A. D.:

I have a brochure from Z Corpotation, using the MIT 3D Printing
Technology. You can contact them at:

Z Corporation
35 Medford Street
Suite 213
Somerville, MA 02143 USA
(1+) 617.628.2781
(1+) 617.628.2879 (FAX)

The Z402 system sells for $50K (US) plus $3K for software. I have a
brochure, but have not contacted them for additional info about
materials, etc.
The brochure says :
Work envelope is 8 x 10 x 8.5 (z) inches.
Layer thicknesses .005-.009 inches.
Machine overall measures 27 x 36 x 42 (high) inches.

I'm unsure about materials, but it does not appear the initial machine is
using metal powders.

That's all I know.
