FEA and Altair ProductDesign Plays Key Role in Development of Xerox’s ColorQube Multifunction Printers
Using Xerox’s solid ink technology, the ColorQube series of high-speed multifunction printers lowers the environmental impact and cost of color printing. The cartridge-free ink sticks generate 90% less waste in supplies and enable pricing plans that cut the cost of color pages by up to 62% compared to traditional color lasers, without compromising print quality.Xerox physically tested the printer’s individual subsystems and systems, providing Altair with the data necessary to ensure high fidelity between the analytical model and the physical prototype. This information allowed the Xerox development team to confidently use an analytical model to drive the design development. Altair ...
