caption_attribution_description: English: A large delta-style 3D printer by SeeMeCNC capable of printing an object with up to 4 feet in diameter and 10 feet in height.
context_page_description: A delta robot is a type of parallel robot that consists of three arms connected to universal joints at the base. The key design feature is the use of parallelograms in the arms, which maintains the orientation of the end effector, by contrast to Stewart platform that can change the orientation of its end effector.
  Delta robots have popular usage in picking and packaging in factories because they can be quite fast, some executing up to 300 picks per minute.
context_section_description: Industries that take advantage of the high speed of delta robots are the packaging industry, medical and pharmaceutical industry. For its stiffness it is also used for surgery. Other applications include high precision assembly operations in a clean room for electronic components.
  The structure of a delta robot can also be used to create haptic controllers. More recently, the technology has been adapted to 3D printers. These printers are faster and can be built for about 200 dollars and compete well with traditional Cartesian printers.
