Dear List,
3D printer, Z402, from Z-corporation, can print the models with maximum
build volume of 200mm by 250mm by 200 mm (compared to 250mm by 250 mm by
250 mm of SLA 2500 from 3D systems). I have made one RP part by Z-corp
(Z402 printer), the building time is 2.16 hrs, compared to 7-8 hrs by
SLA 2500; and the quality of the RP part is quite good. Related to the
accuracy, Z-printers specify a .05 percent inaccuracy in the x and y
axis, and a 1 percent inaccuracy in the
z axis; and only two different powders can be used for Z402 printers.
However, the cost of SLA 2500s is almost 3 times more expensive than
Z402 printers, so what is your opinion about Z-402 printers. If you have
to buy RP machines, between Z-402 and SLA2500, which one are you going
to buy ?. I also would like to know the opinion of the Z-corp's users
about Z-402 printers.
Many thanks and regards,
Le Chi Hieu
