Why choose 3D Printing?
3D Printing is the ideal solution for:
- Architecture models: Leading architects, engineers and contractors use Z Corp models from conceptual design through construction. From massing models to iterations of detail components for a design study, 3D printing offers a fast, cost effective solution to fabricate complex geometries in high definition colour.
- GIS-models: Using 3D landscape/cityscape models for education, situational analysis, and communication requires the conversion of geographic information systems (GIS) data to physical form. Traditional processes for building this type of models - hand made, CNC, or moulded - are slow and expensive. Our 3D printing machine can produce high-quality terrain, urban and subsurface maps in no time at low cost. The technology will enable you to analyse critical elements with easily reproducible 3D models.
- Concept models: With the 3D printing technology early stage concept models of any complexity can be created quickly. A typical part can be printed in less than three days. The colour option gives you the advantage of being able to analyse colour variations in an early stage without having to spend extra time and money to post-process painting.
Some good reasons to choose 3D printing:
- Fast: standard lead time of 3 working days
- Colour: Parts are printed directly in colour, which reduces lead times.
- Economical: Compared to conventional model making processes for building similar models, where turnaround can take weeks and cost thousands of euros, the 3D printing process offers an affordable solution.
