The ZPrinter System introduces HD3DP™ (high-definition 3D printing) for rapid prototyping to designers, engineers, and product developers.

In addition to providing high-fidelity, 24-bit color, the system supports 600 X 540 dpi (dots per inch) print-head resolution, large build sizes (254 mm X 356 mm X 203 mm, 10 in. X 14 in. X 8 in), improved surface finish, smaller feature resolution, and low operating costs. Color capabilities allow for better representation of assemblies, enhanced texture mapping, and vibrant product coloring. The system’s software also enables labeling for improved communication of designs.

"Worldwide adoption of color 3D printing technology has accelerated in recent years, and we are pleased that we have already received over 100 orders for the new system,” notes John Kawola, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing. “The ZPrinter System is the only 3D printer capable of producing full-color, high-definition prototypes, which provide product developers with the best means available for evaluating product designs and design concepts early in the development process."
