Mechanical Design

Rapid Prototyping

Leading product designers use our prototyping machines to accelerate the design process and bring products to market sooner. Applications include:

• Concept Models - Get early design feedback, improve communication, and test ergonomics
• Functional Testing - Verify designs for form, fit and function prior to full-scale production; plus reduce costly modifications to production tooling
• Finite Element Analysis - Produce prototypes displaying color finite element analysis data right on the part. Improve collaboration among project teams, and identify design flaws earlier
• Presentation Models - Communicate clearly with peers and clients, and perform focus group testing
• Packaging Development - Streamline the design process for glass and plastic packaging used in consumer products, healthcare, chemicals, beverages, and automotive products

3D Scanning

Z Corp.’s ultra-portable, handheld 3D scanners are ideal for uses including:

• Reverse Engineering - Speed, accuracy and ease-of-use for aftermarket product design 
• Packaging Design - Create custom packaging by scanning product samples for exact geometry
• Ergonomic Design - Scan hand-crafted samples to produce complex designs from scratch 
• Digital Archiving - Save money by storing tooling, samples and prototypes digitally 
• Digital Media, Gaming & Animation - Create digital media from artist's concept models 
• Arts & Cultural Heritage - Produce high-resolution, low-impact scans for accurate restorations and reconstructions of artwork and architecture
• Medical Education - Create detailed reproductions of complex organs and bone structures 
• Medical Orthosis - Custom-design braces and other devices for precision comfort
