There are many kinds of FDM 3D printers, with the Cartesian style being the most recognized. These move the printhead along the X-, Y-, and Z-axes, and offer the widest variety in the consumer market. However, there are other ways to control a printer’s extruder movement, which is the case for delta 3D printers.

Delta printers are so named because they move using a triangular system of coordinates. With three arms separated at equal angles from each other, a delta printer’s extruder head is suspended in mid-air. These arms move up and down, extending and retracting, to control the extruder’s position: All arms work together to achieve a single movement. This means delta printers need different programming to translate XYZ coordinates into their triangular movement to extrude each layer.
