The FLUX All-in-One 3D printer/scanner/laser engraver started its Kickstarter campaign last month and it has raised a mind-blowing $1,641,075, blasting past its initial $100,000 goal, backed by 2,707 backers.
The FLUX is an All-in-One 3D printer/scanner/laser engraver and thanks to its modular functions there is also a great room for further expansion.
The device will allow users to create, share and download designs directly from their mobile devices and connect to the printer via Bluetooth for more convenient operation.
Flux creators say:
the right choice for everyone…
Unlimited, elegant, and simple — FLUX is the right choice for everyone because it is simple to set up, elegantly designed, and has an unlimited capacity for expansion. In addition to the basic FFF (fused filament fabrication) 3D printing, FLUX is equipped with a built-in 3D scanner and supports an ever-increasing array of interchangeable modules. FLUX is the everything 3D printer that grows with you— meeting not only your 3D printing needs today, but also of all your tomorrows.
