Solidscape, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Stratasys, announces the launch of the 3ZSTUDIO 3D printer.
The plug-and-print 3ZSTUDIO 3D printer is designed specifically for the needs of custom retail jewelers. With one-touch simplicity, jewelry designers and retailers of any technical level can now produce their own intricate wax patterns, ready for casting. The 3ZSTUDIO offers an effortless, affordable workflow that delivers high casting yields, consistent turnarounds and low cost-per-parts economy.
The 3ZSTUDIO features include a compact retail tabletop design, an intuitive icon based one-touch screen and variable resolutions for greater control.
"Our partners share our excitement about bringing to the custom retail jewelry market Solidscape's legendary high precision at an affordable price of $24,650 USD," remarked Fabio Esposito, VP Worldwide Sales and Marketing, Solidscape, Inc.
The 3ZSTUDIO uses Solidscape's next generation of stronger, more durable materials, 3ZMODEL and 3ZSUPPORT. These materials produce wax patterns that are easier to work with, while retaining the precision and smooth finish characteristics required for successful investment casting.
"Until now jewelry retailers were forced to choose between the precision they needed, a performance level that fits their business and a price they could afford," stated Esposito. "Now they no longer need to compromise on any critical feature-it is jewelry perfection simplified."
