The Voltera V-One is a [circuit board prototyping printer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scratchboardio) that allows you to "go from concept to creation in minutes." A startup hardware professionals and enthusiasts will love, Voltera prints your circuit boards faster thanks to its [solder paste dispenser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-circuit) and a reflow capability-enhancing 550W heater. By cutting down your development time so drastically, your product can also get to market more efficiently. Instead of making your circuit board at home, Voltera gets you custom circuits months sooner. This also prevents frustrations resulting from conventional fabrication methods. The new venture showcased at CES 2015 and pitched TechCrunch at the show, ultimately winning the $50,000 prize. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Custom Circuit Printing:** The Voltera V-One printer allows for the speedy creation of custom circuits in just minutes. - **Accelerated Development Time:** By reducing development time, Voltera enables products to reach the market more efficiently. - **Disruptive Circuit Board Prototyping:** The Voltera V-One printer disrupts traditional fabrication methods by providing a faster and more convenient way to create custom circuit boards. ### Who This Affects Most - **Electronics Manufacturing:** The custom circuit printing capabilities of Voltera's V-One printer offer exciting innovation opportunities in the electronics manufacturing industry. - **Hardware Startups:** Voltera's V-One printer presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for hardware startups, allowing faster prototyping and product development. - **Semiconductor Industry:** The speedy circuit board printing technology of the Voltera V-One printer has the potential to revolutionize the semiconductor industry by streamlining the prototype creation process. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [At-Home Hobbyist Screen Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makeblock-xtool-screen-printer.md) - [Environmentally Friendly Metal Inks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electroninks.md) - [Crowdfunded 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geetech-thunder.md) - [Ultra-Accurate Resin 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocket-1-resin-3d-printer.md) - [Intelligent Ultra-Fast 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elegoo-fdm-neptune-4.md) - [Professional-Grade Craft Cutting Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cricut-venture.md) - [3D Medicine Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doserx1.md) - [Affordable 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ankermake-m5.md) - [Cutting-Edge 3D-Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapmaker-u1.md)
