Desktop 3D printer manufacturerZmorphhas announced the launch of its latest all-in-one system – the Zmorph Fab.
The announcement comes amid a major rebranding from the Polish manufacturer, one that aims to shift the company more towards the professional (and industrial) markets in line with Zmorph’s maturation as a brand. Behind the scenes, the changes are backed by substance too, as the company recently established several distributor partnerships, acquired the HBOT 3D brand, and closed a $1.3M financing round in early 2020. As an added bonus, Zmorph has also unveiled plans to launch a whole new industrial printer, the i500, in Q1 2021, and more on the horizon.
Bartosz Lanc, CMO of Zmorph, states: “It’s the single most important moment for the Zmorph brand since its founding back in 2012. We evolved from a dynamic startup into a reliable brand and partner for professionals in over 120 countries. The rebranding will enable Zmorph to further expand into the global market, accomplish global growth objectives and to strengthen the professional image.”
Referring to the collaborative synergy with HBOT’s R&D department, Zmorph CEO Maciej Nawrocki adds: “We are now working on a product which addresses professional expectations in terms of reliability, repeatability, and reproducibility, as well as serviceability. This will be an offer where we deliver a full ecosystem.”
The Zmorph Fab
Zmorph Fab声称是易于使用的多合一台式机3D打印机，主要基于该公司以前发布的Zmorph VXwith a plethora of upgrades. As such, its key selling point is the interchangeable tool head assembly, which enables FDM 3D printing, CNC machining, laser engraving, and laser cutting – all on the same machine.
新的单挤出机工具头是系统的3D打印方面，能够最大喷嘴温度为250°C。它装有一套旨在暂停和恢复印刷品的细丝跳动传感器，还具有重新设计的冷却系统，该冷却系统包装了带有改进气流的新冷却风扇。
Zmorph has also updated the machine’s CNC capabilities, and offers a new CNC worktable purpose-built for easy and stable material mounting. Using the CNC tool, users can machine down wood blocks, polymer blocks, and 3D printed parts for tight tolerances and higher quality surface finishes. The Fab is able to automatically detect which tool is currently in use via its SMART Toolheads System, and tool changing is now quicker than ever.
Safety and slicer upgrades
The machine itself features a build volume of 250 x 235 x 165mm, and is fully enclosed. To improve its safety during indoor operation, the company has equipped the Fab with a HEPA/Carbon filtration system, ensuring the fumes and particles emitted during printing and laser engraving are nothing to be concerned about.
As the cherry on top, Zmorph has also updated its proprietary slicer, Voxelizer, to better accommodate users’ multi-tool workflows. The company has developed a number of new 3D printing presets that have been adjusted to enable faster printing without the loss of part quality. Furthermore, the software now provides STEP operations, allows users to change milling bits mid-CNC process, and features path visualization functionality.
Eliza Wróbel, Product Manager at Zmorph, adds: “Zmorph Fab is made to be easy-to-use and reliable right out of the box. The latter is crucial for a product that operates three different workflows and is meant to work 24/7. The new Zmorph Fab’s features are based on customers’ and business partners’ feedback, making it the most advanced yet easy-to-use all-in-one 3D printer on the market. With new features like the HEPA/Fumes Filter, the Zmorph Fab is a great addition to modern classrooms, FabLabs, workshops, and design labs.”
