Zortrax Z-ESD

Z-ESD is a material which perfectly fits the needs of the industrial sector, especially the electrical and electronics industries. It is durable, warpage resistant, and provides protection against electrostatic discharge which can be particularly damaging to electronic equipment. This unique property can significantly help to reduce the loss of electronic components and generate savings. Z-ESD allows you to print functional objects, elements and casings containing highly sensitive electronics, and tools used for control processes.

Features & Benefits

Features
  • BUS PIRATE

Casing for the bus pirate installed on a circuit board. The electrostatic sensitive device is protected by the casing 3D printed with Z-ESD material reducing the risk of damage.

  • Electrostatic discharge protection

Z-ESD material maintains surface resistivity in a wide range from 10^6 to 10^9 Ω/sq. The 3D printed casings and tools allow you to protect delicate components against electrostatic discharges.

  • Industrial grade

Very low shrinkage of Z-ESD guarantees accuracy and reliability of every print. 3D print precise end-use parts to cut costs and lead times.

  • Chemical resistance

Use Z-ESD to 3D print parts meant for work in adverse environments. You can expose the 3D printed objects to most acids, alcohols, and weak alkalies with no risk of deformation or damage.
