3D Printing

One of the best ways to make your 3D models come to life is through the use of 3D printing technology. Our 3D printer, a ZCorporation “ZPrinter”, quickly and easily creates models in the colors and scale you desire.

3D-Printing Service for Historic Models

Our different 3D printers allow the production of 3D objects in different sizes, materials and accuracies. The layer resolution from 0.1 mm up to 0.014mm, full color and multi-component allows very fine and accurate models. The installation space is limited in size, but models can also be easily assembled from several 3D prints. In combination with CNC milling models, this enables us to create entire castles and landscape models. Due to the 24-bit printable colour depth, photorealistic models of buildings, statues and monuments are quite easily produced, however, the process is also perfectly suited for your rapid prototyping needs.

3D printing is particularly suitable for:

architecture planning and design
models for museums and exhibitions
medical and scientific applications
mould construction and prototype creation
or simply as a gift for any occasion

Have a look at the models in our gallery and see for yourself. We will be happy to make you an offer which fits your ideas.

3D surveying and reproduction of 3 hooves from a Roman imperial statue. Original from bronze, copy from the 3D printer with colour reproduction. Commissioned by: City of Kempten, Cultural Office – Archaeology

From left to right:

reproductions of medieval pewter rings: originals were scanned at high-resolution, the subsequent 3D models were printed and hand-painted.
