Presenting the ZPrinter® 850Most Productive 3D Printer: Large Models, Highest Throughput
ZPrinter 850Overview
• Most productive 3D printing system
• Featuring– Large build volume– Highest throughput/ fastest print
speed– Easy to use– Lowest cost per model– High-quality models– Top-of-the line color
ZPrinter 850Applications
• High volumes of concept models– Footwear manufacturers
• Very large prototypes– Appliance/equipment manufacturers
• Large building models– Architects
“This is just what we’ve been looking for. The larger build size gives us the flexibility to work in standard scales, see greater detail, and increase our overall capacity. The ZPrinter 850 will be great for business.”
-Wesley Wright, Designer, Pelli Clarke Pelli
“The additional capacity will help us better meet the demand of our R&D teams. The ZPrinter 850 could also open up new uses for sporting equipment where we really need large, colorful prototypes. I’m certain we’ll see huge demand for this new in-house capability.”
-Dave Schwirian, Model Shop/RP Manager, Nike
• 20 x 15 x 9 inches
(508 x 381 x 229 mm)
ZPrinter 850Largest Build Volume
2700 cubic inches!
ZPrinter 850Highest Throughput/Fastest Print Speed
• Build 96 baseball-size models in a single build– Make multiple models in a single build; stack and
nest parts in build chamber
• 5x-10x faster than other technologies– Create models at a rate of .2 - .6 inch (5 - 15 mm)
per hour; speed increases with volume of models
• Raster (versus vector) approach– Print head encompasses multiple jets – 300 per half
inch (12.7 mm) covering a half-inch (12.7 mm) swatch with each pass
ZPrinter 850Affordable to Use
• Lowest operating cost– Lowest operating cost of other 3D printers
• Total cost for finished models about $4.50 - $5.5 AUD per in3
– Affordable plaster powder • Used widely in industrial applications
– No wasted build material• No supports, plus unused powder is recycled for future builds
• Water-cure infiltration process – Virtually cost-free
• Easy to maintain– Off-the-shelf inkjet printing technology– Modular design makes component replacement quick and easy
ZPrinter 850Easy to Use
• Any designer, engineer, or architect can print a 3D model– No special training– Runs unattended during printing
• Hands-on time for operation limited to a few minutes
– Operate the system remotely from the desktop• ZPrint software enables monitoring of powder,
binder, ink levels• Remotely read machine’s LCD display• Alternately, operate system from the printer
– One setup procedure
ZPrinter 850High-Quality Prototypes, 3D Models
• Accuracy similar to basic injection molding– Electronic system precisely controls printing action– Print head accurately and precisely deposits
binder and color in areas indicated by ZPrint™ software
– Minimum feature size: 0.004 inch (0.1 mm)
ZPrinter 850Top-of-the Line Color
• 390,000 unique colors
• Realistic 3D models, plus add text, labels, design comments
• How it Works– Converts colors from RGB to CMYK– Combines CMYK drops in the same area,
using dither patterns to blend elements into colors
