ZPrinter 450 + zb 63
zp150 is a High Performance Plus material for making strong, high-definition parts. It
features the highest green strength right out of the printer, improved final strength and
because the material is so white, 3D models printed with zp150 feature vivid color.
ZPrinter 650 + zb 61
Additionally, zp150 features a new Water Cure finishing option. Simply spray your 3Dprinted model with a fine mist of water mixed with salt, dry it, and its ready to be
shown and touched.
zp150s performance improvements and the new Water Cure option truly expand the
possibilities of your 3D printer. Use Water Cure for early concept iterations and
ergonomics tests, and then finish your new designs with Z-Max for functional testing.

2.3 zp 140
zp 140 is a High Performance Plus powder system that sets new limits to how easy it is
to print in 3D. It features a salt water cure process that makes it easy, fast and
affordable to get from clicking Print to passing a model around at a meeting or in a
classroom. zp140 is the material of choice for concept models.
Spectrum Z510 + zb 60
A key advantage of the zp 140 is the salt water cure option. It has been specially
engineered to allow parts to be post-processed by dipping them in salt water or
spraying a fine mist on the surface. The reaction with water confers models additional
strength and binds any remaining loose powder.
Because this material is so white, color 3D models printed with zp 140 feature
extremely vivid color. This color can be maintained by infiltrating with standard
infiltrants like Z-Bond or Z-Max.
Tech Tip
Water misting before soaking the
parts helps preserve your 3D
models smallest features.
Architectural models benefit from
using zp 140 infiltrated with water
where true whiteness is desired.
zb 60 binder is formulated to work specifically with both zp 131 and zp 140, making it
easier to swap back and forth, should your application require it.

If you need to work with metal casting, Z Corporation has two options for you: direct metal casting with ZCast or
investment casting with zp 14. Either way you get your cast parts quickly, with the accuracy of 3D printing directly
from the CAD file.
3.1
ZCast 501
Spectrum Z510 + zb 56
The ZCast 501 Direct Metal Casting process provides the ability to produce cast metal
parts from a CAD file significantly faster and less expensively than traditional prototype
casting methods. Printing molds and cores directly from digital data eliminates the
pattern and core box production step used in traditional sand-casting processes. Metal
is poured directly into the 3D printed molds. The technology allows engineers to
prototype parts in metal that are costly and time consuming to produce using
traditional methods.
Direct Casting Material can be used to create sand casting molds for non-ferrous
metals. This material is a blend of foundry sand, plaster, and other additives that have
been combined to provide strong molds with good surface finish. It is designed to
withstand the heat required to cast non-ferrous metals.
After removal from the printer, printed molds must be baked in an oven at 375F for 4-8
hours to remove excess moisture from the mold before metal is poured. ZCast 501
molds should never be infiltrated. Common foundry products such as core paste and
refractory mold wash can be used to prepare the mold for pour as they have been
designed to withstand the temperatures of the casting process. Refer to the ZCast
Design Guide for more details on this process.

Investment Casting
zp 14 Investment Casting Material can be used to quickly fabricate parts that can be
dipped in wax to produce investment casting patterns. The material consists of a mix of
cellulose, specialty fibers, and other additives that combine to provide an accurate part
while maximizing the absorption of wax and minimizing residue during the burnout
process.
Investment casting using zp 14 involves printing a male pattern, which is then infiltrated
with wax and/or Z-Bond 11. Once infiltrated, the pattern is coated with an investment
slurry, creating a mold. A cycle in the oven will burn out the printed pattern.

Elastomeric Materials
4.1
zp 15e
Elastomeric material has been optimized for infiltration with an elastomer to create
parts with rubber-like properties. The material consists of a mix of cellulose, specialty
fibers, and other additives that combine to provide an accurate part capable of
absorbing the elastomer, which gives the parts their rubber-like properties.

