It is
critical for students to have access to physical models of
their designs early in the design process in order to fully
understand and experience the product design cycle. Key criteria
for evaluating 3D Printers for classroom use are:
1. Speed: A high throughput 3D printer is necessary to support
several classes of 20 to 30 students each semester.
2. Low Cost: A low cost per printed part is critical both
to support students and keep within budgetary constraints.
3. Reliability: A safe and reliable 3D printer is important,
since it operates continuously in a classroom environment.
The
ZCorp 3D Printers in use throughout education:
Mechanical Engineering: ZCorp 3D Printers are capable
of creating appearance prototypes directly from digital data,
allowing students to evaluate their designs in 3D.
Architecture:
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.
Industrial
Design: ZCorp 3D Printers can produce models of any complexity.
The models can be sanded and painted to replicate production
models.
Fine
Arts: Students are able to create physical output of their
projects and gain valuable feedback on their projects.
Bio-Medical
Research: The unique capability of ZCorp’s Colour
3D Printers to create full color parts allows researchers
to accurately represent molecular models in three-dimensions.
