compressed design cycles
– Enhanced product aesthetics, ergonomics
– Improved resource utilization
• “We have been able to reduce model production time by as much as 75 percent”. John Reed, Master Prototype Specialist
