The most versatile digital sculpting tool for ceramists, researchers and educators. Designed for potters and currently regarded as THE 3d Clay Printer for Professionals.
The LUTUM® clay printer is designed with the user in mind. It is a sustainable, easy to maintain piece of machinery developed to last a long time. It is made from 4mm thick steel plating, high grade aluminium extrusion and stainless steel components. We tried to use a minimum of plastic parts to make the machine as environmentally friendly as possible. We believe in longevity, easy repairs with standard parts and compatibility with future upgrades to keep all our equipment up to date. The result is a machine that is loved by many and used in a wide variety of environments.

The 4M 3dprinter was developed in 2021 to meet the requirements of the innovative Clay enthousiast and a great asset to a potters studio.
The standard system has the minimum requirements while keeping our valued print quality intact. The result is a form factor with a big enough print volume for the average user while incorporating our efficient eco extruder bundle for demanding extrusion capabilities. It has a set of upgrade possibilities that can be added (in a later stage) if more power, speed or workflow integration is needed.
because of its popularity it is the only machine we have in stock for immediate dispatch.
The 5M 3dceramicsprinter is the little brother of the high end LUTUM® 5. It has all the great features of the large printer but in a smaller form factor and a maximum use of 1 extruder. It is the reliable pottery production unit but also the perfect tool within a laboratory environment

When it comes to 3d printing of Clay, yes, for us it is more than just creating intricate or bold objects. Clay is available everywhere and can easily be re-used so there is no waste. And the print files can instantly be shared worldwide so we look forward to the day people from various countries will combine their ideas.

The LUTUM® 3d clay printer was not conceived for commercial production. It was developed as a solution for us to print with clay. A clean and friendly material. We have no background in ceramics, nor did we know much about 3d printing. But through persistent research into the various challenges we encountered we were able to design a reliable and easy to use machine. After several requests we realized we would never have enough time to utilize the endless possibilities and decided to provide it to ceramists. As a result we now serve potters, universities and research centers around the world!
In this section we try to provide solutions for the most common questions you might have when you start using our equipment.
We do not provide proprietary software solutions with our printers, there are many (free) software packages that can interact with 3d printers. The same can be said for 3d drawing or CAD software. However, to quickly start we offer some background on basic slicing principles which are covered here:SOFTWARE
There are many Clay types available, while they all have their own specific formulas, most will work with our printer. Some background on common issues:CLAY
You need assistance about a mechanical question:MECHANICAL