Infiltration
Infiltration is the process of applying a liquid resin to a printed part to provide strength and impart specific properties.
Our infiltration systems have been selected for their ability to fill porosities, for the exceptional mechanical and
thermal properties they confer models and for their ease of use.
5.1
How It Works
The first diagram illustrates the open matrix of green (justprinted) parts. The powder particles (shown in gray) are bonded
to each other by the binder (shown in red).
In the second drawing, infiltrant (shown in yellow) has been
applied to the surface of the matrix, and is starting to penetrate,
displacing air from the interior of the matrix.
Finally, the third diagram shows how the infiltrant is drawn into
the part, sealing the surface area and improving the appearance
and strength of the part.

Concept Modeling
Infiltrant Characteristics
Z-Bond 101/Z-Bond 90
Z-Bond 101 is an extremely fast-curing infiltrant, designed to rapidly strengthen 3Dprinted parts. Z-Bond 101 is a low odor formulation and is easy to apply. With Z-Bond
101 Premium Instant infiltrant, you can enjoy strong, vividly colored models in as little
as 5 minutes.
Z-Bond 101 is the strongest and fastest concept modeling infiltrant and also one of the
most lightfast, under office-type lighting.
Z-Bond 101 is also available in a Dipping Kit. This convenient kit has everything you
need to easily and cleanly dip your parts. It includes two bottles of Z-Bond 101, a
dipping container, funnel, safety glasses and gloves - all for the price of just the ZBond 101.
Z-Bond 90 is a fast-curing infiltrant for 3D-printed parts. It is a low odor formulation
that makes strong and very colorful models.
Tech Tip
A little sanding goes a long way
in improving the appearance of
your models.
Before infiltration, take a minute
to lightly sand away unevenness
in the color of the part.
Once infiltrated the colors of the
parts will be brighter and more
uniform in appearance.
Z-Bond 90 is the best value instant infiltrant and a great choice for many concept
modeling applications.
Z-Bond 90 is available in a Dipping Kit as well. As with Z-Bond 101, the kit has
everything you need including three bottles of Z-Bond 90, two dipping containers,
funnel, safety glasses and gloves.

Z-Max
Z-Max is the infiltrant of choice for the user that needs prototyping functionality from
their parts. A part infiltrated with Z-Max allows engineers and designers to quickly test
design iterations without the cost and time associated with waiting for molded plastic
parts. Once infiltrated, parts can easily be machined, tapped, sanded, and painted. ZMax will give you a very hard, very rigid, and very strong part.

Resistant to temperature and
humidity
Z-Max is a high strength infiltrant. This product was formulated to support needs not
met by any product currently on the market. The primary factors are convenience and
performance.
Tech Tip
Convenience: Z-Max has 35 minutes of working time, which is plenty of time to apply it
and will cure without the need for an oven.
Performance: Z-Max is a low viscosity formulation, 120 cP, which means deeper,
quicker penetration. The result is very strong models, up to 43 MPa of flexural strength
and up to 98 MPa of compression strength. Parts made with Z-Max are hard and rigid
so they dont deform under load. Z-Max also has good temperature resistance, with a
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT @ 66 psi) of 115C. *
Z-Max is a two-part system. In the package, both parts of the resin are supplied simply
requiring mixture before use. Two sizes are available: a 250 gram pre-measured kit and
a bulk .7 gallon kit.
After infiltration, Z-Max infiltrated parts cure at room temperature in 12-24 hours. The
use of an oven for the cure cycle reduces the cure time to just 2 hours, producing
consistently strong parts quickly.
Parts treated with Z-Max High Strength infiltrant can be sanded, drilled, tapped or
machined, as needed.

Z-Bond 11
Z-Bond 11 can be used instead of wax to prepare parts printed with zp 14 before the
process of investment casting or lost wax. Dipping a 3D-printed part into a hot wax
bath may introduce deformation. Z-Bond 11 reacts at room temperature, to preserve
the geometrical accuracy of the model and lends the pattern significantly more
strength and integrity than wax would.
Note: Paraplast X-TRA can be used after infiltration with Z-Bond 11 to make the
patterns surface smoother.
