The next generation TARUS Claymill

Refined from decades of expertise, the latest generation Claymill is a game changer delivering the best overall performance in the industry for sculpting car models.
 
TARUS took the legendary performance of the Claymill X and delivered it in a more compact form factor, perfect for any design studio environment.
 
With fastest production of Class-A surfaces and nearly silent operation, it maximizes productivity, allows you to produce more car models in the same time, while maintaining a peaceful work environment.
 
Our unique monocoque structure makes for a far more rigid machine than any comparable option. That allows Claymill to handle more power and stronger components which deliver the best surface finish and speed.
 
Better engineering design translates into durability and lower cost of ownership that TARUS Claymills are legendary for.
 
Claymill comes fully-featured including our Siemens SINUMERIK ONE-based TARUS Design Studio Interface and TPI CAM. Our proprietary Claymill interface is continually developed in partnership with design studios and renowned by car modellers worldwide. It means you’ll get an interface developed by people like you.
 
With a full range of solutions and accessories, TARUS can custom engineer solutions to fit seamlessly into the most demanding studio environment.
