About Voltera

Voltera empowers educators, researchers, and engineers asking questions about, and building, the technologies of tomorrow — by giving them the tools they need to design, test, develop, and ship products faster than ever before.

Our flagship product, the Voltera V-One, is a desktop circuit board factory that allows educators to introduce the world of printable electronics to young minds, researchers to answer new and old questions, and electronics engineers to cut their prototype time from months to minutes. We’re consistently among the top growing companies in Canada and our machines are used by 2000+ electronics educators, researchers and developers in over 60 countries around the world.

We will soon be releasing a product that will, for the first time, allow for the design of electronics that are flexible, stretchable, biocompatible and much, much more. We’re just getting started, and we’re excited.

As we ramp up bringing new products to market and dreaming newer ones into being, we need all hands on deck. Are you ready to be part of the Voltera revolution?
