What kinds of applications are supported by rapid prototyping from Ionic Models?
Ionic Models applies leading-edge technology to service a broad range of applications, including:

How quickly will my project be completed?
Utilizing sophisticated 3D printing technology, Ionic Models creates physical study models and prototypes in a fast, cost-effective manner. What used to take weeks to manufacture can now be produced by Ionic Models in a matter of days.

How much will my project cost?
Scale models created through rapid prototyping from Ionic Models are about 80% less expensive than models created by hand. What’s more, Ionic Models provides complete turnkey service to ensure high-quality results at competitive industry rates.

How does the Z-310 printer work?
Fast and versatile, the Z-310 printer from Z Corp employs a base material of fine plaster powder with a non-toxic binder. Following the initial production stage, your model will be finished by hand to remove excess support powder. The final step in the process involves infiltration with CA (Cyanoacrylate) glue, which ensures the strength and durability of your model.

What kind of data files are supported by 3D printing?
Ionic Models can work with a wide range of data files, including:

What standards are supported?
Ionic Models supports the following standards: ANSI, ISO, JIS, BSI, DIN, GOST, GB

How big is the build area for the Z-310 printer?
With the Z-310 printer from Z Corp, your prototype can be as large as 8” x 10” x 8” (203 x 254 x 203mm).

How thick is each layer created by the Z-310 printer?
With the Z-310 printer from Z Corp, each layer of your model will have a selectable thickness between .003”-.010” (.076-.254mm).

Does 3D printing allow me to choose my model color?
Yes, rapid prototyping from Ionic Models allows you to choose the color of your model. All primary and secondary colors are available, giving you the opportunity to produce a custom scale model in any shade you select.

What if my model requires moving parts?
Giving you the power to see your design in action, scale models created through rapid prototyping from Ionic Models can be made to function with moving parts.

Will my design plans be kept secure and confidential?
Ionic Models ensures complete confidentiality and operates under stringent guidelines to protect your intellectual property. When requested, Ionic Models is happy to sign non-disclosure agreements to further protect your design plans and company information.

How can I prepare my files for rapid prototyping?
To obtain unsurpassed results in the deadline-driven and cost-efficient commercial environment, Ionic Models asks that you follow the Architecture Design Guide: Printing 3D Architectural Models to prepare your files for rapid prototyping. To download and review the guide now, click here.

What if I don’t have a digital 3D model?
Ionic Models can create your scale model through rapid prototyping even without a digital 3D model. Whether you have a 2D CAD file, a .jpg image or a hand-drawn sketch, Ionic Models can translate your design plans into a high-quality scale model.
