2.3 zp 140/zb 60

zp 140 is a High Performance Plus powder system that sets new limits to how easy it is

to print in 3D. It features a new water cure process that makes it easier, faster and more

affordable than ever to get from clicking “Print” to passing a model around at a meeting or in

a classroom. This material produces high-definition 3D parts and is the material of choice for

concept models.

A key advantage of the zp 140 is the water cure option. It has been specially engineered

to allow parts to be post-processed by dipping them in water or spraying a fine mist on the

surface. The reaction with water confers models additional strength and a smooth surface

finish. The surface finish of a part cured with water is less smooth than with CA.

Because this material is so white, color 3D models printed with zp 140 feature extremely

vivid color. This color can be maintained by infiltrating with standard infiltrants like Z-Bond

or Z-Max

. Colored parts printed using the zp 140 should not be infiltrated with water as the

colors will bleed. Refer to the Printers & Materials Compatibility Chart on the advantages of

each powder.

zb 60 binder is formulated to work specifically with both zp 131 and zp 140, making it easier

to swap back and forth, should your application require it.

zp 140 Key Advantages:

Water cure post-processing – easiest and safest option available

Low cost per in

Brightest whites: 180% whiter than zp 130*

Great for concept models

zb 60 Key Advantages:

Better stability

Also compatible with zp 131

Tech Tip

Water misting before soaking

the parts helps preserve your 3D

model’s smallest features.

Architectural models benefit from

using zp 140 infiltrated with water

where true whiteness is desired.
