Surface plates, lift tables, and rotary tables are available across the line. Every Claymill installation can be custom-specified to the studio it’s going into.
SURFACE PLATES
Custom cast iron and steel studio floor plates, precision ground with drilled and threaded holes for model armature pylons.
LIFT TABLES
Fully electro-mechanical. No compressed air or hydraulic oil. Lifts or rotates a model in under 5 minutes, with redundant safety braking.
ROTARY TABLES
Index or continuously rotate the model under the head for full 360°access.
How it moves, what it does, how it fits your floor, and what runs it.
PERFORMANCE
How it moves
The mechanics behind why the surface comes out clean and the room stays quiet.
Rack-and-pinion drive with dual servo motors holds zero backlash — nothing drifts between passes.
A nearly silent, liquid-cooled spindle keeps the room usable during a live review.
The monocoque aluminum column and arm are lighter and stiffer, so speed doesn’t show up as chatter.
The fork-style milling head blends adjacent surface passes into one continuous patch — no visible seam to sand out.
An optional wireless controller lets a modeler walk the model instead of standing at a panel.
FUNCTION
What it’s built to do
Purpose-built for in-studio milling — nothing borrowed from a factory floor.
Built specifically for in-studio milling — full-featured, with no factory-floor compromises.
The most compact high-performance fork-style head in its class, with full 5-axis capability.
3- and 5-axis CNC milling and measuring, so the same machine mills the buck and checks it against the CAD.
Works in clay and foam, matched to how design studios actually model.

CNC & SOFTWARE
What runs it
An industrial-grade engine underneath, and a studio-built interface on top — you’ll only ever touch the second one.
Siemens SINUMERIK ONE control — the same industrial-grade platform used across the machine tool industry, chosen for long-term reliability, not built in-house for you to learn.
You’ll never touch SINUMERIK directly. What a modeler uses every day is the TARUS Design Studio Interface and TPI CAM running on top of it.
That interface is developed continually with design studios and modelers — built by watching people work.
Wireless probing handles model alignment and measurement without a modeler manually indicating points.
From leading automottive studios to independent design senters, Claymills are trusted by designers around the world to bring full scale concepts to life.
