CERA-1

CERA-1, the Clay-Extruding Robotic Assistant Created by Bryan Cera, 2020

The CERA-1 is a mechanical paste extruder and 3D printer framework developed for 3D printing in clay. It was designed as a modification to existing 3D printer or CNC frameworks.

In partnership with Amaco/Brent and Duet3D, CERA-1 is being redesigned, documented and published as an open-source hardware project. This repository will be home to CERA-1 CAD models, schematics, software and instructions. An earlier prototype is available at thingiverse.com, as well as at openprojects.bryancera.com.

CERA-1 systems have been utilized world-wide by artists, designers and researchers in tandem with research in contemporary craft, digital fabrication and architecture.

The following is a tentative schedule for releases for this project:

March, 2020: [CERA-1 Clay Extruder] - CAD files, bill of materials, assembly instructions

April, 2020: [CERA-1 Clay Extruder] - instructions for extruder use and mainatanance

May, 2020: [CERA-1 Electronics] - instructions for configuring a Duet 2 Wifi for use with the CERA-1

June, 2020: [CERA-1 Printer Framework] - CAD files, bill of materials, assembly instructions

July, 2020: [CERA-1 Printer Framework] - instructions for printer framework use and mainatanance
