Ever since 3D printing technology has been developed and subsequently improved, several types of 3D printers have rolled out in the market. Frankly, there are more 3D printers out there than what is needed. Not everyone has the use for 3D printers and having choices galore is certainly not the need of the hour. But what if there is a 3D printer that offers everything the typical 3D printer puts forth and then provides something more. That then becomes a different ballgame. Flux does exactly what is expected today, in this age of technological wizardry.

Flux is an all in one 3D printer. Developed by Flux Technology LLC, the printer is being pegged as an unlimited, elegant and simple device that is worth four times or more of its price. The statements being attempted by the company and the team behind the device are certainly encouraging but what the device delivers will determine its fate.

From the perspective of the promise, Flux is a 3D printer of today and tomorrow. It is capable of 3D printing with amazing precision. The device is small and very easy to install which should make setting it up and using it quite convenient for any and sundry. The technology seems to be quite neat and the operation quite nifty. The printer has a modular design which enables it to become a transformer. The Flux can actually be expanded or contracted, as the case may be, and be equipped with several new devices or add-ons to do more than what it does right now. In that sense, Flux is a 3D printer of tomorrow. In its present context, the 3D printer is capable of doing more than what its competitors can deliver.

Flux is capable of 3D printing, 3D scanning and laser engraving. The 3D scanning mechanism of the Flux is so precise that it can actually clone an existing 3D object, whether it is a toy or some showpiece. The laser engraving feature is also amazing. It can use laser to engrave any chosen design on a wide range of materials. The laser engraving mechanism is in adherence to CDRH regulations, hence it is safe. The 3D printer is poised to have several add-on features such as an 8GB SD card, a gyroscope, a writer and Wi-Fi. Should the printer deliver on all its promises and expectations, Flux will be the next big thing in the world of 3D printing.
