Overview
The 3D PotterBot SCARA V4 is a robotic-arm ceramic 3D printer engineered for oversized clay builds, architectural elements, and large-format ceramic art. Unlike traditional gantry printers, the SCARA V4 uses a 4th-generation robotic arm system, offering unmatched build height, reach, and flexibility.
Designed for professionals, universities, and research labs, the SCARA V4 is capable of printing massive ceramic structures with 10 lb clay cartridges and direct extrusion technology. Its industrial-grade motion control and high-strength aluminum frame deliver stability and precision even on very tall builds.
