DeskArtes today announced a software sales and development agreement between DeskArtes and Z Corporation. The first result of the co-operation is new software that prepares 3D data files for easy full-color 3D printing, automatically and with unprecedented ease.

ZEdit(TM) Pro lets users of 3D mechanical CAD software verify and ensure that geometric data is 3D printable; apply colors, texture maps and labels to their models; and easily print very large prototypes in component pieces. It also transforms files that were never originally intended for 3D printing, including those produced by 3D digital content creation software used in animation and architecture. ZEdit Pro makes these files 3D printing-ready, often with a single click. For more information on ZEdit Pro and sales visit www.zcorp.com.

“The use of 3D is spreading across industries but users are often slowed or even prevented from creating 3D physical models of their work for design reviews, marketing, sales, entertainment, collecting, clinical diagnosis or visualization,” said Roger A Kelesoglu, Z Corporation Director of Customer Development. “With ZEdit Pro these users can easily engage in 3D printing without laboring over files or investing in costly, sophisticated file-fixing software. ZEdit Pro helps make any 3D data printable and powerful, with a minimum of mouse clicks and the ease of a document printer.”

“DeskArtes is proud to be able to help Z Corporation deliver the most efficient and easy to use tools to its customers with ZEdit Pro software,” said Mr. Ismo Mäkelä, Managing Director for DeskArtes. “ZEdit Pro is a result of close co-operation between the two companies and we are prepared to create new and even easier to use tools for 3D file preparation for Z Corporation 3D Printer customers in the future.”
