Cerberus is a delta robot 3D printer, built in 2012 by Grabercars in Scottsdale, USA, derived from the Rostock prototype.
It is named after Cerberus [1], who in Greek mythology is the 3-headed hound that guards the gates of the underworld. Each of the 3 heads is said to see the past, present and future.
