Modern Marvels- Zprinter 650 rapid prototyping a water bottle




Z-Corp Z650 featured on Modern Marvels. Show discusses the engineering, marketing, ergonomics,rapid prototyping and technology used in designing a platic waterbottle.

Basic Prototyping - General Tips




This is a very general introduction to prototyping. Prototyping should always be fast and cheap. You should learn how to sketch, use common items such as tape, cardboard, pvc, wood and paper. Prototypes help you mold your ideas and communicate them to other people that may be stakeholders or artisans that will take your concept to the next level.

Motor Built With ABS Rapid Prototype Parts



The parts for this motor were made on a Dimension Uprint rapid prototype machine we were trying out.
We already had the prints for a class project. We tweaked the parts a bit, put them together, and it actually ran!

FISHER/UNITECH: New uPrint Rapid Prototyping Machine from Stratasys



In this video you will see step-by-step instructions on how to install your printers drivers into your computer, and how to load the ABSplus materials into the printer itself, and just how easy it is to do both.

Rapid Prototyping SLA 250 Machine - Martello Limited



SLA rapid prototyping machine. Watch a rapid prototype being built using layer additive fabrication technology and laser power! This is the industry standard technology for building rapid prototype parts and masters for tooling using vacuum casting technology. Accurate to between 1-2% or 0.1/0.2mm whichever is the greater, SLA parts are proven to work better and have better surface finish and mechanical properties than most other rp technologies.

This is the newest machine on the market. It has the fastest print time, lowest material cost and is the easiest to use.

Rapid Prototyping at it's finest 3D 3-D Printer



Now you can print 3D color models so quickly and affordably, you'll do it every day. Introducing the ZPrinter®450. 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.

Z Corporation has introduced more innovations than any other provider of rapid prototyping solutions, including development of the fastest 3D printers, the world's only color 3D printers, and high-definition 3D printing (HD3DP™) capabilities. Our 3D printers create physical models from computer-aided design (CAD) data by using an inkjet print-head to deposit a liquid binder that solidifies layers of powder. This cutting-edge technology supports a full line of 3D printers that deliver the speed, low operating costs, and high-quality models that product developers need to compete in today's global market.

Rapid Prototyping Ball and Socket Joint



The McGill University rapid prototyper, originally set up in the Centre for Intelligent Machines, can make all kinds of neat devices out of plastic. Here, it's making a ball and socket joint. This time-lapse video took about 12 hours. Images were taken by an SGI Indy camera.

Rapid Prototying an elastomer tire



This is a scaled down version of the Polar Bear robot tire. It was made with a Stratasys FDM 3000 rapid prototyper. The prototyper was originally set up at McGill's Centre for Intelligent Machines. The part was made by James Andrew Smith and took about six hours to complete. The time-lapse video was made using an SGI Indy computer and its camera.
