ZIKNES UNVEILS COMPACT 3D PRINTER TAILORED FOR EDUCATIONAL SPACES WITH LIMITED ROOM

Valencia-based startup Ziknes has launched the Z-Pellet Kompact, a large-format 3D printer specifically developed for educational environments and innovation spaces that face spatial constraints and lack prior technical experience. This new system aims to simplify the adoption of additive manufacturing in classrooms, universities, and small workshops without compromising on quality or performance.

Derived from the company’s established Z-Pellet One model, the Z-Pellet Kompact offers a compact and optimized version that retains advanced capabilities. The printer can produce parts up to one cubic meter in volume, using either technical or recycled materials, making it particularly suitable for educational projects, functional prototyping, and applied research.

The system includes plug-and-play functionality, allowing for easy installation and use without requiring prior expertise in 3D printing or robotics. This makes it especially appealing for institutions seeking to implement additive manufacturing technologies without technical or logistical barriers.

Designed to seamlessly integrate into the daily routines of classrooms and laboratories, the Z-Pellet Kompact enables students, educators, and researchers to work with real-world tools aligned with industry practices. Its compact structure is ideal for limited spaces, yet it supports large-format printing with advanced materials.

With this new addition to its portfolio, Ziknes strengthens its commitment to technical education and the democratization of large-format 3D printing, enabling broader access to advanced manufacturing tools in environments that traditionally lacked the infrastructure or expertise to support them.
