FAQ's
1. What is new and unique about the ZPrinter 310?
Z Corporation’s product lines have gained strong adoption in the marketplace for their speed, low operating cost, ease of
use and versatility. In the ZPrinter 310, those product attributes have been further enhanced to make the ZPrinter 310 the fastest, lowest cost and simplest 3D Printing solution available on market.

2. How does the ZPrinter work?
Like Z Corporation’s previous entry-level model, the ZPrinter310 constructs a part by taking a CAD file in .STL format and
building up the part layer by layer. The geometry is constructed by spreading a layer of powder, printing the
cross section of the part and then printing the next layer. The layers are built one on top of the other until the part is complete. The geometry is supported by un-printed powder allowing a wide range of part complexity. The technology does not rely on
support structures to hold up the part during the build phase.

3. What is the price of the ZPrinter 310?
£12,160 ex. works, plus shipping, accessories & VAT.

4. What are the key differences between the ZPrinter 310 and the Z400, Z Corporations previous entry-level monochrome printer?
• Lower Operating Cost (Print Head Amortization)
• Simpler to operate, maintain and service
• Network compatibility
• Hewlett Packard print head technology
The ZPrinter 310 has been completely redesigned to offer a number of operation and performance improvements. These include design features to simplify operation, maintenance and service. The system uses Hewlett Packard (HP) print head technology. The ZPrinter 310 may be run via serial connection direct to the PC or via Ethernet network connection. The build size of the ZPrinter 310 is 8” x 10” x 8”.

5. What are the key differences between the ZPrinter 310 and the Z510, Z Corporation’s high speed, 4 print-head, full color printer?
The ZPrinter 310 utilizes one HP printhead while the Z510 utilizes four HP printheads. The four printheads used on the Z510 allow parts to be printed in full color. The ZPrinter 310 is a monochrome-only printer. The Z510 also has a larger build volume at 350 x 250 x 200mm.

6. What materials will run on the ZPrinter 310?
The ZPrinter 310 will use the same material set as the Z510. This includes zp130, zp14 and zp15e powders as well as zb58 and zb51 binders.

8. How much do the materials cost?
Powder, binder and printheads are consumed in the part printing process. The strength of the part may be enhanced using a range of infiltrants. Depending on the geometry and infiltrant choices, the total cost of these consumables range between £1-2 per cubic inch of finished part. Any powder not printed can be fully recycled.

9. What is the standard delivery time?
Units are generally available within 4 weeks of order placement.

10. Will ZCast be available on the ZPrinter 310?
Yes, with an upgrade package which includes the purchase of materials starter kit and end-use
license, ZCAST is available for the ZPrinter 310. ZCast is a set of materials that allow the user to
print molds for direct metal casting.
