ZORTRAX M200
3D printing is a technology for industry and design.
Using 3D printer in technical and design studios
lowers the costs of prototyping.
The integration of key elements of the printer -
dedicated Z-Suite® software and composition of
the Z-Filaments™ let us create new 3D printing
technology – Layer Plastic Deposition (LPD™). With
LPD™ technology you can create precisely projected
model. Precise layered process of the lament
application makes printed elements suitable for
prototyping models in molding technology.

PRINTING MATERIALS OVERVIEW
For Zortrax M200® we use high quality thermoplastic material –
laments. All our materials have carefully selected composition and
properties. We advise you to print with dedicated laments only.
Only Z-Filaments™ guarantee safe and high quality prints.
USING OTHER FILAMENTS THAT DEDICATED
Unlike inkjet printers, printing materials for 3D printers need to be
prepared strictly for a particular model of the machine. Filaments
from all manufacturers have dierent physical and chemical
properties, even at similar terminology.
Using laments from dierent manufacturers you risk printing
problems and extruder clogging – even if you use high quality
laments. Zortrax M200® is adjusted to work with Z-Filaments™
only. Only Z-Filaments™ guarantee safely and trouble-free operation
of your printer. Using laments from other store, than Zortrax
Store, you automatically loose Z-Care 1-st Year Service Program™.
To buy dedicated laments please go to www.zortrax.com/store
