With 10-inches-per-second print speed, industry-leading throughput, rugged reliability, and a wide selection of options, these full-sized metal printers enhance productivity in tough environments and demanding applications. Better Connected for a Connected World The new Z Series printers better connect with most warehouse/ manufacturing and business applications.
