TARUS Claymill X

In 1984, TARUS unveiled the 5-axis portable Claymill, the world’s first Claymill. The new TARUS Claymill X represents decades of innovation built on the roots of the original.
 
Ideal for a true multi-purpose role, Claymill X delivers an unparalleled combination of 5-axis milling of clay, foam, and urethane models.
 
Claymill X easily installs where bulkier gantry mills will not, while offering superior performance.
 
With a highly robust column and arm, Claymill X handles more power and stronger components that rapidly create Class-A surface finishes.
 
Our unique monocoque design with advanced aluminum alloy reduces weight while maximizing stability, rigidity and acceleration.
 
Better engineering design translates into durability and lower cost of ownership that TARUS Claymills are legendary for.
 
Claymill X comes equipped with the industry standard Siemens SINUMERIK ONE-based TARUS Design Studio Interface and TPI CAM.
 
Our proprietary TARUS Design Studio Interface and TPI CAM interface is continually developed in partnership with design studios and renowned by car modellers worldwide.
 
With a full range of solutions and accessories, TARUS can engineer solutions to fit seamlessly into the most demanding studio environment.
