Z Corporation 3D Printers are capable of creating early stage concept models of any complexity directly from digital data, quickly and inexpensively. A typical part can be printed in a few hours.
Communicate Internally Z Corp. 3D printers enable design teams to efficiently iterate on product concepts early in the design process, enabling multiple renditions to be visualized and critiqued by a variety of functional teams within an organization
Perform Iterative Design Quick, inexpensive models make it possible to print multiple pieces during the course of a project and use the models not only to present, but also as part of the creative process
Communicate with Clients Functional appearance prototypes are useful in solving problems and obtaining agreement on a design direction.
Communicate Across Distances Z Corp. parts can be sent to key contributors, providing more concrete data than a screen shot or paper printout.
Identify Problems Early Z Corp. parts provide a fast and efficient way to identify issues and challenges with a design very early in the process.
Achieve Consensus on a Design A physical model allows members of the design team to fully understand the pros and cons of design concepts, making the consensus process easier.
Perform Ergonomic Testing Quick and inexpensive concept models allow designers to test the ergonomics of the design and conduct shape studies in the industrial design process.
