The PotterBot V4.5, a large machine which can print vessels up to 36″ (914mm) tall and holds 22 pounds of clay in its reservoir. The extruder is controlled by DC servo motors operating on a closed-loop system. This type of extruder uses direct nozzle extrusion, meaning users do not need to clean hoses or deal with complicated delivery systems or air compressors.<\/p>\n

Deltabots\u2019 new ceramic 3D printer, which can extrude real clay straight from the bag, uses U.S.-made Acme lead screws and components from IGUS, a German company specializing in high-quality bearings, linear guides, and cable carriers. Users have the option of a number of nozzle diameters, all the way up to 16 mm, This gives them near-unlimited design possibilities in terms of size and detail. The 3D printer uses a unique system with a traveling X & Y axis and stationary Z-axis extruder. The X axis, supported by an innovative mechanism at the end of each rail, is able to travel freely on top of any flat surface on which it is positioned.<\/p>\n

The 3D printer uses a top-of-the-range ARM Cortex-M3 processor for high performance and speed, while its compact and portable design means the 3D printer can be shipped overseas with ease.<\/p>\n

The extruder can be driven with any standard 3D printer controller that produces pulse, step, and direction signals. Other useful features of the printer include a touch-screen Control Center and direct USB servo connection.<\/p>\n
