The ZPrinter
310 3D Printer is the entry-level concept modeling solution
that delivers great models quickly and inexpensively and using
a variety of materials. As a mono device the parts can be
printed "clear" or with a single colour.
Features:
Build Speed: 2-10 layers per
minute (ie. 38 vertical mm per hour on average)
Build Volume: 254 x 203 x 203 mm
Layer Thickness: User-selectable at time of printing: 0.076-0.254
mm
Equipment Dimensions: 74 x 81 x 109 cm
Equipment Weight: 113 kg
System Software: Z
Corporation's proprietary System Software accepts solid models
in STL formats as input. System Software runs on Microsoft
Windows® XP, 2000 and NT.

FAQ's
1. What is new and unique about the ZPrinter 310?
Z Corporations 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 Corporations 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 Corporations 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.
