Caracol’s Premier at IMTS 2024, Chicago

Integrated Heron AM system opens up new opportunities for manufacturers seeking to drive new applications more efficiently and sustainably

AUSTIN, TX / MILAN, Italy, August 27th  2024 – Introducing its robotic large format additive manufacturing (LFAM) platform for the first time at a major US manufacturing tradeshow, Caracol, will showcase its advanced technology at IMTS, Chicago, on Sept. 9th-14th, to demonstrate how manufacturers can produce industrial large-scale 3D printed parts with more efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability.

Via live on-booth 3D printing with its partner, KUKA, (booth #236807, West Hall), visitors will be able to get an up-close look at the capabilities of LFAM via Caracol’s innovative flagship Heron AM integrated AM platform. This modular hardware-software robotic system works on 6+ axes to enable manufacturers in key sectors like aerospace, automotive, energy and maritime, to produce thermoplastic composite parts with very complex geometries and with no scale or shape limits. Additionally, demonstrating the disruptive potential of LFAM and robotics for industrial scenarios, Caracol will showcase various customer projects and applications at its booth (433039, North Hall).

“IMTS’s expanded focus on additive manufacturing and automation this year highlights the growing impact of these technologies in industrial supply chains. Since our inception, we’ve harnessed robotics to revolutionize large-scale 3D printing, enabling unparalleled efficiency, flexibility, and geometric freedom that conventional methods can’t match. We’re excited to showcase these capabilities through our customer projects at IMTS 2024,” comments Violetta Nespolo, Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer at Caracol AM.

Attendees at IMTS 2024 are invited to visit booths 433039 and 236807 to discover how the company is revolutionizing the manufacturing industry through its advanced 3D printing technology, and to witness the technology in action.
