Technology & Products
Key Products
Delta Tower Fluid ST (single-tool fluid printer); Delta Tower Fluid MT (multi-tool fluid printer with up to 6 tools); Delta Tower RTA series (FDM printers, e.g., RTA 420, Big RTA 900); Custom scalable printers (up to 2m diameter, 6m height)
Technological Advantage
Proprietary fluid deposition technology handles viscosities up to 600,000 mPa·s (e.g., LSR, ceramics), with 99.7% precision claimed from Swiss manufacturing, enabling niche applications in silicone and composite printing.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables additive manufacturing of complex, high-viscosity materials (up to 600,000 mPa·s) with reverse extrusion to prevent oozing, reducing waste and improving part quality for applications like silicone molding, ceramic parts, and functional prototypes.
How They Differentiate
3x larger build volume than standard FDM printers (up to 580mm height vs. 200-300mm for competitors); unique fluid/paste printing capability vs. FDM-only rivals; Swiss precision with 0.1mm layer resolution vs. 0.2-0.3mm for budget large-format printers.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Industrial manufacturers, R&D labs, and prototyping facilities requiring high-precision, large-format, or multi-material fluid/paste 3D printing.
Industry Verticals
Industrial Manufacturing; Research & Development; Prototyping; Medical (e.g., silicone devices); Automotive; Aerospace
Competitors
BigRep (large-format FDM); AON3D (high-temp polymer FDM); Carbon (Digital Light Synthesis for resins); Stratasys (PolyJet for multi-material)
Growth & Milestones
Growth Metrics
Printers are designed for continuous operation with 0.02 mm precision over 130 cm build volumes, using premium components for minimal maintenance and no per-job calibration; models include Delta Tower Big RTA variants with print beds up to 900 mm, heights up to 900 mm, and speeds of 150 g/hr
Major Milestones
Launch of Delta Tower 3D printer (2013-2014); Introduction of Fluid ST/MT series for high-viscosity materials; Custom printer projects up to 6m height
