The evolution of manufacturing starts from solving the most demanding industrial needs: building large, complex, critical parts with more efficiency and sustainability.

Caracol was born from the idea of pushing the limits of manufacturing, beyond what was possible. We brought that idea to life, combining robotics and additive manufacturing into a turnkey solution, which evolves the possibilities of production in terms of scale, shape, and materials.

We developed integrated robotic platforms Heron and Vipra – which combine software, hardware, and automation – to manufacture parts with additive processes such as pellet extrusion for composites and thermoplastics, and direct energy deposition for metal alloys.

Combining robotized additive processes with advanced software of path, parameters, and process planning, allows us to solve critical needs in highly advanced industrial sectors. From aerospace, to marine, to creative industries; from jigs, molds, to structural finished parts, and circular economy projects. We solve real needs, on real applications.

Today, Caracol has a global presence and direct offices in 3 countries; with the largest industrial LFAM production center in Europe and its HQ (Milan, Italy), a production facility in Austin (TX) - USA, and a commercial office in Dubai - UAE.
