Symmetry Solutions Adds 3D Printing to its Technology Offerings

Symmetry Solutions, a local value-added reseller (VAR) of SolidWorks® technology solutions, announced it has become an official vendor of Z Corporation® 3D printers and scanners.

Z Corporation is a manufacturer of 3D high-definition printing and scanning hardware, which produce full color physical prototypes from digital data. Symmetry Solutions believes 3D printing technology is a new essential for clients seeking the best in design capabilities at an affordable price.

“We picked up Z Corporation products to better serve our customers’ design engineering needs,” explains Symmetry Solutions vice president of sales, Paul Rudin. “These rapid prototyping tools are easy-to-use and relatively inexpensive. And you can make a physical prototype out of a SolidWorks 3D model very quickly, to easily test or validate design form, fit or function.”

Rudin cites several reasons for choosing Z Corporation’s technology over other brands on the market: 1) it is the only 3D printing technology with full color capabilities; 2) the material used contains no hazardous materials, making them more appropriate for use in office or studio environments; and 3) the relatively inexpensive price point.

“With their focus on and expertise with the entire product development process, we are extremely excited to have Symmetry Solutions on board as a VAR,” says Andy DeHart, vice president of sales from Z Corporation. “They bring a turn key solution that delivers a fast ROI and the highest level of value to Z Corporation customers.”

Symmetry Solutions has also signed on as a reseller of GeoMagic 3D software, which is sold as a companion to Z Corporation 3D scanning technology. Rudin reports that Symmetry Solutions intends to incorporate these new products into the technical support and training programs for its Midwestern customer base.
