Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Lomazzo, Italy, with a North American headquarters and production center in the Austin, Texas area, Caracol develops turnkey robotic platforms, materials and on-demand manufacturing services that enable production of large parts beyond the size, geometry and material limits of conventional 3D printing. Its flagship Heron AM is a modular, turnkey platform built on a 6+ axis robotic arm that uses additive extrusion to fabricate large-scale polymeric and composite parts, while Vipra AM is a robotic direct energy deposition (DED) platform for producing large-scale industrial metal parts. Caracol pairs its hardware with a portfolio of qualified industrial-grade polymer, composite and metal materials validated for reliable, repeatable production, and offers technology integration, process development and global on-demand manufacturing services.
The company serves aerospace, architecture and construction, automotive and motorsport, design and furniture, marine, and railway industries, addressing applications such as tooling, molds, large structural components and end-use parts. Caracol works with an extensive partner network spanning robotics suppliers including KUKA, materials producers, research institutes and universities such as Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Torino and Texas Tech. By combining six-axis robotics, digitalized workflows and large-format extrusion and deposition processes, Caracol targets efficient, flexible and more sustainable manufacturing for high-mix, large-scale industrial production, positioning its robotic LFAM systems as turnkey solutions for manufacturers and service bureaus worldwide.
