About Voltera

Voltera is a rapidly scaling technology company that has been driving change in the additive electronics industry since 2013. Our tools help the world's most innovative minds solve previously unsolvable problems. Our customers, across the board, are changing the way we think about electronics and its applications.

Our flagship product, the V-One, is a multi-functional desktop PCB printer that was designed for rapid prototyping and education in traditional, rigid electronics.

Our newest product, NOVA, is the world's first direct-write printer for soft, flexible, and stretchable electronics. It's designed to push the limits of what's possible, bridging the gap between what we can do and what we wish we could do with electronics.
