New 'ZBuilder Ultra' Rapid Prototype Machine Delivers Functional Plastic Models at Affordable Price

Z Corporation Device Builds Accurate, High-Resolution Prototypes

ANAHEIM, California, May 18, 2010 - Z Corporation today introduced a rapid prototyping machine that builds
high-end functional prototypes at one-third of the price of machines with
comparable performance. The ZBuilder Ultra will be available in July.

Despite costing a fraction of the price of a stereolithography machine,
the ZBuilder(TM) Ultra builds durable plastic parts that rivals injection
moulding's accuracy, material properties, detail, and surface finish. It
enables engineers to verify designs for form, fit, and function prior to
full-scale production, eliminating costly modifications to production tooling
and shortening time to market.

How It Works

The ZBuilder Ultra builds 3D parts additively using a high-resolution
Digital Light Processor (DLP) projector to solidify a liquid photopolymer.

    Key Benefits

    - Duplicate digital CAD models precisely
       - Accurate: part features within +/- 0.008 inches* (+/- 0.2 mm*)
       - Precision optics and motion systems for repeatability
       - Innovative process with movement only in the Z-direction
    - Build true functional plastic parts
       - Material properties rival 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 injection-moulded
          - Precise control of each voxel (3D pixel)
          - No "stair stepping"
    - Save time
       - 2X faster than other RP systems
       - Verify designs the next day
       - Speed independent of the number of parts in the build
    - Build Size: 10.2 x 6.3 x 7.5 inches (260 x 160 x 190 mm)

*Typical (may vary by geometry, part orientation, build parameters, and
process)

Where ZBuilder Fits In Product Line

Z Corporation devices now uniquely span the entire product development
process from concept and detail design through building, testing and design
verification. Along with its inkjet 3D printers and portable 3D laser
scanners, Z Corporation devices compress the design cycle, improve
communication, foster collaboration, and reduce costly errors. With a
worldwide network of distribution partners, Z Corporation also provides
integrated sales, service, and support in all of these development phases.

"ZBuilder is the ideal addition to our product line, enabling customers
to streamline the entire product development cycle," said Z Corporation CEO
John Kawola. "For concept and mid-stage modelling when you need speed, low
cost, and visual appeal, our ZPrinters are the fastest and only colour 3D
printers on the market. And when the material properties of a part are
important for final design verification, the affordable ZBuilder delivers
parts that rival injection moulding. Bottom line, engineers now have a single
source for the best design technologies."

Pricing, Availability

The ZBuilder Ultra will be available in July through Z Corporation's
worldwide reseller network. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price in the UK
starts from 29,955 Euros, ex works (Options, shipping, local taxes, and
duties not included).
