Z Corp. 3D Printers can be used to output finite element analysis data in full color. The parts are used to enhance communication among project teams and aid in the discovery of design flaws early in the design cycle
Clear communication between designers and manufacturers is crucial during the design process, because the discovery of design flaws early in the process prevents unexpected costs and delays. In a product design process, it is crucial that everyone on the team fully understands the design and is able to provide valuable feedback. The Z Corp. 3D Printer dramatically improves communication within the design process.
The Z Corp. solution provides the ability to:
Communicate with Customers Z Corp. 3D Printers are capable of creating appearance prototypes directly from digital data, quickly and inexpensively. Full color models representing FEA output allow engineers to communicate concept designs to the customer.
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.
Print Full Color Parts The Z Corp. 3D Printer is the only rapid prototyping machine capable of outputting FEA data because of its unique ability to create full-color parts quickly and inexpensively.
