A crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.com for a foldable 3D printer that can print a variety of materials has been launched by the Maastricht start up, By Flow. Offered with a wide range of easily exchangeable extruders, the Focus can print with standard materials, including as PLA, ABS, wood and nylon, but also with bio-rubber, bronze, ceramics and silicon. The printer can also print edible materials, such as chocolate.

The device’s foldable design allows it to be transported easily and safely. Equipped with a stationary print-bed, the 3D printer does not require calibration. The Focus is a plug-and-play solution that simply requires SD-card or USB cable to start printing.

The crowdfunding campaign, which started on 20th May, has been launched to kickstart the production of the Focus and to fund further development in 3D printing. By Flow wants to test new extruders as well as new materials and functions. Those who support the campaign in its early stages will have the opportunity to pre-order the 3D printer at a reduced price.
