ZBuilder rapid prototyping systems create high-end functional prototypes for a fraction of the cost of stereolithography machines. These all-in-one devices build parts additively using a high-resolution Digital Light Processor (DLP) projector to solidify a liquid photopolymer, resulting in durable plastic parts that mimic injection molding for accuracy, material properties, detail, and surface finish. Imaging an entire cross-section at once, the devices build at twice the speed of machines with comparable performance. ZBuilders enable you to verify designs for form, fit and function prior to full-scale production; eliminate costly modifications to production tooling; and ultimately shorten time to market.

ZBuilder UltraApplications

  • Evaluate product designs prior to full-scale production
  • Verify designs for form, fit, function
  • Create concept models to improve communication and refine designs

Duplicate Digital CAD Models Precisely

  • Accurate; part features within +/- 0.008 inches* (+/- 0.2 mm*)
  • Precision optics and motion systems for repeatability
  • Only movement in the Z-direction

Build True Functional Plastic Parts

Material Properties Mimic Final Parts

  • Strong and flexible
  • Consistent regardless of orientation

Razor-Thin Walls and Sharp Detail

  • Minimum feature size 0.005 inches (138 microns)
  • X/Y resolution from highest resolution DLP engine
  • Precise control of light source delivers sharp edges

Ultra-Smooth Surface Finish

  • Parts appear injected molded
  • Precise control of each voxel (3D pixel)
  • No "stair stepping"

Save Time

  • 2X faster than other functional prototyping systems
  • Verify designs the next day
  • Speed independent of the number of parts in the build
  • Only seconds per exposure

How it Works

  • Similar to SLA systems
  • High-resolution DLP system instead of complex laser technology
  • Highly controlled exposure for each voxel
  • Exposed photopolymer solidifies into robust solid plastic
