ZMorph’s Wine Cork Combines 3D Printing, CNC Milling and Laser Engraving

With this multi-material project, we wanted to show that our machine offers tools for fabricating even the wildest ideas. ZMorph’s Sample Pack presents all of our product’s capabilities in a nutshell.

A few months ago, when ZMorph 2.0 SX Multitool 3D Printer was still in development stage, we already started thinking about utilizing its capabilities and presenting them to the public. At first, we considered various types of 3D prints in different sizes and shapes. But they didn’t transmit the whole idea behind our latest machine.

Our new sample pack had to utilize all three digital fabrication methods offered by ZMorph 2.0 SX – 3D printing, CNC milling, and laser engraving. It became obvious to us, that it needs to be assembled from various objects, that combined together will create an innovative, diverse and functional multi-material product, just like the machine it was made on.

For the cork we used 1.75 NinjaFlex SemiFlex (color: Midnight Black) and printed it on a single 1.75 Plastic Extruder. It fits all types of bottles and keeps them shut, so the wine inside doesn’t lose its savor. Two Star Wars-inspired heads were later manufactured with a DUAL PRO toolhead. The light one combines two 1.75 ABS ZMorph filaments (colors: na1, bk1), which is a rather standard mix in everyday 3D printing. For the dark head, we used 1.75 PLA ZMorph filament (color: bk1) and ColorFabb Glowfill that actually glows in the dark.

With a CNC PRO toolhead, we milled two beech blocks and engraved them with a laser, to create an elegant case. We then closed the case with a flexible strap and a plastic pin 3D printed from 1.75 NinjaFlex SemiFlex (color: Midnight Black) and 1.75 PLA ZMorph filament (color: bk1) with a 1.75 Plastic Extruder.

With ZMorph’s Sample Pack we managed to create a useful multi-material gadget that demonstrates the full range of capabilities of the machine behind it. Soon we’ll release the source files for free!
