User Interface (WiFi)

Duet Web Control: A fully developed UI for the Scara, accessible via a web browser on any WiFi-capable device (laptop, tablet, phone, etc.).

Capabilities

The Scara Medium can perform large-scale ceramic 3D printing using real clay. Its advanced design supports substantial onboard loads, such as the Futex 3600ml clay extruder or a hose assembly.

Software Requirements

None! Only a web browser interface is required.

Object Generation

The Scara Medium functions like other 3D printers, requiring an STL file to be sliced by third-party software (Simplify3D or Cura). Files are loaded to the printer's SD card over WiFi.

Speed and Noise

The Scara Medium can achieve extreme speeds (up to 130 mm/s), depending on factors like nozzle size and layer height. It operates quietly, suitable for any area without disturbing the surroundings.

Construction and Design

Constructed from heavy aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum with CNC and welded components, ensuring strength and rigidity. The drive motors are sophisticated hybrid closed-loop stepper motors for zero error positioning.

Drive Mechanisms

Utilizes heavy-duty harmonic drive units, the same used in large industrial robots, for precision movement with no backlash or jittery movements at realistic speeds.

Space Needed for Setup

The Scara Medium can be positioned on a substantial tabletop or its own dedicated space. It requires direct mounting for maximum stability, with a minimum of 1.5" thick heavy plywood or wood construction for tabletops.
