Versatile 3D Printing Devices

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The FLUX Delta+ Offers a Host of Features

— February 20, 2017 — Tech
The FLUX Delta+ is a 3D printer first, but that description shouldn't detract from the product's multitude of features. The FLUX Delta+, which is FLUX's second 3D printer, is more precise and stable than the company's previous offering, while also including many features not available on the predecessor.

On top of printing, the FLUX Delta+ can conduct laser engraving on both wood and leather products. It also has a function specifically for vinyl cutting, making it easier for consumers to create high quality stickers on their own. Further, the multipurpose device can draw with pen, pencil, or any other writing implement, and it can create 3D scans of any object that can fit on its pedestal.

The FLUX Delta+ source code is open, so developers can also rewrite the machines to any purpose -- the only limit is their creativity.
Trend Themes
1. Versatile 3D Printing - The FLUX Delta+ showcases the trend of 3D printers becoming more versatile with additional features like laser engraving, vinyl cutting, drawing, and 3D scanning.
2. Multipurpose Devices - The FLUX Delta+ exemplifies the trend of multipurpose devices that can handle various tasks beyond their primary function of 3D printing.
3. Open Source Innovation - The FLUX Delta+ embraces the trend of open source technology, allowing developers to redefine the machine's capabilities and explore new applications.
Industry Implications
1. 3D Printing - The increased versatility of 3D printers opens up opportunities for businesses in the 3D printing industry to offer more value-added services like laser engraving, vinyl cutting, and 3D scanning.
2. Arts and Crafts - The FLUX Delta+'s ability to conduct laser engraving, vinyl cutting, and drawing makes it a disruptive innovation in the arts and crafts industry, empowering creators to produce high-quality stickers, personalized engravings, and unique artwork.
3. Technology and Manufacturing - The open source nature of the FLUX Delta+ encourages innovation in the technology and manufacturing industry by allowing developers to customize and optimize the machine's functionality for specific industrial applications, leading to new disruptive opportunities in the market.
