Zmorph introduces its industrial-grade i500 3D Printer, designed for low-volume production, custom tooling and rapid prototyping.
Since its founding as a startup in 2012, Zmorph has made a strong presence in the world of 3D printing with its multifunctional desktop 3D printers that combine additive manufacturing, CNC milling, laser engraving and more. After a recent rebranding and refocus, the company is ready to take on new industries with its industrial-grade Zmorph i500.
“With the Zmorph i500, we are ready to compete with professional segment market leaders,” said Marek Kłos, Zmorph vice president. “The i500 is an easy to operate and maintain, modern, large-format 3D printer, that was designed to fulfill the needs of even the most demanding users from the industry. The i500 was carefully developed with valuable feedback from our customers and distributor network.”
The new printer offers a cost-effective solution—with a base price of $7,499—for low-volume production, rapid prototyping and custom tooling. Designed for large volume printing, the i500 provides the reliability and durability needed for industries such as automotive, military, aerospace and production. It has a printing volume of 500 x 460 x 300 mm, allowing for the printing of multiple parts simultaneously or larger models. This easy-to-use printer allows for maximization of productivity.
“It’s built like a tank, hassle-free, innovative ‘hammer’ of a 3D printing world, made for effectiveness and 24/7 operation,” said Kłos. “All that within a very competitive price tag.”
An innovative and ergonomic touch panel allows operators to easily start a project and focus on other tasks. Fitted with numerous sensors, material obstacles or issues are quickly detected. They also ensure repeatable, quality results that are necessary in production environments.
Along with its ease of use, the printer is also easier and faster to service, and it incorporates safety features. An electric door lock prevents access while the printer is in operation, and the AirFlow System filters fumes and particles from the machine. It also has a removable Wi-Fi module, making it a suitable industrial option without requiring customers to incorporate additional safety measures.
Along with all the added features, the heart of the system is all about optimizing 3D printing solutions. It has a dual drive extruder with a nozzle lifting system that is connected to sensors to deliver the repeatable results needed. With its price and capabilities, the i500 may be an ideal solution for facilities looking to save money and maximize throughput.
