The ZMorph 2.0.S Is the Ultimate Making Machine

3D printers are getting cooler and cooler every day. Resolutions are quickly approaching the point where it’s possible to create very, very detailed surfaces with a minimum of aliasing. Yeah, I’m calling it “aliasing,” since that’s basically what it is and most of you geeks get the reference. What the ZMorph 2.0.S can do, however, is a lot more. That said, the 0.001mm Z-axis resolution is pretty sweet.

The base printer is €1,499 (~$1,870 USD) and with it one can purchase a number of heads. There are the expected ABS/PLA/Nylon/Woodlay/etc. extruders in 3 mm and a sexy 1.75 m; a dual-head extruder for building in two materials at once; a chocolate/cake extruder, which is both delicious and cool; a milling and engraving toolhead (AKA Dremel holder) that turns the device into a CNC machine of sorts; a ceramics extruder, for those who don’t like to get their hands dirty; a laser for precision cutting wood, paper, plastic and the like; and a 5-axis toolhead that enables the device to do precision milling, 3D scanning, or whatever other cool things people come up with.

I would kill to have a moment alone with this thing.
