The Open Source DeltaTrix is based on a delta robot, known for it's use in pick and place operations. Due to the light end effector, it can move very fast. All heavy parts such as motors are stationary, as is the part being printed. The frame is self-aligning by design and very easy to assemble. Being very sturdy, the printer does not require frequent calibration. Also, a reduced numbers of components, good cable management and good design practice leads to a machine which looks good in a design office. As materials ABS and PLA have been tested, with the machine accepting coils up to 1kg from any manufacturer. Finally, the use of quality components, such as German made Igus linear slides, ensure durability and a reliable operation. The focus with the printer has been for out right performance, high quality, and pleasing aesthetics, with the cost factor being of secondary importance.
