The three most popular non-electronic forms of making<\/a> are 3D printing<\/a>, CNC routing<\/a>, and laser engraving<\/a>. It’s common enough to own or have access to at least one of those machine types, or maybe even two, to make such activities possible, but rare to have unrestricted access to all three. Amazingly, the ZMorph 2.0 SX Multitool 3D Printer<\/a><\/strong>, thanks to its easily interchangeable toolheads and included software, delivers all three functions in a single desktop unit.<\/p>\n

Starting in September, I’ll be presenting an unboxing of the Z-Morph 2.0 SX<\/strong>, as well as releasing articles related to its functionality on both Armchair Arcade<\/strong> and TechRadar<\/a><\/strong>. In the mean-time, what follows\u00a0is some key marketing information about this impressive machine.<\/p>\n

The ZMorph 2.0 SX<\/h2>\n
\"A<\/a>

A clever design.<\/p><\/div>\n

ZMorph 2.0 SX<\/strong> features a new and faster worktable switching system that complements ZMorph<\/strong>‘s well known, interchangeable toolhead system. The new worktables simply click-in, using a magnet mounting system. Going from 3D printing to CNC and laser has never been easier.<\/p>\n

The multitool 3D printer allows you to use over 30 types of materials, from 3D printing classics like ABS, PLA, and HIPS, to materials a typical 3D printer can\u2019t handle like wood and machining wax, as well as PVC foil, EVA foam, and more. You can mix, combine, and experiment with any\u00a0of them, and above all, you can use the perfect material for your project, not just plastic.<\/p>\n

ZMorph 2.0 SX<\/strong> features an expansion slot on the X carriage with a magnet mounting system. This unique concept allows connecting add-ons for special jobs in no-time. So if you need more cooling power, you just click in an additional fan. Simple.<\/p>\n

The Toolheads<\/h2>\n
\"Toolheads<\/a>

Toolheads make switching between distinct functions straightforward.<\/p><\/div>\n

All ZMorph<\/strong> toolheads use the same connection system and need only a few quick steps to be replaced. It’s like using a power tool with interchangeable heads — one machine with several different functions. The current selection of toolheads are:<\/p>\n
