Versatile multi-tool desktop 3D printer offers plastic extrusion, CNC milling and laser engraving

RS Components has introduced a new desktop multi-tool 3D printer providing three different fabrication methods: an FFF 3D printer; a CNC router; and a laser cutter and engraver. The ZMorph VX provides professional print quality, reliability and a choice of dozens of fabrication materials to engineers, designers, artists and educators undertaking one-off projects, prototyping or mass production. The printer is offered either as a basic 3D printing set, upgradable at any time with added interchangeable tool heads for extrusion, CNC milling and laser engraving or as a full set including all tool heads and accessories. The main printer unit features a thick aluminium body with fully enclosed electronics, a flat borosilicate 3D print worktable, a reinforced x-axis carriage and an LCD touchscreen. A fully automatic calibration system provides unprecedented ease of use. “The ZMorph is an ideal product for the workbench, as it provides multiple tools to enable design engineers to bring their visions to life,” said Alison Hutchings, global portfolio manager at RS. “It’s both practical and versatile, with interchangeable heads and a wealth of materials that will provide our customers with a cost-effective multi-tool solution.”
