Z Corporation will demonstrate a range of 3D printing and 3D laser scanning technologies at this year’s RAPID 2011 Conference & Exposition in booth #404.

From ZPrinters that pump out multicolor concept models, to ZBuilder Ultra rapid prototyping machines that affordably create plastic prototypes of injection-molded quality, to 3D laser scanners that capture surface data for reverse engineering and inspection, Z Corporation technology supports the entire product development spectrum from inspiration through quality control.

On display will be:

ZScanner® portable 3D scanners, including the ZScanner 700, ZScanner 700 CX and the ZScanner 800, using Geomagic and Rapidform software for specific applications.

The ZPrinter^® 450, a full-color, easy to use, office-friendly 3D printer delivering color, automation and a print speed five to 10 times faster than any other technology.

The ZBuilder^™ Ultra rapid prototyping machine, which builds durable plastic parts rivaling injection-molding’s accuracy, material properties, detail and surface finish.

Z Corporation, whose technology is also a favorite of architects who need to quickly and cost-effectively create building models, will offer a special workshop at the show primarily for architects and others in the industry. The 3D Printing for AEC Workshop takes place on Thursday, May 26th at 9 a.m. during the Architecture Breakout session. It features Z Corporation customer Charles Overy, president of the LGM architectural visualization firm, and Olimpio Demarco, Z Corporation’s director of business development. This session is an AIA approved course and earns 1.5 CEU credits for attending members.

Z Corporation will also participate in the annual RAPID Puzzle Challenge, hand out samples of multicolor 3D printed models, and hold a drawing for a Flip camcorder.

Z Corporation senior executives will be on hand to listen to attendees’ product development priorities and discuss which rapid prototyping and 3D scanning technologies can best meet their needs.
