ZMorph 2.0 SX 3D Printer in Ngatpang

Description:

The ZMorph is a multitool FDM 3D printer with CNC milling and lazer engraving capabilities.This allows users to use over 30 types of materials from 3D printing classics like ABS, PLA, HIPS, to materials a typical 3D printer can’t handle: wood, machining wax. PVC foil, EVA foam and more.

The design of the ZMorph 2.0 SX is truly spectacular. The aesthetic is both retro-futuristic and industrial, and many of the surface components are clearly 3D printed. We’re not aware if ZMorph has any kind of association with the open source RepRap movement, but it’s a stylish and functional tribute to the concept of a self-replicating machine.

The frame of the printer is a triangle made from Aluminum, which is enclosed with injection moulded clear plastic on magnetic hinges. But perhaps the best feature is at its heart; it’s built for multi-functional use thanks to modular, swappable components. Again with magnets, each toolhead is guided into place, and power is provided by plugging or unplugging the relevant cables.
