SPECIALTY MATERIALS

Snap-Fit Material has been optimized for infiltration with our Z-Snap™ epoxy to create parts with plastic-like flexural properties which are ideal for snap fit applications. It is a plaster-based system that produces parts with a more porous matrix, allowing them to absorb a greater quantity of the Z-Snap infiltrant.

Elastomeric Material has been optimized for infiltration with an elastomer to create parts with rubber-like properties. The material system consists of a mix of cellulose, specialty fibers and other additives that combine to provide an accurate part capable of absorbing the elastomer, which gives the parts their rubber-like properties.

In addition to the material options, Z Corp. parts can be sanded, drilled, tapped, painted and electroplated, further expanding the options available for finished part characteristics.
