ZPrinter 450

ZPrinter® 450

Now you can print 3D color models so quickly and affordably, you'll do it every day. Introducing the ZPrinter450. The ZPrinter 450 makes color 3D printing accessible to everyone. The lowest priced color 3D printer available, it outputs brilliant color models with time-saving automation and an easy printing process.

Key Advantages

More Models

Experience the world's fastest print speed - 5X faster than all other systems
Output models in hours, not days
Build multiple models at the same time by stacking and nesting parts
Support an entire engineering department or classroom with ease

More Communication

3D models and product prototypes are about communication, and nothing communicates better than color. Color dramatically communicates engineering product designs, vividly renders architectural designs, and even brings animated characters into the real world.

Produce realistic color models without paint
Better evaluate the look, feel, and style of product designs
Add highlights to models with annotations like text, arrows, and texture maps

More Free Time

The ZPrinter 450 performs most operations automatically so you don't have to, and it simplifies the rest

40% less operator touch time for setup and model removal
Automated setup and self monitoring
Automated powder loading and recycling
New "snap-in" binder cartridges

Office-Friendly

ZPrinter 450 Compatibility

The ZPrinter 450 sets the standard for office compatibility with breakthrough innovations that make it ideal for everyday use in a standard office environment. It eliminates nearly all of the hazards, waste, noise, and disposal issues that are associated with typical rapid prototyping systems, and does so in a remarkably compact footprint.

Clean

Most advanced powder-management system available on an inkjet 3D printer
Closed-loop powder loading, removal, and recycling
Continuous negative pressure for containing airborne particles within the envelope of the machine
Zero liquid waste to handle

Quiet

Noise-suppression technologies for quiet, intrusion-free operation

Safe

Similar to a common 2D inkjet printer
Eco-friendly, non-hazardous build material
No physical support structures attached to models, like other 3D printers. And no need to remove those supports with dangerous cutting tools or toxic chemicals

Convenient

Greater control from ZPrint software and printer
Automatic powder loading
Snap-in binder cartridges
Easily changeable print heads
