Tronxy Moore 3 / 3 Pro - Clay/ceramic 3D printer

Liquid Additive Manufacturing (LAM), also known as Liquid Deposition Modeling (LDM) is an additive manufacturing process in which a variety of liquid materials is precisely deposited layer by layer to create highly intricate and detailed three-dimensional object. The Moore 3 and 3 Pro 3D printers by Tronxy were designed specially to 3D print clay and ceramic materials in liquid format, including (but not limited to) clay, ceramics slurry, red porcelain, and other liquid flowing materials.

Moore 3 and 3 Pro

The Moore 3 and 3 Pro printers stand out due to their closed design and fairly compact size (580 x 550 x 717 mm), making them suitable for both professional and personal use in households, design offices, educational institutions, pottery workshops and more. Their family-friendly features ensure safe and easy operation, allowing users of all ages to explore their creativity with confidence. The broad range of compatible materials enables users to experiment with different textures and finishes, expanding the possibilities for artistic expression and functional design.
