Designfusion offers a cost effective rapid prototyping service. We leverage our extensive knowledge of 3D Printing technology to deliver the highest quality parts within the tightest deadlines. The 3D Printing process creates an exact physical model of a 3D solid model.

Empowered by the most advanced and cost effective 3D printing technology available today, Designfusion will produce a 3D printed part of any complexity, in high resolution, in full color, with a variety of material and finish properties from high-strength to plastic-like flexuosity.

Main Features of 3D Printing / Rapid Prototyping Technology by ZCorporation

• Reproduce your 3D models in full color with high resolution. Ideal for parts high-strength requirements, delicate or thin-walled parts, accurate representation of design details.
• Able to add color to your monochrome part, colored text annotations, labels, markup or map (wrap or project) a jpeg image to you part to enhance a communication value of your model .
• The highest available 3D printing resolution allows to reproduce fine details and thin walls.
• Meet various size requirements by scaling: upscale or downscale of 3D model.
• Versatile materials and finishes are available to achieve a desired properties: high-strength, plastic-like flexuosity, full-color or pure white, strong molds with good surface finishes.
• Compatible with 3D data from a majority of 3D modeling software applications: Solid Edge, Pro/Engineer, CATIA, Inventor, SolidWorks, 3D Studio Max, Rhino, RasMol, SketchUp, RapidForm, Alias, Raindrop GeoMagic, 3D Studio Viz, Form Z, VectorWorks, Mimics, CT/MRI diagnostic data, protein molecule modeling database data, digitalized 3D-scan data, etc.
• The following data formats are directly accepted: STL, VRML (WRL), PLY, 3DS,  SFX.

Who can benefit from 3D Printing / Rapid Prototyping:

Manufacturing and engineering companies
This rapid prototyping method is widely used by developers and manufacturers of consumer goods, electronics to mechanical and mechatronic devices for:

• Proof of concept
• Visualization modeling
• Ergonomic testing
• Multiple iterations of a model for use as part of the creative process
• Fast and efficient way to identify issues and challenges early in the design
• Output finite element analysis data in full color
• Package design and development
• Physical tests, snap-fit tests, direct casting and investment casting patterns, for prototype blow molding and thermoforming
