Zortrax Z-GLASS
Z-GLASS is a material with unparalleled properties that will allow you to successfully replace brittle glass elements in your functional prototypes and show what is within them. Its low shrinkage level makes it possible to 3D print defect-free models which will be durable and scratchproof, including automotive and electronics objects. With Z-GLASS, you can create light-transmitting objects that will remain unaffected by heavy exposure to light (high UV resistance) or most acids and alcohols, and weak alkalies. All these advantages make this material ideal not only for industrial sector but also for creating interior design elements.

- Features
WORKSHOP LAMP.; Transparent parts of the lamp 3D printed with two colors of Z-GLASS. The material is a perfect replacement for brittle glass.; Light-transmitting; Objects 3D printed with Z-GLASS are semi-transparent. That's why they can imitate glass. You can apply various coating substances to enhance the effect and make them even glossier.; End-use products; Z-GLASS is perfect for end-use products, like a camera light diffuser, 3D printed at the fraction of the market price. Translucency of the models can be adjusted by changing settings in Z-SUITE.; Scratch-free; Z-GLASS material is scratch-resistant, making the 3D printed models usable over a long period of time. Combined with chemical resistance, the filament is ideal for prototyping and industrial tooling.
