Benefits Vipra AM Delivers
-
Quality & Performance
Manufactures high-strength, high-integrity parts for advanced industries like aerospace and energy, improving strength-to-weight ratios by up to 30% in components such as load-bearing brackets.
-
Efficiency & Productivity
Shortens lead times for custom parts from 24 months to just 1 month compared to traditional forging or casting, allowing quicker delivery of critical components and enhance overall cost-efficiencies.
-
Sustainability
Minimizes material waste, achieving up to 90% reduction of buy-to-fly ratios for valuable materials like titanium, and reduces overall environmental impact of process printing on-demand, close to point of use.
-
Flexibility
Enables high customization, cutting costs for molds and tooling, and supports on-demand production of complex, bespoke parts, eliminating need for large stock.
Extreme Quality
Vipra XQ
For high-quality, precise and robust components Caracol developed Vipra XQ (Extreme Quality), which leverages PAD (Plasma Arc Deposition). This system handles a very wide range of metals, from stainless steel to titanium alloys, and it is perfect for large-scale, high-integrity parts in aerospace, as load-bearing brackets or structural components, and energy, as valves and piping connectors.
Extreme Productivity
Vipra XP
Designed for productivity and efficiency in large-scale metal parts manufacturing, Vipra XP (Extreme Productivity) offers high deposition rates, producing parts in materials such as aluminum and nickel-based materials. Ideal for transportation, as automotive components and marine propellers, and for lightweight architectural applications, it delivers fast lead times for complex, large parts.
