News Flash! Tarus has developed a new 6 Axis Portable QuarterScale Model Milling Machine capable of cutting complete 1/4 scale autos as well as full size instrument panels. We have temporarily added to the site a very impressive, but large, video of the prototype in action. We will be providing a newer, more managable, version of the video as well as a brochure shortly. You can view this video here.

Tarus is located near Detroit, which has given Tarus an edge in the development of specialized machines for use in the Automotive Industry Design and Styling Studios. In fact, Tarus built the first Portable Claymilling Machine in 1983 upon the request of General Motors Design. We have continuously refined our machines and our software based on the availability of new technology and customer recommendations.

We have several types of these machines to meet the needs of our customers.

Tooling; To get the most from our machines we provide a wide assortment of tooling. We are looking into allowing our customers to order tooling online. In the meantime, please consult our Tooling pdf. There is an order form included which you can fax to us here at Tarus.
(The tooling pdf is temporarily offline as we are updating pricing information. We apologize for any inconvenience.)

3 Axis MSM; These machines are CMM based scanning and milling machines which are available in portable and larger base rail configurations.

5 Axis Claymill; Large volume, light weight CNC machines capable of simultaneous 5 axis milling of clay and light density foams. Scanning and measuring options are available. We offer both mobile machines and larger fixed machines with self contained rails or large integrated surface plates.

5 Axis Column Mill; A very large machine for milling full sized automobile exterior models from Resin and Foam. This machine is also suitable for machining composites and aluminum fixtures.
