The ZPrinter(R) 150
(www.zcorp.com/Products/3D-Printers/ZPrinter-150/spage.aspx )
(monochrome, 10,900 pounds) and ZPrinter(R) 250
(www.zcorp.com/Products/3D-Printers/ZPrinter-250/spage.aspx )
(multicolour, 17,900 pounds) have a small physical footprint ideal for the
classroom, department, or small business. Unlike low-end 3D printers, the new
ZPrinter 150 and ZPrinter 250 are: easy to use out of the box; build 3D
models with five times the resolution; and have the industry's lowest
operating cost (lowest cost per model).

In addition to being affordable to purchase and use, the new ZPrinters
print five to 10 times faster than other 3D printing technologies, with the
unique ability print multiple, stacked models simultaneously. This dramatic
throughput advantage enables ZPrinters to support entire classrooms or
departments at their busiest times.

The ZPrinter 250 and other colour ZPrinters are the only ones capable of
simultaneously printing in multiple colours. Colour 3D printing enables
designers and students to better evaluate the look, feel and style of designs
by enhancing 3D models with graphics, logos, text, labels, and design
comments.

ZPrinter 150/250 specifications include:

    - Resolution: 300 x 450 dpi

    - Minimum Feature Size: 0.016 inches (0.4 mm)

    - Vertical Build Speed: 0.8 inch/hour (20 mm/hour)

    - Build Size: 9.3 x 7.3 x 5 inches (236 x 185 x 127 mm)

Both new ZPrinters incorporate automation features first offered in the
midrange ZPrinter 450, including automatic setup, automatic powder loading,
and self-monitoring of materials and print status. At home in any office or
classroom, they are clean, quiet and free of any hazardous waste.

"The price of ZPrinting is coming down to enable broader adoption by
mainstream users," said Z Corporation CEO John Kawola. "We're driving that
revolution with new machines offering new levels of value. Though smaller in
scale than the rest of our line, these ZPrinters deliver trademark Z Corp.
speed, quality, and affordability."

The ZPrinter 150 and ZPrinter 250 are available now through Z
Corporation's worldwide reseller network. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail
Price in the UK starts from 10,900 pounds and 17,900 pounds respectively, ex
